Former VU Coach Joins Clemson Staff

 Send This Story To A Friend

Former Vanderbilt head coach Robbie Caldwell — the man who got all of one year to prove himself in Nashville — has landed himself a job on Dabo Swinney’s staff at Clemson.  Caldwell will coach the offensive line for the Tigers next year.

Ironically, Caldwell will replace another former SEC head coach on Clemson’s staff.  Former South Carolina head man Brad Scott is leaving the O-line position to take a job in Clemson’s athletic department.

Caldwell coached at Vandy from 2002 through this past season when he was thrust into the head coach’s role mid-summer.  The Commodores finished with a 2-10 record, identical to the final mark of Bobby Johnson who abruptly retired last July (ruining one day of my own Las Vegas vacation, I might add).

Like most media members who follow the SEC, we at MrSEC wish Caldwell nothing but success.  His entertaining persona will be missed at Media Days in a few months.  I’m pretty sure no one expects James Franklin to tell any stories of turkey insemination.
