This coming Thursday, C.J. Spiller will be officially hired by the Board of Trustees as Clemson’s new running backs coach.
Spiller, who will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame later this year, is another splash hire by Dabo Swinney. Outside of Nick Saban at Alabama, few coaches have done a better job of solidifying a coaching staff than Swinney.
Just look at Swinney’s track record for evidence. He brought in Chad Morris to run the offense in 2011, instantly, the Clemson offense improved and a quarterback with no real experience prior to 2011 led the Tigers to their first ACC Championship in 20 years.
