While the results haven’t been there for Georgia Tech to this point in the Geoff Collins era, Tony Elliott has respect for the job Collins and his coaching staff have done in Atlanta. After studying the Yellow Jackets a little closer heading into this week’s game, Elliott said he believes they’re making some progress in what they’re trying to do.
But Elliott isn’t envious of them.
Elliott has been an offensive assistant on Dabo Swinney’s staff for a decade, the last seven years spent calling plays as the Tigers’ co-offensive coordinator or offensive coordinator. While he’s added his own flavor, Elliott has been dialing up plays for and recruiting to the same spread offense Clemson has had in place going back to Chad Morris’ days as a play-caller.
