Former Wake Forest Assistant Tommy Elrod Provided Game Plan to Opponents

Former Wake Forest Demon Deacons assistant coach Tommy Elrod was fired from his post as one of the team's radio broadcasters on Tuesday after a school-led investigation revealed that he attempted to provide information regarding the team's game plan to opponents.

"Based on emails, text messages and phone records, Tommy Elrod, a radio announcer for Wake Forest football games, provided or attempted to provide confidential and proprietary game preparations on multiple occasions, starting in 2014," the school said in a press release, according to SB Nation's Blogger So Dear.

Elrod served as an assistant coach for the Wake Forest football team for 11 seasons under former boss Jim Grobe, but he did not return after Dave Clawson took over as head coach in 2014.
