Clemson may soon have more on-field football coaches, and head coach Dabo Swinney thinks it’s the right move.
Swinney and the Tigers have long been known for the number of support staff in the program, and at away games, the number of support staff and coaches equals the number of players on the travel roster. However, coaches have been limited to 10 on-field coaches.
That might soon change.
The Football Bowl Subdivision Oversight Committee put forth a proposal this spring to remove the cap on how many of a program’s staffers can do on-field football coaching, while still limiting off-campus recruiting activities to 10 assistants (or 12 in the FCS) plus the head coach.
