During his radio call-in show Monday night, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney was asked about his trend of having a bunch of “Clemson men” on his staff, such as some of his former players like C.J. Spiller, Tajh Boyd and Tyler Grisham, as well as former Clemson players pre-Swinney like Tony Elliott and Brandon Streeter.
A caller asked Swinney what his mindset is with bringing a lot of Clemson people onto his staff, and when having to evaluate whether to retain or replace a coach, if he could make tough decisions with people he is close and loyal to if they weren’t adequately getting the job done.
