Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Would rather have Chadwell than Elliot

Oof. I don't know. I think I might go Elliott...?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Elliott has 1 year of being the solo offensive coordinator, right?

Correct. Co-OC with Jeff scott since 2015, but Elliott has always been the play caller.

 

[drvenner]

I believe the nugs

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Elliott would be a name that the national media loves. He also has ties to top guys. What kind of staff he could put together is a big question mark but he is intriguing. My biggest worry is if Dabo leaves for Bama in 3 years does Clemson come calling.

 

[InstrumentalVol]

This. How do you bring a guy that has never been a HC where he needs to learn on the job while having to deal with the NCAA issues? Just does not line up with what they have said so far related to wanting experience.

Yeah and also this dude played for Clemson under Bowden. I would almost imagine he is at his dream job, might be made coach in waiting by Dabo? Really can't get myself hyped for this choice but I trust DW to make the right call.

 

[Dustin4Vols]

We make all this mess to fire Pruitt just to hire an offensive coordinator as coach? Only Tennessee.......

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

No

Yes

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Oof. I don't know. I think I might go Elliott...?

I definitely think he would have the better coaching staff.

 

[drvenner]

I read three pages and you all add two more. You all really need to slow your roll.

Correct. Co-OC with Jeff scott since 2015, but Elliott has always been the play caller.

Yeah, Co OC was just a title. Elliott has called plays since Morris left.

Elliot>chadwell and it’s not close Imo

 

[UT_King]

Going from talks of Campbell to Elliott is a MASSIVE let down.

 

[Kingston Vol]

We can do a lot worse.

No because we’ll never top 8-4 if we even reach those heights under first time HC with no experience Elliot

 

[UpstateVol613]

After watching that he doesn’t belong in the same zip code as Campbell much less the same ballpark.

 

[Jackcrevol]

This morning from SF. Siap

Stoerner runs on, sentences.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

The staff is a big concern. He's never coached outside South Carolina.

If he can clear that hurdle... Who knows.

I don't think he and Pruitt are on the same rung of the ladder, in terms of coordinator candidates. Pruitt was known to be a project.

Elliott is much less so, by all accounts.

Elliott gets rave reviews as a person from people I know that worked at Clemson and they weren’t Associate ADs or anything high on the totem pole. So already leaps and bounds ahead of pruitt’s reputation in that regard.

Elliot>chadwell and it’s not close Imo

That’s like picking between dog turds or cat turds.

Both of them stink.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Yes

Elliott has P5 experience, NC game experience. Has beaten Alabama and has connections with top recruits. Chadwell songs Rocky Top.

Elliot>chadwell and it’s not close Imo

I dunno. I worry about Elliot coming from the situation he’s in at Clemson to our mess of a situation. Personally, I feel like we need someone that’s built a program.

 

[drvenner]

Hi Lace.

@BruinVol has been outted.

 

[volbeast33]

Seeya in 3 years at the next coach search.
Wonder if we will have a new AD on the next one, and everyone saying "we got a real AD this time! and they are saying NO MORE COORDINATORS! no more trying someone out!"

You are insane....Danny white knows what he is looking for in a coach..... great coaches come from small colleges.... coordinators...... or even wr coaches like
Dabo.

 

[Aesius]

Okay, out on Fleck. It's gonna be Chadwell again. Dammit, gonna have to start changing my avatar every 5 minutes like Bass.

 

[Vols410]

There are totally risks going the coordinator route with Elliott.

There are also huge risk going lower level with guys like Chadwell/Napier, regardless of their success at that level.

Overall, I want one of Campbell/Kiffin, but if they’re unavailable and we’re looking at the OC/G5 stack, I’d be totally fine if DW thinks Elliott is the best choice. He’s better suited at quantifying those risks/rewards and has proven it at both of his stops so far.
