Dabo Swinney comments on Clemson's firing of Brandon Streeter

On Thursday, Clemson Football announced they are moving on from offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter. The program hasn’t quite upheld the desired standard on the offensive end the past couple years and head coach Dabo Swinney decided a change was in order. So Streeter is out and the search for a new OC begins.

Upon announcing the news, Swinney shared a statement, appreciating Streeter for all he’s done with the Tigers while explaining the choice to move on:

“I am incredibly appreciative of Brandon for all he accomplished at Clemson in his 15 years as a player, graduate assistant, position coach and offensive coordinator. I am thankful for Brandon and love him and his family. He has always represented Clemson University with great pride, and I know he will continue to do great things.

“As the leader of this program, I am accountable for our staff and accountable for our results, and though we took a step forward offensively in 2022, after evaluating our offense in-depth, I felt it was in the best interest of our program to seek new leadership at that position. These decisions are never easy, but it is my job to evaluate and assess every part of our program every year, and this was just the right time to make a change.”

Still a lot of respect there from Dabo Swinney to Brandon Streeter. But, simply a move the head coach felt he needed to make for the program moving forward.

As for what sort of coach Swinney would like to bring in for the position, here is what he may be looking for:

“I look forward to bringing in a dynamic, proven leader at offensive coordinator with the specific purpose of meeting — and raising — the standard of excellence that has been established at Clemson. I passionately believe in our staff and in the young men in our program and am excited about the opportunity to see them grow even more in 2023.”
