Clemson football staff changes, designations of note after rule changes

Clemson football’s staff designations for the 2024 football season are official, and we told you a few weeks ago that changes were on the way after the NCAA changed the rules.

The Tigers now have a dedicated special teams coach after years of using position coaches and/or analysts.

The NCAA Division I Council recently opened the door for college football teams to completely rework the way they build their staffs this week. It voted to remove countable limitations on teams’ on-field coaching staffs, allowing unlimited numbers of coaches to provide help on gameday.

Previously, teams were only permitted to have 11 on-field coaches—the head coach plus 10 assistants.
