Clemson Football: Transformation Phase set to begin for 2019 team

Championships are won long before 80,000 Clemson football fans cram into Death Valley for a Saturday full of action.

Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney has always maintained that championships are won during the “Transformation Phase,” or summer, for short.

Following spring practice, the Clemson football team will enter a time period where there won’t be much news or notes coming out of the program. Coaches won’t be meeting with the media daily. Players won’t have interviews.

They are going to be focused solely on taking a few classes and working their bodies to the max.

After every spring camp, the coaching staff meetings with each player and lets them know where they sit on the depth chart and what they want to see from them in the summer.
