Tony Elliott wants to block out the noise, and he wants his team to do the same.
Elliott returns to Clemson this Saturday when his Virginia Cavaliers travel to take on the Tigers (noon, ACC Network). Elliott knows much—if not most—of the talk will center on his relationship with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney and his years in a Clemson uniform and as a Clemson coach.
People have reached out, but Elliott isn’t answering.
“I need to apologize to some family members, some folks that have reached out,” Elliott said during his weekly press conference Tuesday.
