Yeah, it's sounding like Elliott is the new coach here. And it's sounding like the process was less than smooth. UVA interviewed Elliott last week, moved on to Poindexter, semi announce Poindexter is the new coach, then rumors the interviewing process didn't go well, then he announces he's staying at PSU, then bring Elliott back and hire him. And why would Elliott be interviewing at Duke, the worst job in the ACC after 2 seasons as Clemson's OC? Seems to me the rumors that he was not on safe ground at Clemson might have had some legs. I mean, it's still better than sticking with an in house hire from Bronco's staff. But it's definitely less than ideal. And it sounds like UVA pissed Poindexter off in the process. And Jerry Ratcliffe, who is much more of a UVA homer than Doughty is for VT, has been somewhat critical today, and the folks at theSabre are pissed at him. Seems like some of theSabre posters believe he was the #1 choice all along, but if that's the case, why did they not hire him last week? I guess we'll get a better idea when we see how well he salvages this year's recruiting class and see who he brings in from the transfer portal.
Jeff Scott was the real brains at Clemson as OC. He ended up with the damn USF HC job this year. If he had only waited a year.
