Clemson fires offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter

Clemson has fired offensive coordinator Brandon Streetter after one season, Clemson Sports has confirmed.

Streeter was promoted to offensive coordinator prior to the 2022 season. He replaced Tony Elliott, who left to take over as the head coach at Virginia.

Streeter had been on staff at Clemson since 2015, serving as the quarterbacks coach. He was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2020-21, then was named Clemson’s OC prior to the 2022 season.

Clemson ranked No. 48 nationally in total offense this past year, averaging 410 yards per game.

Dabo Swinney released a statement about Brandon Streeter being fired on Wednesday.

“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.

“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.”

As Swinney mentioned, Streeter didn’t just coach at Clemson, he also played for the Tigers.

He was a three-year letterman at Clemson from 1997-99, serving as the Tigers’ starting QB each of his final two years.

Streeter was a grad assistant at Clemson in 2004 and 2005 and later spent time as an assistant at Richmond and Liberty.

Streeter was hired as a full-time member on Clemson’s staff in 2015. The 46-year-old coached arguably the two best quarterbacks in school history in Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence.

Clemson made the College Football Playoff in six of his eight seasons on staff, winning a pair of national titles.
