Tuned into Clemson's board of trustees winter quarterly meeting, where the compensation committee just entered executive session. Should be getting contract news soon on extensions (and perhaps some raises) for Clemson football's assistant coaches entering 2024
This is the usual spot for Clemson to re-up all of its assistant coach contracts another year and dish out any applicable raises ... Would assume DC Wes Goodwin ($850k annually right now) is a logical candidate, given how well his unit performed in '23 https://t.co/OyfvjrYuAy
