Conn looking for the heartbeat of the defense in new role

CLEMSON – Mickey Conn and the rest of the defensive coaches have the buy-in of the players and now they are looking for the heartbeat.

Conn was named co-defensive coordinator by head coach Dabo Swinney recently, duties he will share with Wes Goodwin. Conn told the media earlier this week that not much is going to change from when Brent Venables was calling the shots.

"We're all pretty much in place. We lost a big piece, but to be honest, coach (Mike) Reed has been working with the corners and he'll continue to work with the corners,” Conn said.
