  • On Swinney's desk is a montage of numerous mementos, from pictures of his kids -- "They're a lot bigger now," he said -- to tickets from an old Orange Bowl and the 1967 matchup between Alabama and Clemson (Swinney's alma mater and his current home).

    Perhaps the most significant heirloom, however, is an old business card signed by his most prized recruit, C.J. Spiller.

    "I knew he was a man of his word and I knew if he signed and said he promised to visit Clemson in January of '06 and he did," Swinney said. "I had a couple of his teammates witness it. I've kept that card forever as a reminder that if we can just get guys on this campus, we've got a chance."
