Clemson fired offensive coordinator Brandon Streeter on Thursday and hired TCU offensive coordinator Garrett Riley a day later as his replacement, the school announced.

Riley is getting a three-year, $5.25 million contract with a signing bonus to serve as the Tigers’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, a source told ESPN’s Pete Thamel. Riley’s hiring was approved by the Clemson board of trustees Friday.

“I am super excited to welcome Garrett and Lindsay Riley and their two precious sons to the Clemson Family,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said in a statement. “Garrett has an incredible track record. His body of work — including this past season when his ninth-ranked scoring offense helped TCU transform from a five-win team into a 13-win national championship game finalist in their coaching staff’s first season — speaks for itself.”

Streeter served just one season as the Tigers’ full-time playcaller, though he had been with Clemson as an assistant coach since 2015 and played quarterback at the school from 1995 to 1999.

Riley spent this past season at TCU as the Horned Frogs’ offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. He was named the Broyles Award winner as the top assistant coach in the nation.

“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,” Swinney said of the offensive coordinator change in a statement Thursday. “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.”

TCU lost 65-7 to Georgia in the College Football Playoff national championship game. That’s after beating Michigan 51-45 in the semifinal game at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl. The Horned Frogs finished ninth nationally in scoring offense (38.8 PPG).

Riley, the younger brother of USC coach Lincoln Riley, had been a hot commodity. He also talked to Texas A&M‘s Jimbo Fisher about the Aggies’ offensive coordinator job.

“The opportunity to join a program with such a rich tradition and renowned culture was simply too good for me to pass up,” Riley said in a statement.

Streeter served as quarterbacks coach during both of Clemson’s most recent national championships, mentoring future first-round draft picks Deshaun Watson and Trevor Lawrence. He was promoted to offensive coordinator last year after Tony Elliott left to become head coach at Virginia.

This marks the first time Swinney has fired an assistant coach since defensive coordinator Kevin Steele was let go following a 70-33 loss to West Virginia in the Orange Bowl to end the 2011 season.

Swinney had to replace both coordinators after Elliott and longtime defensive coordinator Brent Venables left for head-coaching jobs. He made in-house hires for both jobs, promoting Streeter and defensive analyst Wes Goodwin. Swinney shrugged off questions about the internal hires — something he’s done with the overwhelming number of staff vacancies in recent years — by saying culture trumped experience.

“Hope is a big part of this program,” Streeter said last offseason. “Somebody had to believe in Coach Swinney to get where he is. They saw something in him, and that’s what he’s done with this staff. Give guys opportunities, and you’ll be surprised what they can do with it.”

Streeter actually made marked improvements on Clemson’s offense in 2022. The Tigers went from 5.2 yards per play, 26.3 points per game and 2.0 points per drive in 2021 to 5.6, 33.2 and 2.5, respectively, in 2022.

In both seasons, however, Clemson struggled with quarterback concerns, as former blue-chip recruit DJ Uiagalelei floundered for long stretches, a young receiver corps failed to develop quickly and the offensive line muddled through a number of shaky performances.

Perhaps the biggest knock on Streeter’s brief run was the lack of carries for star running back Will Shipley. Shipley had just three rushes in the first half of Clemson’s Orange Bowl loss to Tennessee in December.

White Sox put Meidroth on IL with bruised thumb

SEATTLE — The Chicago White Sox placed rookie shortstop Chase Meidroth on the 10-day injured list Thursday with a right thumb contusion ahead of their 4-3, 11-inning loss in their series finale against the Seattle Mariners.

Meidroth, who is hitting .252 with three home runs, 15 RBIs and 11 stolen bases, said he will be shut down from swinging for “a few days.” He hasn’t registered an at-bat since July 30 against the Philadelphia Phillies, when he was hit by a Taijuan Walker sinker in the fifth inning.

Also Thursday, Chicago selected the contract of shortstop Jacob Amaya from Triple-A Charlotte and designated right-handed pitcher Gus Varland for assignment.

Ticket to reprise: Mets honor Beatles' Shea 60th

NEW YORK — The Mets will honor the 60th anniversary of the Fab Four’s performance at Shea Stadium, where they will host the Mariners on Aug. 15 for The Beatles Night at Citi Field.

The 1965 performance was a milestone because The Beatles became the first rock band to perform a major stadium concert. A 50-minute documentary titled “The Beatles at Shea Stadium” captured the show. At the time, the multipurpose stadium was home to the Mets and New York Jets.

The celebration will begin with a performance by 1964 the Tribute in front of Shea Bridge at 6:15 p.m. ET. The first 15,000 fans to enter Citi Field will receive an exclusive Shea Stadium replica.

The first pitch will be thrown by members of the game-day staff who worked the famous concert. A themed fireworks show will be held after the game.

M's Naylor exits with sore shoulder after swing

SEATTLE — Mariners first baseman Josh Naylor left Thursday’s 4-3 victory against the Chicago White Sox in the third inning because of shoulder soreness, manager Dan Wilson said.

In his first at-bat against White Sox starter Shane Smith, Naylor grimaced after swinging at a high, inside fastball. He walked down the first base line and back before finishing his at-bat, which ended with a strikeout.

Naylor stayed in the game, but later exited after grounding out to second base to end the third inning.

Wilson told reporters after the game that Naylor is day-to-day.

Naylor, one of Seattle’s notable trade deadline acquisitions from the Arizona Diamondbacks, is hitting .289, with 14 home runs, 65 RBI and 21 stolen bases this season. Since joining the Mariners, the left-hander is batting .261 with three home runs and 10 stolen bases.

While with the Diamondbacks, the left-handed hitter was pulled from a June 23 game — also against the White Sox — in the fourth inning due to right shoulder discomfort. Naylor avoided a stint on the injured list and returned to the lineup two days later.

Donovan Solano, who hadn’t played in two weeks, took over at first base for Seattle when Naylor exited.

The Mariners, who swept a series for the first time since July 11-13, moved within 1 1/2 games of first-place Houston in the American League West.
