Clemson University is making significant strides in its search for a new defensive coordinator following the departure of Brent Venables. With ongoing discussions, the university appears to be closing in on a deal to hire Tom Allen, currently the defensive coordinator at Penn State. Allen has emphasized the importance of maintaining a high level of performance, stating, ‘The new guy has to hit the ground running.’ Head Coach Dabo Swinney is looking to make a swift transition to ensure that the defensive unit remains competitive in the upcoming season. The university is reportedly aiming to finalize the contract soon, with an announcement expected shortly.
