With Tony Elliott’s courtship with Tennessee over, Clemson’s offensive coordinator can now focus more on his new role within the coaching staff as the Tigers’ new tight ends coach.
Head coach Dabo Swinney moved Elliott from running backs coach, where he has coached since returning to Clemson in 2011, to tight ends coach after Danny Pearman was given a new scouting/transfer portal evaluator role.
Elliott inherits an experienced group that potentially has a lot of talent and depth. Clemson likes to run a lot of 12 personnel (1 running back, 2 tight ends), and will also bring in a third tight end or an H-back, in short-yardage or goal line situations.
