Clemson’s Brandon Streeter taking on bigger role in offense with Jeff Scott departure

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced Friday evening after practice that assistant Brandon Streeter will be promoted to passing game coordinator.

Streeter’s promotion comes after former co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott was hired as the head coach at South Florida earlier this week. Tony Elliott will remain as the team’s lone offensive coordinator.

Streeter, who was serving as Clemson’s quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator, will officially be promoted at the end of this season. With Streeter taking over as passing game coordinator, the Tigers will have a new recruiting coordinator.

“Probably we’ll move some duties and probably change a few titles within our staff, but Tony will be the offensive coordinator. Brandon has done an awesome job as well, probably be more of the pass game coordinator,” Swinney said. “Probably move his recruiting coordinator title over to another guy on the staff. So we’ve got a good plan for all that stuff, got a great group of people here. It’ll all settle out once we kind of finish this thing.”

In addition to Streeter, offensive analyst Kyle Richardson will also have a new role.

Richardson is set to take offer for Brad Scott as Clemson’s Director of Player Development and Recruiting Transition. Brad Scott is taking an off-the-field role with Jeff Scott at USF.

“That’s a hard job. It’s a job you have to have been a coach to be able to do. So we’ll see. We’ve gotta go through the processes and all of that stuff. Nobody’s done yet,” Swinney said. “We’ve gotta finish up the season, and once all of that stuff’s done we’ll get everything settled out on the rest of the staff.”
