Earlier this week, Dabo Swinney officially announced Thomas Austin returned to Clemson as an offensive analyst who will be assisting Robbie Caldwell on the offensive line.
Though Swinney did not say it, it is presumed Austin was brought in to eventually take over for Caldwell when the 67-year-old offensive line coach decides to retire in the future. If that is indeed the case, it will likely mean Swinney’s entire offensive on-field coaching staff will be filled with former Tigers.
C.J. Spiller, of course, officially joined the staff earlier this month as Swinney’s new running backs coach, replacing former Tiger Danny Pearman as on on-field assistant coach.
