re: New staff under Elko

There's been talk on other boards that he was under contract to stay with Florida through early signing day and that's why it took until now. Some credence to that as we did get a few surprise commitments yesterday from a couple of Florida players we initially werent leading for.

I think the only strikeout was the FSU DC, its not like Elko has been turned down by 5+ guys and this was the best we could do in a scramble.

There's actually a really good post over on texags right now thats calling out all the complaining over any of our recent hires. Look at our last staff (really 2 staffs), we went out and got big names and where did that get us? Remember stealing "the chief" from LSU? Every Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, Kirby Smart, etc. starts from somewhere. Give the hires a chance. Seems like the pessimistic crowd has written the guy off less than one day into the job.
