No official comment from Clemson yet, but from what I'm hearing, it sounds like a done deal. I'll hate to see him go, but it was inevitable that he and Elliott would both take head coaching jobs at some point. Perhaps Chad Morris will return to Clemson either now or down the road, but my guess is Brandon Streeter will be promoted to Co-Offensive Coordinator. I would also think that Scott will insist on staying with Clemson through the playoff before leaving for USF. I expect to get a statement from Dabo soon. Be sure to keep it here for the latest!  |

Statement from Jeff Scott: "I have great respect for the USF football program and what has been accomplished in a very short time and can't wait to get to work building on that foundation to produce a championship program. It is difficult to leave my alma mater and the great program we have built at Clemson, but I believe we can do great things at USF. I am thankful to Coach (Dabo) Swinney and all the Clemson players and staff for the great experiences and lessons that have prepared me to lead USF football." |

STATEMENT FROM DABO: I first want to thank Jeff Scott for a wonderful 12 years. I'm happy for him and his wife, Sara, and his daughter, Savannah, and I’m so appreciative of all their family has meant to us over the last 12 years. We're going to miss them tremendously. Operationally, Jeff will be serving as the head coach at USF for the next week before rejoining us the latter part of next week and remaining with us for the duration of our College Football Playoff run. Our team is excited that he'll have the opportunity to finish our 2019 season with us. Jeff has been with me since day one when I became interim. He's somebody I trust immensely and he's extremely loyal. He's been patient for the right opportunity, and I think this is that right opportunity. He’s got a great AD in Michael Kelly. It's a great fit for Jeff and I know that he's well-prepared to take this next step and has all the tools he needs to be a great head coach. It's been a real joy to watch Jeff grow and develop and work side-by-side with him. He's done an amazing job representing Clemson, representing the program, coaching our wide receivers and coordinating our offense. His leadership has been a big part of our success, and we will always appreciate his contribution to our program. |
