Clemson’s disastrous 2025 campaign mercifully came to an end on Saturday afternoon with a 22-10 loss to Penn State in the Pinstripe Bowl.
After beginning the season as the No. 4 team in the country, the Tigers will now end the year with a 7-6 record and a long offseason ahead. Head coach Dabo Swinney will no doubt have some tough choices to make regarding players and coaches in the program this offseason.
Offensively, Clemson has struggled with Cade Klubnik under center. His final game with the program on Saturday went poorly as he threw for just 193 yards on 39 pass attempts. Clemson was only able to manage 1 touchdown on the day.
Defensively, Clemson was a bit disappointing in this game as well. The Nittany Lions, playing with a backup quarterback, averaged 5.2 yards per play and went an impressive 11-of-19 on third down.
Offensive coordinator Garrett Riley and defensive coordinator Tom Allen both could face uncertain futures following a season in-which Clemson finished just 4-4 in ACC play. This is Riley’s third season as Clemson’s OC while Allen just finished his first year with the program.
After the loss to Penn State went final, fans and media called upon Swinney to make serious changes to the program this offseason:
Dabo was selling something earlier this week about this being the greatest in-season turnaround in Clemson history and then they lay an egg against a team without a coaching staff. Reality must be confronted this offseason.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) December 27, 2025I’m just gonna say this. If Dabo doesn’t take this offseason as seriously as he needs to (coaching changes and Portal especially a QB) he will be gone in less than 2 years. If he can’t see the glaring problems then he shouldn’t be our head coach anymore point blank period.

— John (@iam_johnw) December 27, 2025I have given Dabo Swinney 5 years now in our downward spiral. I can't do this anymore, Clemson nation. He is not adjusting or adapting. I thank him for putting us on the map and hate to see him destroy what he built. Forever grateful but ready for him to retire. Hope I'm wrong! pic.twitter.com/y4LNT8bitH

— Zach Smith (@CoachZachSmith) December 27, 2025What a joke, man. Can’t score on a 6-6 team with no head coach and a first-year defensive coordinator. Get Garrett Riley out of Clemson right now. #Clemson

— Scott Reichel (@ReichelRadio) December 27, 2025If Garrett Riley is back next year it’s gonna end up with Dabo leaving within the next 2 years.
— Adam (@adamdropsbombs) December 27, 2025I mean there’s just zero chance Garrett Riley has a job at Clemson come NYE right?
— Clemson Addict (10-3, 0-0) (@Clemson_Addict) December 27, 2025Years of bad hires.Years of charity roster spots for friends of the program. Dabo did it knowingly… he did it willingly… pic.twitter.com/QA7iZ8D7Qo
