Do me a favor and please see if you can answer a question without all the name calling etc.. I have two daughters currently going to A&M and they are fans of the football team so please give it a rest. Your attacking their fans does not impress me. All that said, you claim A&M fans chimed in on the Mark Stoops decision because he wasn't a 'hype choice'. Could you please explain to all of us how Mike Elko is a 'hype choice'. In case you have not heard, the A&M fans are good with Mike Elko. By the way, Elko did his job at A&M much better than Jimbo did.
Duke. It's still Duke so hard to tell if he can handle the SEC heat especially when Texas and Oklahoma join next season. He goes from a cupcake conference to the big leagues.
Cool. Good for them. Stoops is in a better place anyway. Also, this is less about the "hype" around Elko and more about the idiots rejecting the same thing, but with a decade more experience, in Stoops. Again, hope it's a flaming failure and the idiots get what they deserve. Oh, and you're daughters aren't the kind of Texas cranks I'm talking about here.
Nope. Neither is spitting in refs' faces from out of control rage. And then angry about getting penalties. I was always worried he was going to punch a ref or player or coach during a game.
Context bro. Guess it escapes you. Everyone was lauding his "intensity" and pointing to that play as an example of it in the days and weeks after the hire. Pretty sad that I had to clear that up for you.
I really don't understand what all the anger is about. You are the one that said the A&M fans did not like Stoops because he was not a 'hype' hire. Then they hire Elko who is also not a 'hype' hire but the fans liked that hire. I know you will never admit this but you were wrong about the reason the fans did not like Stoops. You also might want to go back and read what I wrote, I explained to you exactly why the fans like Elko more than Stoops and it has nothing to do with your 'hype' hire theory. Please take a breath, reread and if you can come up with something new please feel free to reply. If you are just going to spew more of your anger over whom Texas A&M hired please spare us and maybe go to their board and be angry with them. Pretty certain most of us on this Gator board don't care you are so emotional over whom A&M hired.
That's right. I forgot. Because he was their DC in the first year under the coach they just fired and payed 75M to go away. Yeah, totally get it. Awesome reasoning. In fact, the exact kind of reasoning I expect from you fans. Thanks for clearing that up. And he's a "hype hire" in the exact same way BN was when we hired him. And, again, Stoops is in a much better place and this guy will be run off in 3 years, maybe sooner. And you are the ones dragging this on. I've made myself crystal clear on this point and have done so several times.
The only thing that is crystal clear is you don't know how to take 5 seconds to use google to check on something before you post. Seriously, do just a quick search so you don't post uninformed things like Stoops was rejected because he wasn't a 'hype hire' when the guy they ended up with is less 'hype' than Stoops. Not sure where you came up with the ridiculous claim that Elko was the DC for one year under Fisher. He was the DC for four years under Fisher and after he left a couple seasons ago things went to crap. He did a great job when he was at A&M and the fans know it. He also did a great job where he was for the two years he went away from A&M and the fans know it. My suggestion would be since you have been wrong on everything you have posted on this thread and you refuse to do a moment of research that perhaps you stop posting in this thread since the only thing you seem capable of adding to the thread is your anger over a school you have no reported connection to making a coaching hire you clearly don't understand and you seem to not want to bother finding anything out about.
Nah. I just want to read more of your defense of Elko. It's fun. And, again, you choose to ignore my original point to keep going on about Elko. But who cares. Doesn't change a thing. They're still entitled hacks. He'll still be run in 3 years. And I'll still be enjoying the hell out of it. Hook Em!
