Elliott was named the South Carolina interim coach last season with Steve Spurrier suddenly retired. The Gamecocks went 1-5 under Elliott, which totaled to a 3-9 record for the 2015 season. Elliott went back to coaching the offensive line this season under new head coach Will Muschamp.
Georgia State fired head coach Trent Miles after a loss in Week 11 of the season dropped them to a 2-8 record. Elliott will be Georgia State's third coach in the football program's eight-year history.
