GREENVILLE (AP) -- The board of trustees at Clemson has recommended raises for football coach Dabo Swinneyand his staff after the team reached its first Atlantic Coast Conference championship game.
Athletic director Terry Don Phillips would not say on Monday how much Swinney or any of his assistants would make.
Swinney's original head coaching contract guaranteed an increase if the Tigers won the ACC's Atlantic Division, which they did for the first time last season. The accomplishment means Swinney should have about $1 million added to his original salary of $800,000.
Swinney retained his entire staff, specifically defensive coordinator Kevin Steele and recruiting coordinator Jeff Scott, after inquiries from other schools.
