Clemson defensive coordinator Wes Goodwin will not return for the Tigers in 2025, the university announced Monday. Goodwin spent three seasons as Clemson's defensive coordinator after replacing Brent Venables when he left for Oklahoma.

Wes Goodwin has been fired as Clemson’s defensive coordinator after three seasons. The Tigers traditionally have been one of the top run-stopping teams in the country but ranked 85th in rushing defense this season after allowing more than 200 yards in five games.

Goodwin had been the Tigers defensive coordinator since December 2021after being promoted from his role as a little-known analyst.
