When Dabo Swinney sat down with Dan Radakovich a couple of weeks ago following the conclusion of the 2019 football season, the Clemson football coach stressed how important it was to make Tony Elliott one of the highest paid assistant coaches in the country.
Since becoming the co-coordinator and the main play caller at the end of the 2014 season, Clemson has produced a 70-5 record and has consistently been ranked in the top 15 in both scoring and total offense. The last two years, the Tigers have ranked in the top 5, including 43.9 points and 528.
