Elliott shouldn't be a top 3 candidate as I believe HC experience is crucial for us. But if Danny White does go that route, the comparisons to Pruitt need to stop after two.
1. He's a coordinator.
2. He's been surrounded by a lot of talent.
Fair comparisons completely. But the good news is, completely different personality types, will model himself after the Clemson model and not try to be Nick Saban 2.0. The Clemson Model will work for us if Elliott surrounds himself with a great staff and allows them to do their job. It's not a horrible hire, I think it could work out. But it's a gamble still, being a HC can overwhelm people quickly.
