Critic reviews

"The lifeblood of college football is passion, the same force that has propelled Dabo Swinney from the broken home of his youth to the apex of autumn Saturdays. Lars Anderson shows us how the blend of joy, work ethic, faith, and love that Swinney uses to coach 'Little Ol’ Clemson' is an extension of how he lives his life. The charm, the stubbornness and the dadgum motormouth that I have covered for years are on every page. Swinney is lucky to have a writer as talented as Anderson stamping the visa to Dabo’s World." (Ivan Maisel, on3.com senior writer, author of I Keep Trying to Catch His Eye)

"Dabo Swinney is one of the finest football coaches I've ever had the pleasure to work with. In Dabo's World, Lars Anderson provides an insightful look at his life, his journey, his values, and how he has built Clemson into a national power. Every coach in America - and every football fan - could learn from this." (Bruce Arians, Super Bowl-winning head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and two-time AP NFL Coach of the Year)

"Dabo Swinney presents himself to the nation as a simple man, and Clemson's success a naturally occurring phenomenon. But Lars Anderson has gone deep into Swinney's mind and method to reveal the complexities, challenges, and motivations of one of college football's most influential figures and mightiest programs. Dabo's World isn't just a book about a coach and his team. It's a vivid look into a football revolution, crafted in its head coach's image, and a deeply reported lens into leadership and management at the highest level. Everyone from football fans to business managers should read this book." (Kent Babb, writer for The Washington Post and author of Across the River)

Just Awesome

A year ago I heard Coach Dabo Swinney speak at a Nike Coaches Clinic, he was very enthusiastic and energetic speaker. After listening to this Book, I realized that speaking engagement was the “Real” Dabo as a Person. Was always a semi-Clemson fan as far back as when Coach Ford was there, now I’m not just a Clemson Fan but a Dabo fan as well.

Simply Amazing

This is a must read! Dabo is Simply Amazing, in every aspect of life. This book brings a lot of insight to his personal and professional life. The entire world needs more Dabo! I thank God for the example he is, to every young man he crosses paths with.

I am now respectfully in love with Dabo!

I learned so much that I otherwise would have never known about this great man. I am thankful to the biographer, and so am grateful for the testimony, heart and actions, is this godly man, Dabo! His players are so very blessed to be taught life (along with football) by him.

Very Basic Retelling

Very basic history of Dabo's life and career... almost like a cliff notes version. Not much depth or analysis.
