Clemson great CJ Spiller was formally announced as the Tigers’ new running backs coach Thursday morning, and while there is no doubt he was a great player, no one knows what kind of coach the Florida native will wind up being.
We’re about to find out as Spiller takes over the running backs room from offensive coordinator Tony Elliott, who will now coach the tight ends. It’s the culmination of a few years of soul-searching for Spiller, who spent last season as an unpaid graduate intern at Clemson.
“It's kind of funny, I knew once I got done playing that I would be kind of figuring out what I wanted to do with my rest of my life,” Spiller said.
