Former Clemson Football Coach Turned Luxury Home Builder with Jeff Scott

Ask a question you want covered on the Monthly Q&A Podcast

What does it take to go from leading championship football teams to building multimillion-dollar homes? In this episode of Think BIG with Taylor Lyles, we sit down with Jeff Scott, President of Haven Valley Builders and former Clemson Offensive Coordinator and Head Coach at USF.

Jeff shares how the lessons he learned under Dabo Swinney—like “How you do anything is how you do everything”—translate from the locker room to the boardroom. He opens up about leadership, managing high-stakes projects, and how recruiting top athletes isn’t so different from qualifying luxury home buyers.

You’ll also hear how Haven Valley Builders, founded in 2023, has quickly earned a reputation for boutique, high-touch service with an average home price of $3 million. From managing customer relationships (“dating your prospects”) to leading multi-million-dollar builds, Jeff offers rare insight into the parallels between elite sports and business success.

If you want to learn how championship-level leadership applies to business growth, this episode is for you. To learn more about Jeff and Haven Valley Homes, check out their website here.
