Swinney announces Robbie Caldwell's retirement as OL coach |
Robbie Caldwell got a Gatorade bath and the game ball in his final game as the OL coach for Clemson during the 20-13 Cheez-It bowl win on Wednesday night.
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney shared during his postgame press conference that Robbie Caldwell has retired from his on-field work as OL coach. However, Caldwell is not leaving Clemson as he will stay on in an off-the-field role. "Man, I am so thankful that he did (stay around for 2021 season) because there ain't many people that could have handled what we had to handle in that offensive line this year," Swinney said. "I love him, he and his wife, Nora. The good news is he's not going anywhere. He's going to transition off the field and going to run our high school relations and sophomore transition and work on some scouting as well. I'm really thankful that he's going to be with us. But it's time, and he's excited about a new role and an opportunity to impact the team.” Thomas Austin is the new offensive line coach, Tyrone Crowder will move into Austin's old role (analyst), and Brandon Thomas will also help the OL (grad assistant) next season. One of the best to ever do it! You have impacted so many lives, including mine! @OLCoachCaldwell Thank you for all you have done for @ClemsonFB and your players. #GOAT #OL @secaldwell34 pic.twitter.com/s64V34bO9Y
