Clemson University’s Compensation Committee for the Board of Trustees officially approved several coaching changes on Dabo Swinney’s coaching staff Thursday morning.
After seriously being courted by Tennessee a few weeks back to be its new head coach, Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott was given a significant bump in salary. Elliott’s annual salary went from $1.7 million to $2 million, making him the fourth highest paid assistant coach in college football. Elliott was approved for a new three-year deal.
