Clemson University Head Football Coach Dabo Swinney has won his second straight Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year award. The Associated Press reports that the announcement was made Wednesday night, two days after Coach Swinney lead the Tigers to its first national championship in 35 years. Swinney is only the second coach to win the award twice, joining Chris Petersen, the winner in 2006 and 2009 at Boise State, and the first to win it in back-to-back seasons. Swinney led Clemson to back-to-back appearances in the national championship game, avenging last year’s loss to Alabama on Monday night with a 35-31 victory over the Crimson Tide. Swinney is 89-28 in eight seasons at Clemson.
