CLEMSON – Tom Allen’s contract was confirmed by the Clemson University Board of Trustees Compensation Committee Tuesday afternoon, allowing Allen to take over as the Tigers’ defensive coordinator.
Allen was given a three-year contract with a salary of $1.9 million his first year, $2 million his second year and $2.1 million in the third year.
Allen, who just finished his first season as Penn State's defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, guided the Nittany Lions to a top-10 defensive finish in 2024. He replaces Wes Goodwin, who was officially let go by head coach Dabo Swinney a week ago.
