Dabo Swinney, Clemson Tigers Expected to Make Change at Defensive Coordinator

he Clemson Tigers have wrapped up their season and are now starting to think about what 2025 will look like.

 

It was a solid bounce-back season for the Tigers in 2024. The program was able to win double-digit games and the ACC Title on their way to making an appearance in the College Football Playoff. Unfortunately, they were eliminated in the first round of the CFP. One of the weaknesses for Clemson most of the season was their defense. Despite having some talent on that side of the ball, they never lived up to expectations.

In the loss in the CFP, the Tigers’ defense allowed 38 points to the Texas Longhorns, who, while they are a solid team, weren’t known for their offensive prowess. With struggles on that side of the ball, there has been a lot of discussion about whether Dabo Swinney will be making a change at defensive coordinator.  Will Vandervort of the Clemson Insider recently spoke about the Tigers being expected to make a change at defensive coordinator.
