Who will be coaching Clemson five seasons from now?
This national outlet doesn’t think it will be Dabo Swinney.
For Clemson, the Tigers’ projected coach in 2030 is … current SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee.
“This is a complicated time to assess both Swinney and Clemson, with the program coming off its worst season in almost two decades,” The Athletic’s Ralph D. Russo wrote. “Lashlee seems like a perfect fit, but there is a very real question about whether Clemson would be a clear upgrade from SMU for him.”
Lashlee is heading into his fifth season in charge of the SMU program in 2026.
