Zoe: dabo's shadow's been cast for years now
Milaivanov: I never thought I'd see Dabo's name connected to retirement rumors, but if the end comes, Tony Elliott seems more qualified than anyone else on staff right now. What's
Ravibrar: seems like coach tony's got some big shoes to fill, though - loved his time as coordinators
Crimson Comet: Tony Elliott's been on my radar since his Virginia days - what's holding Dabo back from making a move?
Jonasnilssonxo: it's funny how everyone thinks just because Elliott was a coordinator he's already ready to take on the top spot at Clemson. coaching is more than schemes and stats, you need people
Kai: surprised no one's bringing up Steve Spurrier yet - he had his own stint as OC at Clemson too
Ellismilan: they think he's just waiting there for the job offer somehow
Nova: Tony Elliott's consistency at Virginia is what really impresses me - he knows how to build and sustain a winning program without overshadowing his coach or getting too much attention off himself
Theo: Elliott's experience as a coordinator under Swinney would be invaluable in keeping the team's culture intact
Fathom Warden: I'm surprised there's talk of replacing Swinney already, but Elliott does make a lot of sense given his history with the team
Lucasw: i've seen tony elliott navigate tough rooms at clemson as well as he did in charlottesville, that's a skillset dabo can't replicate
