Getting blood from outside the program will rejuvenate it. Let’s go. #clemson Big news out of Clemson today with the hiring of Garrett Riley. Swinney proving he isn't afraid to make the big moves Buckle up Clemson. And hold on to all receipts. TCU played in the national championship 3 days ago. I can’t believe how quickly Clemson pulled this off. current Clemson players are liking my IG story about streeter being fired … clearly they wanted that change too. it’s good they’re excited for a change. For Garrett Riley, Texas native, to turn down A&M for Clemson probably means he doesn’t see the Aggies heading in the right direction. Clemson fires OC/QB coach Brandon Streeter. “I am accountable for our staff & our results. Though we took a step forward offensively in 2022 after evaluating our offense in-depth, I felt it was in best interest of our program to seek new leadership at that position,” Dabo Swinney Clemson is targeting TCU OC & reigning Broyles Award winner Garrett Riley as its next OC, sources tell @SINow. Deal not finalized, but it would be a whopper of a hire for Dabo Swinney and the Tigers. If we were to take a meaningful transfer tonight on top of this news you would have to pick me up off the floor. TCU has some dudes I wouldn’t mind seeing in Clemson regalia. Spoke with former #Clemson OL and current ACC Network analyst Eric Mac Lain, who had this to say about the hire of Garrett Riley... "This is exactly what #Clemson needed to do. A massive hire that has sent a shockwave https://t.co/Z42ixniVJi Christmas came on January 12 this year pic.twitter.com/PkETXViZbS Me showing up to work tomorrow pic.twitter.com/QiSUniI0pd I see frustration over what Clemson is doing at OC and what Miami… isn’t doing. I feel it, too. Gotta talk about this tomorrow. Dabo hiring Garrett Riley is a big deal. That’s someone who can create the easy yards that Clemson has left on the field the last two years I know some of y’all didn’t like Streeter. Remember he’s a tiger and has a family. Don’t be a jabroni and tag him in any BS. This is a business and he’s a Tiger I haven’t been this excited about Clemson football since like 2020 ? Dabo when he learned what the C in TCU stands for pic.twitter.com/mpIHFmTOXH The best offensive minds in the entire college game are Day and the Riley family, two of the three weren't available (Ryan and Lincoln), Clemson landed the one who was. Best possible hire to be made and Dabo hit it. I’ll say this business is business especially in this profession, but I really do wish Coach Streeter and his family the best. Good man, Clemson FB alum, and played a major role in the best run in @ClemsonFB history up to this point.
Also, much easier to win in the ACC and assistants love working for Dabo.
The team parted with OC Brandon Streeter earlier today.
