• In 2009, he coached Clemson's tight ends, who combined for 54 receptions, most-ever for the position in school history. Coached First-Team All-ACC tight end Michael Palmer and Second-Team All-ACC offensive tackle Chris Hairston.
• Helped Clemson to an ACC Atlantic Division title and a top-25 final AP ranking in his first year as a full-time coach.
• Joined Clemson's staff in December of 2008 and coached in the 2009 Gator Bowl. He joined a small group of people who have played for Clemson in a bowl game and later coached the Tigers in a bowl game. He donned the orange & white during the 1986 Gator Bowl and 1987 Citrus Bowl.
• One of two Clemson graduates on the coaching staff (Jeff Scott is the other). He played tight end on Clemson's 1986 and 1987 ACC Championship teams, then he served as a graduate assistant on the Tigers' 1988 ACC Championship team.
• In 19 years as a full-time Division I head coach, his teams have played in 15 bowl games. Including three years as a graduate assistant coach, it is 18 bowl games in 22 seasons.
• His coaching career got off to a great start with an eight-year tenure at Alabama. In just his second year as a full-time coach, he directed the offensive tackles and served as special teams coordinator on Alabama's 1992 National Championship team. The Crimson Tide defeated Miami (FL) in the Sugar Bowl to claim the title.
• Alabama made six bowl appearances in his eight years on the staff. The Crimson Tide won the SEC Western Division five times in those eight years.
• He served on the same Alabama staff with current Clemson Head Coach Dabo Swinney from 1993-97.
• After eight seasons at Alabama, he moved to Virginia Tech, where he worked eight years under Head Coach Frank Beamer. The Hokies went to eight bowl games during his eight seasons with the program.
• Virginia Tech played Florida State for the National Championship in the Sugar Bowl in 1999, so Pearman has coached in the National Championship game in the Sugar Bowl with two different schools.
• Coached tight ends at Virginia Tech and was also a special teams assistant. He coached two tight ends who later played in the NFL.
• Coached at North Carolina in 2006, Duke in 2007, and Maryland in 2008, so he is very familiar with the ACC. He helped Maryland to the Humanitarian Bowl in 2008.
