CLEMSON — Dabo Swinney finally pulled the trigger on Monday.
As reported on Monday, Swinney and Clemson officially announced offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and safeties coach Mickey Conn will not return to Tigertown in 2026.
Of course, these fires are no surprise. The Clemson Insider reported back in November that changes were coming to Swinney’s staff and on Dec. 1 we reported that “we feel confident, unless things change dramatically, that offensive coordinator Garrett Riley will not be back at Clemson next season.”
TCI later reported we did expect Conn to return to Clemson, either, in 2026.
