Look Hoos Talking
What started out as a story pitch about why Tony Elliott was waiting on the right head coaching job turned into a story about why it seemed destined for him to do just that. On Elliott, his place at Virginia and why he is the right fit at the right time https://t.co/p719qSnbUQ

Check out this in-depth profile piece from Andrea Adelson on @UVAFootball head coach Tony Elliott. She actually started working on the story last summer when he was still at Clemson and then followed him to Virginia, which of course changed its center, but not its subject. You should also check out her Twitter thread about taking the Groundskeepers Walk when she was here in the spring. Click here to read the full thread.
When I sat down to write, I thought about that walk – and then I thought about what both Tony Elliott and AD Carla Williams truly represent. A school built by slaves, with a Black AD and Black football coach, in a sport working hard to diversify its coaching ranks.
