Swinney answers some coaching questions, leaves some unanswered

ATLANTA — Prior to Thursday’s College Football Playoff Coaches Press Conference, Dabo Swinney said he will announce his plans for his new co-offensive coordinator on Friday after No. 3 Clemson begins preparations for the 2020 Fiesta Bowl against No. 2 Ohio State.

As for his wide receivers’ position coach, Swinney had no problem talking about his plans for Tyler Grisham as his new wide receivers’ coach. Grisham, who has been an offensive analyst coach for Swinney the last six seasons, will move up and replace Jeff Scott, who took the job as head coach at South Florida.

Swinney says he and Grisham will both coach the wide receivers while the Tigers are at Clemson and Scott will coach them next Wednesday when he rejoins the team and then in Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl.
