After 17 years at ESPN, Chris Low made the move to On3 this summer.

Low is known for his relationships with high-profile college football coaches, and he has spent the early stages of his time at On3 traveling for in-depth sit-downs with them as he tries to give readers behind-the-scenes stories and insight they can't get anywhere else.

Last week Low was at Oregon sitting down with Dan Lanning two days before the Ducks' showdown with Indiana.

This week he traveled to Oxford to visit with the inimitable Lane Kiffin.

Low also reflects on Dabo Swinney's attempts to get Clemson back to the top.

Once upon a time, in 2007, Low left a highly successful job at the Nashville Tennesseean newspaper for the Tennessee Rivals site Volquest.

He was only in that position for a small time, though, as ESPN came calling soon thereafter.

Low participated in the podcast while on his way to Athens to cover Saturday's Ole Miss-Georgia game.

Darien Rencher's last act as a Clemson football player was being a part of a team that had a dramatic turnaround in 2021 after a 4-3 start.

That team closed by winning six consecutive games, including a 30-0 suffocation of South Carolina and a victory over Brock Purdy's Iowa State team in the Cheez-It Bowl.

At that time, 10-3 felt like a jarring low point.

Four years later the Tigers are 1-3 and Dabo Swinney is desperate for answers as he tries to keep this from turning into a wreck similar to Florida State's 2-10 disaster last year.

Rencher remains close to the program, and he remains a devout Swinney loyalist. He communicated with his former coach this week and Rencher says he still has not just hope but confidence that the team can get it back on track and close with a flourish.

Rencher also goes deep into his latest venture: Traveling for in-depth video interviews with high-profile figures including Fran Brown, Carson Beck, LaNorris Sellers, Gunner Stockton and Ryan Williams.

The goal is getting these figures to open up in ways that they do not during regular press conferences, and Rencher seems to have firmly checked that box thus far.

What's wrong with Clemson?

What's wrong with Dabo Swinney?

What's wrong with Cade Klubnik?

What was wrong with the widely popular notion that this team could be the best in the nation?

Why are the Tigers 1-2, and what are the reasons fans can be hopeful of a turnaround?

Longtime radio voice Mickey Plyler joins The Dubcast to explore it all, and much more.

What in the world is going on with Clemson?

Eric Mac Lain and Ellis Johnson have some thoughts.

Mac Lain, who played offensive line for Dabo Swinney, is quite critical of the offensive line play he's seen thus far.

He's also not sure what to make of Cade Klubnik's jittery presence over the first two games.

Johnson, a former assistant at both South Carolina and Clemson, now lives in Clemson so he can be close to his son, a walk-on tight end for the Tigers.

Johnson thinks the issues this team has shown thus far on both sides of the ball can be solved over the course of the season

But he's not sure they can be resolved Saturday against Georgia Tech, a physically and mentally tough group that can make life extremely difficult on some of the inexperience Clemson has in the secondary.

"Georgia Tech has been playing to their level of talent, and Clemson has not," Johnson said. "Hopefully they can get it turned around, but I think it's going to be a tough test for Clemson. I really do.

"If they don't find a running game that they can lean on in critical times of the game, they're going to be in trouble."

Every summer, Tigerillustrated.com sits down with Brad Brownell for a lengthy interview in his office.

This year's interview came in early July when Brownell was still in the formative stages of assimilating an almost entirely new roster after significant attrition from last year's team that went 18-2 in the ACC.

The Q&A originally appeared as a multi-part series at Tigerillustrated.com.

This is the full, uncut audio from a sit-down that lasted almost 80 minutes.

Dave Clawson and Dabo Swinney became good friends over the course of Clawson's 11 seasons as head coach at Wake Forest.

Clawson came agonizingly close to beating Clemson but never did, and he says he's particularly haunted by the 2022 game the Tigers won 51-45 in double overtime on the Deacons' home field.

Clawson has great respect for not just the program and culture Swinney has built, but for the 2025 team that he believes looks a lot like the powerhouse that won two national titles and advanced to the playoffs every season from 2015 to 2020.

Bryce Koon covers LSU for The Bengal Tiger of the On3 network. He joins the podcast to share what Brian Kelly is like behind the scenes and says it's quite a lot different from what is perceived from afar.

How many LSU fans will trek to Clemson, even those who aren't going to get into the stadium? How much pressure is on Kelly to win big this year? And what can Clemson fans expect a year from now when Swinney's Tigers return the favor and visit Baton Rouge?

Matt Luke and Nick Eason recently sat down for lengthy interviews to preview the 2025 season. This is the uncut audio from those sessions.

Luke is entering his second year as Clemson's offensive line coach after two years away from the game. He says there's no other job at any other school that would have pulled him away from his sabbatical.

Eason, entering his fourth season at his alma mater, has a stacked group of defensive tackles including Peter Woods and DeMonte Capehart.

Clemson opens its season Aug. 30 against LSU.

Garrett Riley and Tyler Grisham recently sat down for lengthy interviews to preview the 2025 season.

We present the uncut audio from both sessions.

Riley is entering his third year as Clemson's offensive coordinator after Dabo Swinney lured him from TCU following the Horned Frogs' run to the national championship game.

Grisham, a Clemson grad, has arguably the top receiving corps in college football with Antonio Williams, Bryant Wesco, TJ Moore, Tyler Brown and transfer Tristan Smith.

Clemson opens the season Aug. 30 against LSU.

Tom Allen and Ben Boulware recently participated in media interviews in advance of the 2025 season.

We present the uncut audio from both of their interviews.

Dabo Swinney pulled off a coup in landing Allen after the firing of Wes Goodwin, who lasted three years as the Tigers' defensive coordinator.

Boulware, who is in charge of the linebackers, spent the previous year in a support-staff role for his alma mater. 

Clemson's defense is poised to make a major rebound from the group that struggled mightily to stop the run last season.

What does it do to the mind of an 18-year-old college athlete to have hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bank account?

"I pray for them all the time," Tremayne Anchrum said. "Because I had a great upbringing. I had great parents. I had a great support system. And you know what? I still did a lot of stupid things. So I can't really imagine people with no support system and who have bad influences, listening to everyone who DM's them. They might not have the best decision-making process. I definitely feel for them, because it's hard being young in this time period. And I don't think people give enough grace when they see people mess up. You're a product of your environment, and a lot of people don't come up in the best environment. So now you add money to that mix, and things might not be perfect."

The collegiate model was totally different when Anchrum was an offensive lineman for Clemson from 2016 to 2019. Since then he has been in the NFL and seen what it's like behind the scenes at the professional level.

Anchrum, currently a free agent, is back in Clemson this summer training at the Tigers' football facilities.

He joined The Dubcast to talk about life after football, what to make of the current state of the college game, and his enduring love for Dabo Swinney.
