Is Elliott truly a candidate to be Georgia Tech's next head coach?

Now that Paul Johnson has announced his retirement from Georgia Tech this afternoon, talk and speculation has already begun on who will replace him in Atlanta.

Several names are being mentioned as possible replacements for Johnson, and The Clemson Insider has learned Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott is one of those names.

According to sources, Georgia Tech will be interested in talking to the Clemson coach and will have him on their short list of coaches who do not have head coaching experience.

Also, if Georgia Tech requests to talk to Elliott about its head coaching vacancy, sources have told us Elliott would be interested in the job.
