Spurrier Amends Future Plan Comments

Following Tuesday afternoon’s 2nd bowl practice Steve Spurrier addressed his statement about coaching for another two-to-three years. “You’re right, you need to always go under the four-to-five (more years plan),” said Coach Spurrier. “The pay’s pretty good for college football coaches as all of you know. We’ve got an excellent group of coaches here. If there’s some help we need somewhere along the way then I need to do that. I’m back on the four-to-five (year plan).”

Swinney Honors Seniors At Practice

Head Coach Dabo Swinney completed his post-practice comments to the team Wednesday by asking his graduates to the front. Twenty-two active players joined him.

“It is not an accident that this senior class is the winningest in Clemson history,” said Swinney. “Tomorrow is graduation day, and 17 of our players (including three injured) are going to become Clemson graduates. It is an indication of the work ethic this group has. It is part of our culture to stay the course and get the job done in everything that we do. That is why we have so many graduating tomorrow, some in just three-and-a-half years. I am proud of all of you.”
