A lot of people wonder. With all of its success, why hasn’t Clemson lost more assistant coaches to other jobs, in particular head coaching jobs?
Brent Venables has been one of the two highest paid assistant coaches the last two seasons and was the winner of the Frank Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach in 2016. Just a few weeks ago, Tony Elliott was named the 2017 recipient of the Broyles Award.
In the past three seasons, Clemson has lost just two coaches, one to retirement and one took a job as an assistant coach in the NFL.
