You're very into absolutes haha. "The End." "End of thread" "Or bust"
Just joking with you, but I two of those three. Nothing in Ellotts past gives me confidence. Clemson has been an easy firsat OC job for him. I'm not saying he couldn't work out, but I'd pick 8-9 guys over him.

I like Elliot...everything I've read the last few days has made him my #1 choice.

 

[GTLorenzo]

The more I read about Tony Elliott, the more I like him. Not to say he couldn’t fail here because it’s tough, but he has A LOT going for him.

Co-OC of football powerhouse
Recruits in the area
Great recruiter
African American in ATL
Engineering degree
Walk on who earned a scholarship
Great/tragic life story to tell
Offense could use a lot of our pieces we have in house

Neal Brown,Tony Elliott and Jeff Tedford

And Brent Key bad mouthed GT as an institute in negative recruiting. Not the scheme (well maybe / probably that too) but the INSTITUTE. And now some want to hire this guy when his own words will be used against him?

Hell No

Forgive my skepticism, but this is based on merely an internet rumor, correct? I have never seen any source for it. Why would we convict a possible coach based on such flimsy evidence? (II have no axe to grind one way or another about Key)

Writers are saying the same things people here are .

(Jason Kirk is more of a smart-alek, but still...) The attached article just has a paragraph on GT.

I'm sure even if we don't engage a search firm, we'll have an internal search committee involved in the hiring process. We always do, and maybe it's already forming or formed (total guess on my part).

Tedford has the qualifications but he doesn’t have any roots in the southeast. I think this is important for recruiting.

Coach Satterfield may be heading to Loserville and hiring Tony Elliott wouldn't be boring

Is Elliot's offense "his offense" or did he just continue what Morris started?

 

[tech_wreck47]

The thing about Elliot is this imo, although he doesn’t have head coaching experience he has learned under one of the top programs in college football. He has seen how to build a program, and although GT is very different than Clemson, there should still be things he can use that he learned under Dabo. That in itself intrigues me, just look at some of the top coaches and how well their coaching tree is doing. Those under CPJ, under Saban ect. Of course he could not work out, but add that in with him being a high academic guy and running an offense that would not be a major transition I’m willing to gamble on him. My other choices would be Satterfield, then Collins, Brown, and Heupel (who I haven’t seen mentioned anywhere) and in that order.

If he coaches it well who cares...............................................just sayin'

 

[smokey_wasp]

My gut feeling is this is going to come down to Elliott and Collins, but I dunno who gets the nod. I dont know why, but I just feel it. Lol

From walk-on to team captain. The more I read about Elliott, the more I like.

He literally embodies what GT is imo (from what I’ve read). Defied the odds, engineering degree with a high GPA ect. Just seems like a good fit, if he has a plan for what he wants to see at GT and sticks to it.

Agreed, but maybe because they are the two guys i want the most lol

Charlotte AD Mike Hill has recinded the head coaching offer to James Madison head coach Mike Houston

 

[Milwaukee]

Houston is on Shark Tank asking the other sharks if they would like to make a better offer. He's not wrong for doing it, though.

He better hope Mr. Wonderful doesn’t respond. He may give him the old “You’re dead to me.” [emoji23]
