What Garrett Riley's big move means for Clemson, Dabo and TCU
After a second consecutive three-loss season, Dabo Swinney is remaking the Clemson program. Last year, the Tigers head coach promoted from within when former coordinators Brent Venables (Oklahoma) and Tony Elliott (Virginia) got head-coaching jobs.
But after firing offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter on Thursday, ESPN sources say Swinney will name TCU's Garrett Riley to the same position. It is a shake-up at a program known for continuity -- Swinney hadn't fired an assistant coach since 2011 before this move.
Riley is fresh off winning the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant while helping guide the Horned Frogs to the national title game in his first season in Fort Worth.
