Clemson Offensive Coordinator Tony Elliott Will Not Coach in Sugar Bowl Due to COVID-19 Protocols

Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott will not be available to coach on Friday due to COVID-19 protocols, the school announced Wednesday.

Elliott did not travel with the team to New Orleans on Wednesday afternoon. Clemson (10-1) is preparing to play Ohio State (6-0) in the 2021 Allstate Sugar Bowl.

Elliott has coached under Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney for nine seasons. He was initially brought in as the team's running backs coach in 2011. Elliott won the 2017 Broyles Award for his outstanding work as Clemson’s co-offensive coordinator.

The Tigers are 80-6 during Elliott's time calling the offense.
