Wes Goodwin’s Exit and What It Means for Clemson Football (Pt. 2)
Here’s a quick summary of Lawton Swann's commentary on Clemson Sports Talk regarding Wes Goodwin's situation:
Goodwin's Options: Swann suggested Goodwin could have stayed in an analyst role at Clemson but believes Goodwin’s choice to step away makes sense.
Family and Finances: Goodwin has young children and now has the chance to spend time with his family without the demands of coaching. He will still collect his buyout from Clemson, earning substantial money while not having to work.
Oklahoma Risks: Moving to Oklahoma to work under Brent Venables could have been risky due to potential instability in Venables' tenure.
Potential Return: Goodwin could take time off, enjoy his family, and possibly return to Clemson in an analyst role later, with no bridges burned.
Swinney's Perspective: Swann speculated that Swinney, as a father, would understand and support Goodwin's decision to prioritize his family.
