Dabo Swinney hopes to fill Clemson's defensive coordinator job this month. Here's why Swinney will likely target an experienced, external coach.

Clemson defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin will not return for the Tigers in 2025, the university announced Monday. Goodwin spent three seasons as Clemson's defensive coordinator after replacing Brent Venables when he left for Oklahoma.

Clemson football’s defensive coordinator change is official. Current DC Wes Goodwin “will not return to Clemson’s coaching staff” for the 2025 season, coach Dabo Swinney announced via press release Monday morning.

Clemson fired defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin on Monday. Here's how much the school will owe Goodwin, who had two years left on his contract.

Mario Ferraro produced a fight and the game-winning goal, Marc-Edouard Vlasic notched a point in his season debut and the San Jose Sharks broke an eight-game losing streak by edging the visiting Tampa Bay Lightning 2-1 on Thursday.

Wes Goodwin has been fired as Clemson’s defensive coordinator after three seasons. The Tigers traditionally have been one of the top run-stopping teams in the country but ranked 85th in rushing defense this season after allowing more than 200 yards in five games.

Goodwin had been the Tigers defensive coordinator since December 2021after being promoted from his role as a little-known analyst.

Dabo Swinney released a statement on the decision on Monday. He thanked Wes Goodwin for everything that he did for the Clemson football team. Goodwin has been with the Tigers for quite a while, so this wasn't an easy decision.
