CLEMSON – Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney didn’t waste time hiring new coaches, adding former Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke and former Clemson coach Chris Rumph to his coaching staff in a move announced Monday.
The Clemson Board of Trustees Compensation Committee met Monday morning to approve the hiring of Luke, who will coach Clemson’s offensive line, and Rumph, who will coach the defensive ends.
Luke and Rumph will be among the highest-paid position coaches in the country. Luke will make $975,000 in 2024, $1.1 million in 2025 and $1.2 million in 2026. That $975,000 figure ranks him as the seventh-highest-paid offensive line coach, just ahead of Alabama's Eric Wolford ($925,000).
