Xavier Dye played at Clemson from 2007-10 and during that time, Scott was a graduate assistant under then Clemson head coach Tommy Bowden in 2008 before Dabo Swinney promoted Scott to wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator at the conclusion of the season.

Dye returned to Clemson as a graduate assistant in 2017 spending two years under co-offensive coordinator Jeff Scott.

Brown announced on Twitter that the search is underway for a new receivers coach.

I want to thank Xavier Dye for his contributions to WV Football over the last 10 months. We wish him the best as he reunites with his close friend and mentor Jeff Scott. (1/2)
