[I]n one of the anonymous interviews, an opposing coach took a jab at the Clemson Tigers over their change at offensive coordinator.

“When you recruit against these guys, all you hear about is ‘family, family, family,’ and him going outside of his group and making the change at offensive coordinator isn’t about family.
