Looking like Mike Elmo [Elko] to Texas A&M

[WanderFranco]

I never seen a guy bend a narrative and move goal posts in such an outlandish manner in my life. Delusions at an all time high

Who moved goalposts? Your twin is the one who misquoted me.

 

[skydogcane6]

You think Johns goes with him to A&M?

If he’s not + not elevated internally to HC at Duke, there’s Dawson’s replacement (if he leaves).

Lot of hypotheticals obviously.

Would love Johns down here if he wanted to hop on board.

 

[Mario Montana]

Can someone please explain how Elko is an upgrade over Jumbo for aTm.

I’m not seeing it at this point.

He's nowhere near an upgrade but this board is full of clowns that think every hire but Mario Cristobal is an excellent hire

 

[MedleyCane]

Not sure if I remember correctly..but does he have like background issues or something controversial? I thought there was some issues with him.
He is a boss of a coach though

Not that I'm aware of...

 

[Dghustla]

So Mark Stoops is trash but Elko is a great
Hire…OnlyCIS

 

[ddann]

So…is this gonna end up working out as well as that time the Tennessee boosters nixed the Schiano hire and brought in Jeremy Pruitt instead?

 

[Atom Atlas]

 

[TheEye]

Duke to hire Mario Cristobal.

Man. He would kill it there. Imagine Duke with talent.

 

[Rellyrell]

I'm sure you're praying this hire "could be a problem" bc youre ready for Kiffin to be the HC at Miami right?

Woooof, what a horrible take by a dead man.

 

[252cane]

They will be hiring another coach in 3 years

 

[Canezum5]

Duke to hire Mario Cristobal.














Just kidding…. Take a knee and relax.

@WanderFranco said 1 or 2 knees, fam?

 

[Lazarre]

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like the same type of hire but Stoops would have more experience as a head coach and playing in the SEC.

 

[westcoastcanes]

Take a knee and relax.

That is not in our play book.

 

[atlcane72]

The beginning of the end of the 10 year contract. Started and ended with Jimbo

 

[FL Cane]

I love Weigman

Landing Weigman would be a home run portal hit. Kid is really good. We’re 10-2/11-1 if he was our QB this year.

 

[RVACane]

I’m not sure how you come down to M Stoops and Elko and pick Stoops first.

Outside of Saban and Kirby…the SEC is dominated with offensive minded head coaches so it will be interesting how this plays out.

Probably why @JustAFanHTX mentioned that the AD at aTm might not make it.

Dude ****ed off the $$$ guys there pulling that Stoops stunt without them all or most being on board from what I’ve seen.

 

[CaneSinceForEver]

Can someone please explain how Elko is an upgrade over Jumbo for aTm.

It's not, it's a cheap hire for an off brand coach, Jimbo's buyout is an albatross around TAMU's neck...but listen to some of our fanZ tell it, TAMU prints money LOL.

 

[Tad Footeball]

To just play contrarian here and to only talk about Mike Elko the head coach, what is his signature win? Had essentially a cupcake ACC schedule last year and the world went nuts when he beat Clemson this year.....before we saw what Clemson actually is (kinda how we saw what TCU actually is). AND he did this with Riley Leonard. What was he without him? Same ol' Dook.

Of course this isn't a fair or complete way to assess a hire BUT it does make the hire anything but a sure thing.....and we're always led to believe that when certain schools (especially in a certain conference) need to get a head coach that they can get ANYBODY....yet they always seem to end up just making "normal" hires.

What was the biggest splash hire made in that conference over the last handful of years since let's say Cuckbo left Tally? I'd say it was Kiffin....and all you were doing was pulling him from a commuter school in Boca....and he'd seemingly leave now if any equal job opened up that wasn't located in a sh1thole part of the country.

 

[JohnnyYoung]

Similar hire to stoops but a better fit.

May be discussed already but just looking at it (the thread).

Guy is a builder and would need patience, though I think his methodology doesn’t necessarily handicap recruiting like Stoops’ would have for a TX HS demographic.

Ultimately, when push comes to shove no lie I like Mark Stoops. But for A&M that would be a disaster, Elko is a better fit.

Does 8&4 have the patience for anyone given their many masters? I think not.

Edit: Clarification : (the thread)

 

[DoctorKrazey]

Wonder if his QB follows him there instead of heading to an ACC school that is in the championship game

The rumor is that Riley Leonard is probably headed to Notre Dame.
