CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) -- Dabo Swinney will earn $900,000 more this season than last, while his assistants at Clemson will receive raises totaling $495,000.

The school's athletic department released the salary figures on Tuesday, a day after a committee of Clemson's trustees recommended the increases.

Swinney's salary will rise to $1.75 million after the Tigers reached the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in 2009. Swinney's original contract called for a salary of $800,000. He also received a $50,000 bonus for winning the ACC Atlantic Division.

Defensive coordinator Kevin Steele received a raise of $200,000 to $575,000. Offensive coordinator Billy Napier got a bump of $75,000 to $275,000.
