When Saturday’s game between Clemson and South Carolina kicks off, it will mark the 26th time the Tigers’ co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott has been on the sideline of what is the biggest game in the state of South Carolina.
Scott spent his early years in the rivalry on the sideline with his dad, Brad, when the elder Scott was the head coach of the Gamecocks from 1994-’98. After he was let go following the 1998 season, Brad joined Tommy Bowden’s staff at Clemson and Jeff has been on the Clemson sideline ever since – the last 11 as a coach, four as a player and the other five as Brad’s son.
