CLEMSON – Wes Goodwin is confident headed into year two, and the main reason isn’t the talent the Tigers have on hand. It’s because now he knows a little more about what to expect from the grinder.
Talk to every other college coordinator in the country, and chances are they spent time as a member of an on-the-field coaching staff, learning their craft, how to recruit, and how to handle games. Wes Goodwin didn’t really get that chance. After assisting in an analyst role, he was thrown into the grinder when head coach Dabo Swinney named him as Brent Venables’ replacement as defensive coordinator before the Cheez-It Bowl in December of 2021.
