Elliott, who was most recently at Nebraska, had fought cancer for the better part of the last two decades, all while doing what he loved.
For a very nice recap of Elliott’s life and career as a coach, take a look at this link courtesy of our friends at the Des Moines Register.
On behalf of the Cyclone Nation, rest in peace, coach.
