Tony Elliott Confirms Coaching Assignments for Tight Ends and Special Teams
When Tony Elliott first announced the official position assignments for his new Virginia football coaching staff, there were still a few question marks remaining, as there were no indications made as to who would be coaching tight ends and special teams for the Cavaliers.
In Monday's Zoom press conference, Elliott detailed his plans for those positions. Offensive coordinator Des Kitchings will coach tight ends, while running backs coach Keith Gaither will also serve as Virginia's special teams coordinator. Elliott added that he will be spending a lot of time helping out with special teams as well.
