Waiting for Coach Swinney in the Smart Family Media Center. The sky just opened up, and it's pouring. So our viewing session will likely be inside.

Apparently, coach is running a little late.

Swinney says a team meeting went long, says the guys are excited and things got a little animated in the team meeting. He says as a coach this is what you love to do. You love to be with the players and get to be on the field and build a team.

He said the team did some good things last year, and then did some things that were really frustrating. He said they spent a lot of time on quality control looking into what went wrong…and they attacked where they see the weakness. But it’s still a new team and you have to start over.

Swinney says the offense scored a lot of points for the opposing teams and that is obviously not good. The defense was good, but not good in the red zone and they need to learn from that. And when the opponent did get into the endzone it wasn’t from a long drive but from an explosive play.

Tigers need five more points per game to be a Top 24 scoring offense in the country. He said everything goes back to turnovers and too many sacks and too many tackles for loss.

Swinney says Tyler Brown averaged 15 yards per punt return but lost confidence and "we had to fire him." Swinney says they have to get better in punt return. Lots of areas for improvement.

A pet peeve of mine. Kid comes out of high school. No Spring practice. He's dynamite on punt returns. Then he's coached up by Clemson coaches. His performance plummets. It just happens too often at WR and special team positions.

*Sherrod Covil tore his ACL back in November and is doing great. Will be in August. Jaedyn Lukus should be back in August as well (hip surgery). They hope to OL Walker Parks back maybe by the end of the spring. Freshman OL Mason Young tore his ACL. DE Armon Mason has a stress fracture and will miss the spring. Wide receiver Tyler Brown had surgery on his foot and isn’t quite ready but they hope to get him work this spring. DB Corian Gipson is trending in the right direction but will miss the spring. Noble Johnson is out this spring (wreck). Branden Strozier had surgery in November and they hope to get back at some point.

What’s happened to Cole Turner? He missed last season after injury & surgery, but nothing has been mentioned about him in updates.

*He said there disappointing things with DT Demonte Capehart and Noble Johnson. He says Capehart made a mistake and they will handle that within the team. Same with Johnson. An opportunity to teach and learn. He said, “Young people do dumb things from time to time.”

He was speeding on the way to something....practice? He got T-boned by a woman that didn't stop for stop sign. She was at fault, but he was a contributing factor.

*The midyear enrollees are a tough group and have a certain winning mentality and mindset. He said he has watched them in weight training and mat drills and they haven’t caved.

The kickers will go head-to-head this spring. "There isn't a lot of subjectivity to it," Swinney said. "It either goes through the pipes or it doesn't." He said Hauser was impressive during bowl practice, but he thinks Robert Gunn has made strides.

If Hauser does not win K position quickly, the portal awaits.

*On Cade Klubnik, Swinney says he was pleased with the interceptions (only four on him). But way too many disasters (fumbles, tackles for loss). Out of the 29 sacks, eight were on him. He needs better pocket awareness. But bottom line he has to take care of the football better and has to grow in his situational awareness.

Swinney says Klubnik has to get stronger and bigger. "He needs more collision girth, or collision sustainablity."

Big time. He has come a long way, but he has a way to go. Still runs like a baby deer to an extent.

*There are seven offensive linemen back who have started and won games. Ryan Linthicum will get a chance to play center. Linthicum, Harris Sewell, and Trent Howard will vie for that center spot. Elyjah Thurmon has played left tackle is powerful enough to play guard and he can also play center so he is sort of a wild card in there.

*Peter Woods will start out at defensive end (Swinney calls him a wild card). There is a lot of depth and talent at DT so they will take Woods and Caden Story and move them to end. Peter will play both, and may play DT in some passing situations. They are excited about AJ Hoffler and Jaheim Lawson.

Desperation move. Knew they would have to do something at DE to create depth.

*Swinney says they are excited about Christopher Vizzina. They knew they were going to redshirt him, and they followed that plan. He didn’t get a lot of physical reps, just mental reps, but was able to show some development in December. This is a big spring for him. It’s his job to prove he can win games for Clemson, and it’s also the job of Trent Pearman.

Sounds like he will get a legitimate look to prove himself just as Cade will need to improve if he wants to remain the starter. I like hearing those comments...
