We revisit this interview from November of 2018 with Clemson Hall of Fame member Wayne Coffman, an icon in athletics and academic support.
Coffman talks his relationship with Dabo Swinney, the pressures of being an academic adviser for a high-profile sport, growing up in a household of 13 children, and how in the world he got the nickname "Cheech."
Both of Coffman's parents passed away by the time he was age 18, and no one in his family had completed any education beyond high school.
At Clemson, Coffman became not only a college graduate and Atlantic Coast Conference champion in cross country, but he also went on to earn a master’s degree from the school in education counseling.
Coffman became head coach of the Clemson's women’s track and field program at age 27 and went on to coach for the next 12 years, leading the team to the first ever ACC women’s track and field and women’s cross country championships. He was a five-time ACC Coach of the Year.
