Clemson Bringing Back Chad Morris as Next Offensive Coordinator, Reports Say

  • In January, Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney rehired Chad Morris as offensive coordinator, replacing Garrett Riley pending Board of Trustees compensation committee approval.
  • Swinney turned to Morris after the Pinstripe Bowl loss and disappointing season, rehiring the assistant who helped build Clemson's playoff and title era.
  • During his first stint, Chad Morris helped the Tigers offense average over 30 points and set 127 program records from 2011–14.
  • Clemson expects Morris to rebuild a regressed offense and assess personnel swiftly, immediately evaluating the crowded quarterback room for Cade Klubnik's replacement as the transfer portal opened Friday.
  • Critics note Chad Morris 'hasn't done much this decade' and his 18-40 head coaching record raises skepticism among fans, putting both his and Dabo Swinney's legacies at stake.
