It isn’t much of a secret that one of the keys to Clemson’s football success is staff stability. Unlike a lot of head coaches across the country, Dabo Swinney doesn’t have to scour the nation each season for assistant coaches, and that consistency is a big part of how the Tigers have been in the College Football Playoff four consecutive seasons and won two National Championships.
Defensive coordinator Brent Venables has passed up numerous chances to go elsewhere and has been in Clemson since 2012.
Co-offensive coordinators Tony Elliott (set to begin his ninth season on staff) and Jeff Scott (set to start his 12th season) have worked their way up the proverbial ladder.
