Tony Elliot Reaching Out To Assistant Coaches Should He Become Tennessee HC

[Hbd10]

What a touching story.

Really seems like a great stand up individual. I wouldn’t mind a guy like this leading our program one bit

Clemson football rumors: Tony Elliott reaching out to potential assistants for UT job

From a Clemson website

This is just an article explaining that he tweeted that. There's literally nothing of substance in this article.

Bring him and bring a predominantly black coaching staff.

Nah. Predominantly white. A lot of good white coaches out there.

Anyone who has a strong opinion on Tony Elliott and hasn't been coached by him or worked with him is just being ridiculous IMHO.

This.

I don't know how great of a HC Elliott would be....no one does. But if the multiple NFL teams with HC's like Pete Carroll are trying to snag you up from the college ranks to be an OC....you have got to be one hell of a play caller. On the flip side...great play callers do not always make great HC's...see also Jeremy Pruitt...which is why everyone on here is nervous about him.

No one knows anything. Until Danny White makes a statement or you see “BREAKING“ from a credible source then dont believe ish.

I think Danny White will shock everyone with a hiring out of far left field.

 

[TheFlash1971]

you mean "vertically challenged", right?

Yes vertically challenged.

 

[SpookyAction]

No! New coach needs to clean house and start over

If coach wants that, I back him up, 100%. There are some good coaches on staff. If thy don't fit the new coaches plan, they have to go. I am simply saying Chaney and Steele can contribute.

Ryan Klesko confirmed.

Just bring a predominately competent coaching staff!

 

[alvinkamara]

I don't care if they are PURPLE as long as they can coach, communicate and produce positive results, that is the best criteria we can hope for.

Purple people would be an exclusive minority......I'm inclined to agree with you on that point

 

[DocVol]

Bring him and bring a predominantly black coaching staff.

Racist, IMO

 

[bpalmer28]

This is good news for us. It means Elliot wants the job but hasn’t been offered it yet. Sounds like he’s our fallback option. Not a bad fallback IMO but I’d be surprised if we can’t get someone with HC experience. Hard to imagine us passing on Chadwell and Napier or them passing on us.

Kiffin, Freeze, Campbell, Fleck, Malzahn, Franklin and the like became a pipe dream the moment we announced the investigation.

 

[gemlek]

Yes vertically challenged.

just trying to keep a safe space for those who might be inclined to eat their Play Dough or use their blunt scissors as a weapon.

 

[lewis co vol]

This guy has had to fight his whole life .I'll take a coach like that hope its him

I'm not against him being hired, (prob said it 20 times by now) bit just think our current situation isn't ideal for a 1st time head coach. If he's hired I'm not turning in my fan card. He'll have my full support for at least 3 years. Only time will tell. No hire is a guaranteed homerun or failure.

Original tweet could turn out to be accurate but I can promise you that Brent Dougherty has absolutely no inside sources. He's the plain McDonald's hamburger or Nashville sports media. Him and George Plaster could put you to sleep quicker than any over the counter medicine out there.

Couldn’t have said it better. Boy would we be upset if goes somewhere else and ends up a star if we pass on him and hire dykes. I truly hope that doesn’t happen

 

[UToverload]

I'm good with this! OC promotion may work.

 

[UToverload]

The last two HC's brought in were DUDS.

Basilio indicated this morning that White is personally opposed to any Sexton clients. Glad to know we are eliminating an entire field of excellent coaching candidates because of personalities.

Here we go again. A coordinator with no HC experience.

It's gonna be Elliot, and unless we catch lightning in a bottle, we will be right back here in 4 years.

Oh well, as I have posted elsewhere, fall days will be awesome opportunities to do something besides watch Tennessee be boat raced by (insert rival here).

Racist

 

[Steve_Smith89]

That's what they want us to say.

We could much, much worse than Tony Elliot.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

This guy has had to fight his whole life .

Does that automatically make him the best HC candidate out there?
