Mike Elko

Looks to be getting hired by Tx A&M. Excellent hire for them. He will be tough on game 1. That game just got more difficult

Maybe this opens the door for Riley Leonard to ND. Thats one of the few I would want if in portal.

Could ve the ripple effect

Big time with their talented roster

Interesting, I heard A&M was preparing to offer Kirby Smart between 15-20 million per season.

Texas A&M has NFL players on that roster that they paid for and even with suspect coaching, the Aggies fielded a top 15- 20 type defense. Imagine what they can do if they continue to get that type of talent with someone like Elko coaching.

Elko isn't that great. He was 7-5 this year at Duke. 16-9 overall. I thought the Aggies had deeper coffers than this.

What lol. He turned that program around in a year and was top 15 before his qb got hurt

He a hell of a coach

Relative to the top echelon of the SEC where TAM competes, the roster isn't overly talented IMO.

Bet there were similar accolades when Jimbo was hired! 🤣

OK.

TAM plays in the SEC.

TAM will always struggle in the SEC.

It's tough for everyone.

You said they weren't overly talented. They are very talented. That was/is not the problem there

Relative to the SEC, they aren't. Just another team.

That is not true. They are the 3rd most talented team in that conference right now

Relative to Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Mississippi, and Tennessee, saying TAM is the third most talented team in the SEC is highly debatable.

It is. But that's where they are on the team composite rankings. Not the end all be all. But they are the number 4 team in the country in terms of talent.

Talent is not an issue down there

You forget that ND hurt their stud QB? That is why they lost after ND. They are a 10 win team with that QB

No, they are Uber talented. Last 4 cycles were Top 8 with 2022 at #1. Other than Bama, LSU, and UGA, they have the most 5 stars in the SEC

Only 7-5? Do you see who’s on that roster? There’s no way they should have a defense that is as good as it is, i.e., top 25–top 30, with those players; now imagine him with NFL talent like Texas A&M has and/or can get with money.

As much as I like freeman and am hopeful for his success. I think we really missed out on a great one with Elko
