In coaching hires, Swinney not worried about pleasing the minority

CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney says that his program is the model program in all of college football, and that its record speaks for itself. Swinney pointed to that record and said if people don’t believe in him and trust him to make the right hires for his program after that sustained success, then they aren’t ever going to believe in him.

Swinney announced Tuesday a number of staff changes, including Wes Goodwin being promoted to defensive coordinator/linebackers coach and adding the role of co-defensive coordinator alongside safeties coach Mickey Conn.

Cornerbacks coach Mike Reed added the role of special teams coordinator previously held by Conn, while recruiting coordinator/defensive tackles coach Todd Bates has added the title of assistant head coach.
