Nobody is hiring anybody right now. There are a ton of openings and not one has been filled.

Nah, this is a good thing. We didn't want the PSU pressure to get too intense like it was about to. I'm very happy with this.


You are happy about it because it is not YOUR money.

Everyone here likes to play the rich guy with someone else's money. Typical socialism.

Elko was going to bail on the team before the playoffs? Or before the SEC championship game? Or before the tu game? Or was it going to be this morning that he was hoping on a private jet to state college?

Teams are absolutely hiring coaches right now. Agents and schools are in discussions. Kiffin likely already has a deal in place with Florida.

Surely, Elko will not pull a Jimbo and mail it in.


Insert BAS gif


I don't think Jimbo was mailing it in. I think if we hadn't taken him when we did he would have sunk into irrelevance at FSU. Jameis Winston was probably doing more for that team than everyone realized. Too complex and tabs at A&M were fragile.

Elko had Duke on an upward trajectory. He's turned us around, quickly. Could he just subconsciously toss the towel and cash the checks? Sure.

But these coaches careers take decades to get to this point. The years as a grad assistant, low level assistants, grinding out to become a position coach, many never even become coordinators... To have only (in terms of career length) still me a "new" has coach, the hunger should be there.

It's not about the money in the bank. It's what the money says about you, your work ethic, your character, your skill, discipline, potential, etc.

Succeed or fail, the money spends and passes on all the same. But it's got to sting when it's $70 million telling you you're a failure.

Elko was going to bail on the team before the playoffs? Of before the SEC championship game? Or before the tu game? Or was it going to be this morning that he was hoping on a private jet to state college?


He could absolutely come to terms with another school behind the scenes before the season ends. That's how these things work.

Is there anything that could go wrong or we could have done wrong with this? Or are you sunshine pumping to the max regardless of what could be true?

That's how it works. These things are wrapped up well before they are announced.

Of course it could go wrong but that's irrelevant. The market for coaches doesn't care if it can go right or wrong.

You have more buyers than sellers. That's reality.

That's all he does. Pull up his posts this season and it's just a bunch of BAS crying. Every game day thread crying and BAS.

Guys that have to the move goalpost just shows they have nothing of substance on the actual discussion.

Well, what's done is done. We are having a great season this year, after and OK one last year. Hopefully the momentum continues and we turn into a top 10 program for the next decade. Then this contract will look brilliant

No need to announce this right now. Let's actually let the regular season play out. Did you forget what happened last year? Hey I'm sure it will work out just fine this time for the Aggies.

There is this thing called recruiting you goof ball. And announcing now removes all distractions for the team.

Strike one for you.

Try again.

We didn't announce it. It was leaked and reported by an LSU insider

Idiot… what about this season has been anything like the last ones? Elko is who we need


Tell me you just started watching A&M football without telling me you just started watching A&M football.

If Elko wins a national championship, build him a statue give him 200 million, make him coach for life, and I won't even care if we never make the playoffs again. We are going on 90 years so if we win one I'm not going to be greedy for another one.

But it's been 70 years since a coach left A&M for another job, and two since we payed the last one 70 million not to work for us. And that was after paying all the previous coaches for the last 30 years not to coach for us after they flamed out


This. X eleventy billion

No need to try to be cheap. He's certainly looked like a top 5 coach this year. It's the buyout commitments that have bitten us in the ass previously. Hopefully we include some sort of obligation to offset.

I think this is great for the simple fact Mike Elko has brought discipline to the Aggie football team on and off the field. That right there is worth every penny!

You don't, but if you order from DoorDash or Uber Eats, you do. The market dictates it and if you don't, the driver will just steal your food.
