Jeff Scott

I told you earlier it looked like there was a lot of validity to the rumors of Scott heading to South Florida. It's gaining steam and it seems like it's simply about signing a contract and doing due diligence.

When an assistant accepts a HC job somewhere else , it's usually in everyone's best interest to move on once the announcement is made. It's hard to focus on two jobs at the same time and do good with either one if them.

The biggest part of this is the recruiting.

Jeff is an A+ recruiter w excellent relationships in Florida. I’m hoping Coach Swinney replaces him w a person that has same type relationships in Florida.
Wonder if Brad retires now as well? I’m sure he has helped Jeff over the years in terms of nurturing those relationships throughout Florida.
IMO this is the biggest loss to our staff Dabo has had in his career at Clemson.
Proud of what Jeff accomplished at Clemson and I am sure he will succeed at USF before landing a bigger job.

For what it's worth, Todd Bates has been incredible the last 2 years on the recruiting trails. He was in Florida so he has great contacts there as well.
I think we'll continue to do well. Our biggest thing now is selecting the right individuals to join in as we have more interest that spots.

We'll miss any of our dedicated team that seems like family, but that's kinda the idea... grow and make more just like yourself!
Just imagine if every team we played grew and did things the right way like Coach Scott has done under CDS - We'd see great football, but, more importantly, we'd see great men coming out of each program that everyone would be proud to call their son,

Dabo has a special talent for recruiting coaches to Clemson as well as players. It will be interesting to see who he selects to be the next Tiger super coach. Good luck to Scott ... and welcome new guy.

fall. And, it's a big domino. He is a major recruiter for us, especially in the state of Florida. USF will be getting a fine coach and a finer man. But, In Dabo I Trust. He has had a succession plan in place for at least a couple years, I'll bet.

There won't be any dominos to fall only if you mean the mountains of domino's pizza consumed at our CFP party and the NC party early next year.

Sucks to see Scott go but Streeter's ready
Dec 8, 2019, 9:22 PM

He's already been the recruiting coordinator ( Scott's former job ) and we've had some of our best classes ever. Put him on the headsets and let's get it.

I have absolutely no inside information, but Xavier Dye was a grad assistant for several years before joining the staff at WVU last year as WR coach. Given Dabo's penchant for hiring "in-house," I wouldn't be surprised to see XD return to CU. Timing seems right.

If Scott goes to USF when he is recruiting players and comes across a P5 player that does not want to go to a G5 team. Will he refer him to Dabo? Just a thought.

into a Power 5 . . . . . or the whole landscape of college football can change.
They have Power 5 facilities (and are improving them significantly right now) and they have a reasonable (but I really hate it) stadium in using Raymond James . . . . and they have a HUGE alumni base.
Mark it down - Jeff Scott will do extremely well here - as long as he has the support of his family - because it is going to take an enormous effort & time.

Jeff is a great OC and recruiter.
It's a big step from coordinator to HC. A step that many fall flat on their face making (look no further than Cola for that)
He's about to leave a VERY well paying job with minimal stress for the exact opposite (I don't know the terms of the contract, but he's making bank with Dabo).
I believe this is a leverage tool for more money for him and Tony.
I guess we shall see if I"m wrong or not

I'm guessing he'll make 2 to 3 times more at USF . . .
Dec 9, 2019, 8:55 AM

$2.5 to $4 LARGE . . . . to start.
And after 3 years, with some success, will be 25 to 50% more on top of that.

Not sure about that.

Strong's contract was 2 mil in year 4. Jeff is already making 1 mil now as an OC with a lot less work.
Maybe he has those aspirations to be a HC. I just think he's in a good spot now to wait until the right job comes up. I don't think USF is the right job.
App state or Memphis would be a great next stop for him, or a crappier D1A if he wants to brand himself as a program builder.

better opportunity.
He could go smaller school & build up . . . . if he is really good - might take him 2 to 5 years to get a shot at a Power 6 (not that THAT is really a thing, but that is what the AAC calls themselves) job next.
Here - he steps right in & can really set the standard where there really is no standard yet. In a warm climate, football talent hot bed, near the water (but he may be a mountain guy - who knows), going back to his family's roots kinda place.
I also see his Dad going with him . . . to be close to the grandkids, to help with USF, to go back "home" (although he may not consider the area "home" any more)
Good conversation - HATE it is about us losing Jeff Scott - but still good conversation.
