Tony Elliott Appears To Be a Target

[VolnJC]

I'm fine with it...everyone comes with a risk...we are getting a class act, a great recruiter, street and media cred for hiring an AA, and someone who has won championships

It ain't happening he is getting dogged on Twitter.

Elliott could turn down the job. That should sober up some of these negative posters about our place in 2021 NCAA Football.

We can only hope and pray. Maybe then they will either keep Steele or consider Chadwell.

If that really works, then keep dogging him.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

While Elliott isn't my first choice, clemson doesn't seem to want to lose him. I will trust our AD, I think he and only a few truly know what is going on. GBO!!!!

Farrell?

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I truly hope this is not the case. If so, Tennessee football is dead

 

[VolArmy74]

why didn't he do us a solid and take one of those NFL jobs?

He has been waiting for a HC job. He turned down the Titans and Dolphins too.

You would rather have Steele or Chadwell's offense than Elliott's. I find that strange.
VolNation can get weird, man.

He shouldn't even be your 5th choice.

Chadwell is not being considered.

They would be undefeated every year if they played nobody

They play nobody until the playoffs. Seriously, I think over the last 3 regular seasons they’ve played 2 ranked teams (outside of the playoffs).

He'll probably end up being worse than Pruitt.

I know. Just makes too much sense they would do something right for once. Well you know another big school won't make that mistake.

Yikes

Pruitt and Elliott and considered the tops in co-ordinators. Elliott speaks in complete sentences and is liked and repsected. Pruitt was respected only.

Yikes

yikes is the right expression.

 

[Perspective]

Dabo is the only person you listed that built a program. Clemson caught lightening in a bottle there.

Riley and Day just kept a quickly moving train rolling (Oklahoma May be slowing down).

Exactly. Programs in great shape, with a lot to lose handing things over to a first time HC, weren’t pulling in proven HC.

Hiring elite assistants is what even the best are forced to do

They are not going to hire anyone that may reflect negatively on the university. I would be Ok with it but many do not believe Chadwell is ready and his offense is gimmickry.

Anyway this has not been confirmed so it is BS until it is announced by reliable sources.

Yeah man it’s looking like this is it.

They are 10-1 vs the SEC in the regular season in recent years and 2-0 vs Alabama in the NCAA title game in the last 4 years.

And yet still voted AP coach of the year. I respect a guy who has earned his stripes over an unproven coordinator.

 

[Tarkus]

I never read White passed over White for Heupel. Could have been Elliott not taking it. ???

Yep, Elliot interviewed for the job and came in second to Josh Heupel.

Chadwell has NCAA issues. That eliminates him from consideration most likely. Chadwell personally told someone I trust implicitly that he hasn't been contacted by Tennessee.

Well facts aren’t welcome here.
Some could say Bama didn’t play anyone until the playoffs. Florida lol. Texas A&M best win was that overrated UF team
