Elliott raise shows continued investment in football by Clemson

Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott has one of the hottest names in the coaching business, and opportunities to take over his own program have started to roll in. For now, however, head coach Dabo Swinney and athletic director Dan Radakovich wanted to make sure Elliott stays home.

Elliott will now make $2 million per year after receiving a contract extension and raise Thursday, giving the Tigers two of the three highest-paid assistants in the country.

The Clemson board of trustees approved the three-year extension through Jan. 31, 2026, and a $300,000 raise for Elliott, which will go into effect July 1.
