Perfect fit: Playoff teams’ in-house hires getting it done

Associated Press  

Former Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips made a deal with Dabo Swinney when he decided to make him the Tigers head football coach.

We didn’t need anything changed.” Day arrived at Ohio State in 2017 after a stint in the NFL, hired by Meyer to be co-offensive coordinator and quarterback coach. It was the next step in Day’s goal of one day leading a program and Smith said he considers it his job to help assistants with head coaching aspirations to reach those goals. “Essentially, what you’re saying is everything else is fine, but it’s just that the head coach was the problem,” Lattinville said.
