Swinney ready to take Clemson to new heights
For six weeks last fall, Dabo Swinney had no idea what his future would be. The former University of Alabama coach and player was named interim head coach at Clemson University halfway through the 2008 football season after Tommy Bowden resigned, but didn’t know what would happen when the season ended. In many ways, the former Crimson Tide walk-on was groomed for his current position from the end of his playing days.
Tide turner? Willis heading to Bama
Anything Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin can do, Alabama’s Nick Saban figures he can do better. About a week after the Vols seized the Crimson Tide’s ace Mobile recruiter, Saban turned the trick on Auburn for Lance Thompson’s replacement. Tigers linebackers coach James Willis – the only assistant retained by Gene Chizik from former coach Tommy Tuberville’s staff – was hired Wednesday by Alabama. Willis replaces Thompson as a Crimson Tide linebackers coach and presumably chief Mobile-area recruiter. A Huntsville native who starred at Johnson High before becoming an All-SEC Auburn linebacker from 1990-92, Willis spent the past three seasons coaching the same position at his alma mater.

Caldwell is one of four former Crimson Tide players participating in the all-star game. He will play center, joining quarterback John Parker Wilson, safety Rashad Johnson and tight end Travis McCall.
Roll Tide!
