On 19 February 2006, it was announced that Elliott would coach the Penrith Panthers from 2007 onwards, having signed a three-year deal.
Elliott succeeded John Lang in this position.
In September 2008, Elliott was criticised for Penrith's consistent poor showings and it was speculated that he would be prematurely sacked before he saw through his three-year contract with the club.

After a promising start to the 2009 season, Elliott's contract was extended to the end of the 2011 season.
In the 2010 season, the Panthers finished second in the ladder, but they did not win a match in the finals series.
Their 645 was the most points scored in the regular season, the second highest being 559.
