5 Coaches that Clemson Football should add to their staff

Dabo Swinney will soon be able to add more coaches to his staff. Here are five candidates that we think are no brainers.

Chansi Stuckey

Stuckey played for Clemson from 2003-06. He started as a quarterback, then transitioned into a wide receiver. He had 114 career receptions for the Tigers.

After his pro career (which included stints with the New York Jets, the Cleveland Browns, and the Arizona Cardinals), he entered the coaching profession. After starting as an analyst for Swinney, he got his first opportunity as a wide receivers coach with Baylor.

A year later, Stuckey got the same position for Marcus Freeman with the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. It was a big step for Stuckey. Unfortunately, it didn’t last.

After the 2023 season, Stuckey was dismissed by Freeman. Presently, Stuckey has not jumped on to another staff.

There is a side of me that wonders if Swinney is just waiting on this rule change to bring guys like Scott and Stuckey in, and they have not joined another staff because they know it.

What would Stuckey do? Tyler Grisham is the wide receiver coach and has been killing it on the recruiting trail for the past couple of years. One of the catches with this rule change is that programs would still be limited to eleven coaches who can travel to recruit players.

There is one more thing Stuckey did at Clemson: special teams.

"One of my most memorable moments at Clemson was the punt return against Texas A&M."

Stuckey is one of the only players in program history who scored touchdowns throwing, receiving, rushing, and on special teams.

Clemson hasn’t employed a dedicated special teams coordinator in a while. It’s time.
