Clemson’s got a new secret weapon.

Game changer for Georgia’s opener.

Dabo Swinney is adding a former head coach to his staff.

Former Duke head coach Ted Roof, who spent last season as Vanderbilt’s defensive coordinator, is joining Swinney’s staff at Clemson. The Clemson Insider has confirmed Roof will join Swinney’s staff as analyst. He is expected to be approved, along with other coaching items on the football staff, at Thursday’s Board of Trustees Compensation Committee meeting.

I’m pretty sure Venables already knows how to blitz, so I don’t know what else Ted brings to the table, other than a familiarity with losing to the Dawgs.  Maybe Dabo’s trying to manage expectations.

    Hiring these assistants is like the college coaching fraternity’s own welfare system for shitty coaches.

    I find it hard to believe that all these “analysts” and “consultants” are actually keeping away from hands-off coaching. How do they get away with it?
