It cannot be overstated how big the leap is from being an assistant coach to being a head coach. I just can’t see Tennessee taking another leap of faith on a promising assistant unless (and this is the key) they already have lined up someone with head coaching experience to join the staff in some capacity. The odds are probably better to be struck by lightning, than an assistant coach that has no one on their staff with significant head coaching experience, being successful at a P5 program.

That said, no one will take the Tennessee job if they are being told who/what they have to hire as assistants. So when you combine these two thoughts what does it add up to? We are not hiring a guy with no head coaching experience. Period.

Something to read in your spare time

Without further ado, let me put some of these questions and fears to rest: Tony Elliott calls all plays for the Clemson offense. How do I know that? When the two were announced as co-coordinators, Dabo, Scott, and Elliott all said as much in very plain language. On Sunday, Dec. 7th, just days after making the announcement that Scott and Elliott would be co-coordinators, Dabo announced that Tony Elliott would be calling plays. A few days later, in a joint press conference, Elliott discussed how he plans on calling the plays and managing the game. Scott went on to joke that he proposed they divide the play calling duties so that he could call first and second downs and Elliott could call third and fourth downs, but ends by saying that, "We figured this [Tony calling plays] was probably the best way." Tony Elliott was announced as the play caller almost immediately by Dabo. Tony and Jeff have both, consistently, confirmed that Elliott is the one calling the plays. There has been nothing said by anyone directly associated with Clemson to the contrary, so we have every reason to believe that Tony Elliott is the one calling plays for the Clemson Tiger offense.
