CLEMSON -- Two years ago after a convincing Orange Bowl defeat to Tennessee, Dabo Swinney was at his vacation home in Boca Grande, Fla., when he decided it was time to make a change at offensive coordinator.

"There's a time and a place where you evaluate," Swinney said upon introducing Garrett Riley as Brandon Streeter's replacement. "The best thing was just being able to get away for a few days and really process, and start the evaluation process of our season with good perspective."

We are told Swinney is back in Boca this week, and again taking the time to make a careful evaluation of where his program is and where it's headed.
