Tennessee Vols: “Under The Radar” Coaches That Could Replace Butch Jones
By Zach Ragan
Tony Elliot
Offensive coordinator at Clemson
I’m of the opinion that it’s probably too soon to consider Tony Elliot as a head coach in the SEC. He’s probably worthy of being a head coach, but given his lack of experience, he needs to cut his teeth somewhere else first.
But with that said, any coordinator that’s part of a national championship team has to be considered.
Elliot, along with the aforementioned Brent Venables, has helped turn Clemson into a power house. We’ve seen plenty of great coaches spawn from similar situations.
I don’t think Elliot will get a lot of serious consideration for a SEC job, but if Tennessee ends up going pretty far down the list, he’s someone that should probably get a call.
