re: A&M to hire Mike Elko

There is nobody A&M could’ve hired that this board wouldn’t have laughed at minus unrealistic candidates like Smart or Saban. You hire Lanning or Kiffin and they are laughing at the money you paid. You hire Elko and they laugh because he isn’t a splash.

It’s a good hire and the obvious hire from the start. We’ll see how it plays out because most coaching searches are a crapshoot.
