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

BOOM BABBYYYY!!!! That’s the optimism we need around here. I love that positivity. That really get the vibe going around here. GOTTA LOVE IT!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).
