A&M about to hire Elko.....

He has done a great job at Duke, so I can see a bigger program giving him a call.

 

Never know for sure, but if I'm an aTm fan, I like that hire.

 

I hope they give him a $100 million contract.

 

Might be off topic but I’m a big fan of how Oregon went from a joke with Christobal and turned it around pretty quick with Lanning. That team looks like a reflection of their current coach now. They feel like an SEC team.

 

I thought Stoop took the job?

 

Guaranteed.

 

Nope, somebody was early.

 

Sounds like the fan base was on the verge of burning the place down if they did so they backtracked.

 

I like his intensity. He’d be one to watch IMO. But I see Napier here another 2 seasons.

 

And, sadly, the Florida job is no longer an upgrade from Oregon. If they want to keep him, we couldn't hire him away.

 

Which one? Kentucky? Mississippi State, South Carolina, Tennessee, Florida, Vanderbilt, Texas A&M, Missouri, Mississippi, Auburn, Arkansas ?

 

Probably a better hire than Stoops.

 

I actually think the A&M fans may be a little disappointed. Not because Elko isn't a good coach or anything but because he is not a big name yet, and may think if they are gonna spend 70+million just to make the position open and available that they would reel in a big splashy name.

 

Duke has the same 7-5 record as Miami currently. 4-4 in the ACC

 

I guess if you put it that way- Alabama or Georgia

 

Miami's last 4 recruiting classes:
11, 16, 10, 7

Duke's:
62, 57, 51, 56

Elko's done a lot with less

 

Yeah just saying so far that looks like a success story of getting rid of trash and getting the right guy. Still too early to tell tho but looks good as of now.

 

I kinda like the guy, but its justbon potential because Looking at his HC resume a little closer I'm actually surprised. They must have the belief that he is the one because he is 16-9 in 2 seasons at Duke in the ACC has only beaten 1 ranked team and lost to all the others he's played. And lost 5 of the last 8 games of this season.

Again not all saying he's not good, just saying you don't often see big time hires, hires that will amount to more than a 100 million dollars when said and done coming off of a season like that. Good for him.
