Clemson Interviewing Coaching Candidates

Clemson is in the process to find a new head football coach. Virginia Tech defensive coordinator Bud Foster is interviewing with Clemson athletic director Terry Don Phillips Friday.

Phillips flew to Detroit and interviewed former Oakland Raiders head coach Lane Kiffin. He has also interviewed Oklahoma defensive coordinator Brent Venables.

Interviews with Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and Vanderbilt Head Coach Bobby Johnson seem to be in the works. I wouldn't be surprised there will be a conversation between Phillips and outgoing Tennessee head coach Phil Fulmer.

Foster has been the only one to public state his interest in the Clemson head coaching position.

Don't forget that Dabo Swinney is auditioning for this job and is winning the hearts and minds of Tigertown. In a recent survey by greenvilleonline.com out of Greenville, South Carolina, Swinney was the popular choice getting 37% of the vote over Bill Cowher with 23%. Bobby Johnson received 13% while Will Muschamp got 10%.
