Practice Notebook: Swinney finds it weird prepping for Tech’s new spread offense

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney admits it has been a little weird preparing for Georgia Tech this off-season.

During the past 11 years, the Tigers have had to prepare for Paul Johnson’s triple-option offense. But that is not the case now. Johnson retired after last season, and the Yellow Jackets brought in former Temple head coach Geoff Collins to run the program.

Collins is the exact opposite of Johnson. He wants to spread everything out, run tempo and throw the ball around the yard.

“It would be weirder if I was actually watching Georgia Tech,” Swinney said.
