Getting hired to be a head coach: Jeff Scott seeks out advice from his dad and Dabo

When it came time for Jeff Scott to think about leaving Clemson and taking the job at South Florida, he leaned on two of his closest advisors in head coach Dabo Swinney and his father, Brad Scott.

TigerNet ran the first part of the Jeff Scott series Friday in which he talks about the process of being contacted by South Florida Athletic Director Michael Kelly.

Scott told TigerNet that Clemson’s Woody McCorvey approached him after practice the Monday after the win over South Carolina to ask if he would be interested in the job.
