Quasi-OT: there is a private flight scheduled from Clemson to Charlottesville this afternoon
It looks promising for Tony Elliott to UVA. Which is good: as a UVA fan I want it to be Elliott and as a Michigan fan I don't want it to be Gattis.

Wait... did no one get the joke here?
Either I'm losing my touch, or this board is now exclusively 13 year olds. I'll assume both.

Funny how as recently as early October (post-Rutgers week), a good portion of the readers of this blog would have been helping Gattis check his bags. Nice to see how things have changed.
Mostly unrelated: do they have an award for position groups coaches? Because Sherrone Moore, man.

Shhh! You are not supposed to mention that...

It’s crazy what winning does. Last year it was a fire sale this year it’s hold onto everything for as long as you can. WIN THE GAME

Gattis is gone regardless. Wish him luck, and we will be fine with Weiss, the unsung coach on the staff.
December 10th, 2021 at 1:02 PM ^
I hear Weiss getting buttloads of credit for everything from QB performance to overall offensive performance. Is there any evidence that he is partaking in all of these coaching duties?
December 10th, 2021 at 1:00 PM ^
So the "snag" of Elliot thinking the Virginia facilities are unsatisfactory has been worked out?
December 10th, 2021 at 1:06 PM ^
I'm not sure it ever really was a "snag" so to speak. But there was a vote this morning by the BOV to appropriate $10 million toward breaking ground on a new football ops center. This has been in the works a while, but I don't know if that vote specifically was retimed around hiring a new coach. My guess is that Elliott wanted to see the results of that vote before putting his name on anything. Fortunately, it was a unanimous vote.
December 10th, 2021 at 1:15 PM ^
Fortunately?
December 10th, 2021 at 1:27 PM ^
You'd prefer "unfortunately, the vote was unanimous"? I don't know what you're getting at there.
December 10th, 2021 at 1:36 PM ^
I'm sure Elliot will work out fine there
December 10th, 2021 at 1:57 PM ^
I'm hoping Joe Brady ends up here running the passing game, with Matt Weiss moved to OC.
I'm sure Harbaugh/Weiss would do just fibe with play calling against Georgia.

It’s only like a 6 hour drive. While not the most convenient trip in the world, if there was any intention of being discreet they could have just drove.
December 10th, 2021 at 1:35 PM ^
man - its crazy how things change in just a couple months.. literally within 10 days, everything flipped.
December 10th, 2021 at 2:09 PM ^
Sources: Tony Elliott is expected to be the next coach at Virginia. A deal should be finalized in the near future.
