Chad Morris returns to Clemson after leading record-setting offenses from 2011-14, averaging 468.5 yards and 36.3 points per game, ranking top 15 in power conferences.
- On Jan. 5, 2026, Head Coach Dabo Swinney and Clemson Football announced Chad Morris as offensive coordinator after the Clemson University Board of Trustees Compensation Committee approved his three-year deal.
- Following the Dec. 29 dismissal of Garrett Riley after a 7-6 2025 season, Swinney said fit and alignment with Morris motivated the hiring.
- Among concrete accomplishments, Morris's 2011-2014 Clemson offenses averaged 468.5 yards and 36.3 points per game, with a 41-11 record, and helped develop Tajh Boyd, DeAndre Hopkins, and Sammy Watkins.
- Financially, Chad Morris will make $1.2 million annually, is tied as Clemson's second highest-paid assistant with Matt Luke and Nick Eason, and has performance bonuses and buyout terms.
- After a year away, Morris will be formally introduced at a press conference later in January; Dabo Swinney said, `The one thing I know about Chad, he knows how to score points` as Morris returns for the 2026 season.
