Clemson Nears Deal to Hire Penn State's Tom Allen as Defensive Coordinator, Citing Family Considerations
Jan 13, 2025, 04:25 PM
Clemson University is in the process of finalizing a deal to appoint Tom Allen, currently the defensive coordinator at Penn State, to the same position within its football program. Allen, who previously served as head coach at Indiana, has been identified as Clemson's top choice for the role, with a decision expected to be formalized in the upcoming days. His tenure at Penn State saw the Nittany Lions' defense rank among the top 10 nationally in several key categories, including scoring defense, total defense, and rush defense. Allen's move to Clemson is influenced by family geography, as it would bring him closer to his two daughters who reside in the Carolinas. Additionally, his son, Thomas Allen, is expected to join the Clemson staff in an analyst role.
