Clemson announces extensions for football staff, raises for 2 assistants

Clemson is keeping Dabo Swinney’s staff intact. Assistant coaches and support staffers all received 1-year extensions through the 2024 or 2025 seasons depending on their contracts. Two on-field position coaches received raises.

Jon Blau of The Post and Courier shared the details Friday morning on Twitter. Defensive line coach Nick Eason and cornerbacks coach Mike Reed each received pay bumps from $750,000 to $800,000 annually. They are part of the group extended through 2025.

The Clemson board of trustees’ compensation committee has approved raises for two coaches:

-DL Nick Eason, from $750K to $800K
-CB Mike Reed, from $750K to $800K

All assistants and support staff given one-year extensions (either through ’24 or ’25 seasons).
