As we reported yesterday, Clemson co-offensive coordinator Tony Elliott looks to be the frontrunner to be Georgia Tech’s next head coach, following the retirement of 11-year coach Paul Johnson.
So...who is he?
In addition to being the co-offensive coordinator, Elliott also coaches the running backs for Clemson, and well...I’d say that unit was pretty solid. Clemson’s rushing attack featured a lot of talented running backs, but was spearheaded by Travis Etienne, who was an absolute game-changer for the Tigers. He finished the season with 1,307 yards and 19 touchdowns, while averaging eight yards per carry.
