"Let the man cook": A look inside how Swinney might conduct his coaching search

“Let the man cook."

Clemson’s search for a new defensive coordinator is well underway, and like we’ve preached since the loss to Texas in the first round of the College Football Playoff, patience is the key. Rumors have run rampant and names have been tossed out there, but Swinney has done most of his work in radio silence.

He returned from his vacation home in southwest Florida Sunday, met with the coaches (the entire staff) Monday and released a statement about the school parting ways with former defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin. One quote stands out:

“I will start the interview process immediately and will hope to have our new defensive coordinator named by the end of the month or sooner,” Swinney said.
