Dabo Swinney is known as a family-friendly head coach, and for new defensive coordinator Tom Allen, that was one of the biggest reasons to coach at Clemson.
Wednesday night is family night during the season, and the families of players and coaches are not only invited but encouraged to come to the PAW Bistro and eat supper together following practice. Swinney is also known for allowing his coaches to attend their kids’ functions and even coach, and time away from the facility to spend time with family is never frowned upon.
Allen knew all about it, and said that was one of the reasons he left Penn State.
