Jeffcoat was the head coach of Texas Wesleyan University from 2002 to 2018. On March 1, 2018, an email written by Jeffcoat to a potential recruit began circulating. In the email, he claims that recruits from Colorado are likely to have problems with drugs and thus rejected the recruit without a proper try-out. The move was considered politically motivated due to the inclusion of the phrase "thank your liberal politicians", referring to the fact that Colorado legalized marijuana for recreational use in 2012. On the same day, Wesleyan terminated Jeffcoat's contract with the university.
