You can officially squash those Tommy Tuberville-to-Clemson rumors. Dabo Swinney, who went 3-3 as the interim coach at Clemson after Tommy Bowden was fired, is expected to be hired for the job on a full-time basis, according to ESPN.com.

So much for that long-running rumor that Tuberville might pull a Houston Nutt and have his agent orchestrate a way out at Auburn and get him latched on at another school.
