Harbison to Swinney: I'm staying at Clemson
By Travis Sawchik
CLEMSON – Dabo Swinney can relax again.
A day after Florida contacted Clemson's coach about speaking to defensive backs coach Charlie Harbison, Harbison told Swinney on Thursday he is staying at Clemson.
Florida is searching for a new defensive coordinator.
It's unclear Florida's interest level in Harbison, one of Rivals.com's top 25 recruiters.
The Gators might be zeroing on their next defensive coordinator, Arizona Cardinals assistant Teryl Austin. The Orlando Sentinel reported Austin interviewed in Gainesville on Wednesday and is the favorite after impressing Florida head coach Urban Meyer.
It's the fourth time this offseason a program has had a documented interested in one of Swinney's assistants, and the third inquiry by an SEC program.
In addition to Tennessee's courtship of Kevin Steele and Florida's interest in Harbison, Tennessee was also interested in defensive line coach Dan Brooks and USC-bound Lane Kiffin contacted Clemson receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Jeff Scott.
