At one point, Jeff Scott thought the only way he’d ever leave Clemson was if the Dallas Cowboys called.
While that might be a stretch even for one of the most coveted coordinators in college football—and Scott was mostly kidding when he said this—his point has merit. Scott has been coaching at Clemson, his alma mater, for 11 years. He’s climbed the ladder from graduate assistant under Terry Bowden to co-offensive coordinator under Dabo Swinney. In that time span he’s recruited and developed some of the best players in the country, from Sammy Watkins and DeAndre Hopkins, to Tee Higgins and Justyn Ross.
