CJ SPILLER TO JOIN CLEMSON FOOTBALL STAFF
The two Clemson running backs who are widely regarded as the best in school history will now be in the same running backs room.
C.J. Spiller is joining the Tigers coaching staff as an unpaid grad intern, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced Tuesday evening.
Spiller will assist offensive coordinator Tony Elliott in working with two-time ACC Player of the Year Travis Etienne and Clemson’s other backs. His first day on staff was Wednesday.
“We just added another pretty good unpaid grad intern named C.J. Spiller. I’m very excited about having him join us,” Swinney said. “He told me on Sunday he was wanting to start his coaching career. He’s gonna get his Masters in athletic leadership. He actually joined us today, so I’m really excited about having that guy.”
Spiller was named an All-American in football and track during his time with the Tigers. His No. 28 number is retired.
