CLEMSON — It seems Dabo Swinney has his guy to run Clemson’s offense in 2026.
The Clemson Insider learned on Thursday that former SMU and Arkansas head coach Chad Morris will likely be Clemson’s new offensive coordinator. Morris, of course, held the offensive coordinator position at Clemson from 2011-’14 before moving on to SMU.
Morris replaces Garrett Riley, who was fired on Monday after three seasons.
There are some of you who will not be a fan of the Morris’ hire, though he makes sense in a lot of ways. Morris was the architect of the Clemson offense that dominated College Football from 2015-’20 when it won two national championships and advanced to College Football Playoff for six straight years.
