Clemson, Longtime Assistant Coach Part Ways

CLEMSON — Clemson has parted ways with a longtime assistant coach.

Mickey Conn is no longer a part of the coaching staff, head coach Dabo Swinney announced late Monday. Conn became Clemson’s full-time assistant coach for safeties in January of 2017. He became the Tigers’ defensive passing game coordinator and co-special teams coordinator titles prior to the 2025 season.

“We will also have a change with the leadership of our safeties with the departure of Mickey Conn,” Swinney said in a statement. “Coach Conn is someone that I’ve known since 1990 and he truly is family to me.
