Faith and family. Those things are Tom Allen’s priorities, aside from just football. And those are reasons why taking Clemson’s defensive coordinator job was the right move for him.
Allen has yet to officially kick off his first season at Clemson. He has only been on Dabo Swinney’s staff since January, but says his decision to choose Clemson has already been validated during his short time in Tiger Town.
Not only does Allen fit right into the culture Swinney has created at Clemson, but coming there also allowed Allen and his wife to be near their two daughters who live in the Carolinas.
