Report: Tony Elliott Reaches Agreement With Virginia to Become New Coach

Clemson offensive coordinator Tony Elliott has reached an agreement to become the new coach at Virginia, according to multiple reports. Minutes after Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports reported that the two sides were finalizing a deal, ESPN's Chris Low confirmed that he has agreed to head to take over the UVA program.

Elliott and Virginia have been connected throughout the week. The Clemson coach also reportedly received interest from Duke.

Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde reported on the interest between the two sides on Wednesday. On Thursday, SI's Richard Johnson said that the two sides had "hit a snag in negotiations," but it appears that those issues have been resolved, and Elliott is slated to be the next coach of the Cavaliers.
