Clemson’s new defensive coordinator, whoever that turns out to be, won’t have a lot of time to walk around getting acquainted with his new home. There is work to do.

Head coach Dabo Swinney has been working on finding his guy, the right guy, in what might be the most important hire since he brought in Brent Venables following the 2011 season. The new guy has a short amount of time to make a big impression on recruits, and the amount of time the window is open all depends on where a hire is officially made.
