A little surprised that there has been so much backlash towards these hires.
Lebby has coached under Art Briles, Josh Heupel, Lane Kiffin, and done a nice job at OU. He will score points at MSU and they will be exciting to watch. That style of football may help him in the portal, so I could see him doing a solid job there.
Elko has had success at A&M. He understands the dynamics of College Station. The high school coaches in the state love him, which can’t be understated. He won at Duke, and injuries kept this team from having more success. I think he could potentially be a home run hire.
To the critics I would ask who were these better candidates? Ryan Day? He ain’t leaving OSU. Chadwell? He seems to be content at Liberty. Matt Campbell? He’s plateaued at ISU.
Both schools did a great job. If they don’t have success it may have to do with playing in the best conference in college football.

A&M is running out of saviors. With Texas and Oklahoma entering the SEC, the high school coaches are going to have not as much pull as these schools are in the premier conference as well while offering better opportunities and NIL deals for in state blue chips.

I think that’s the reason for the backlash

Yeahhh Oklahoma fans are thrilled he’s leaving. What exactly makes him a good hire?

Either of the Kansas Schools or Fish would have been better, but suspect were too expensive. Smith also, but just too slow on the draw to beat Michigan State.
Surprised they did not have someone in the bag BEFORE they fired Jimbo.

Nick Saban won 6-7 games each year at Mich St from 1996-1998. Went 10-2 in 1999.
Maybe aTm is just getting Elko a year early.

He understands the dynamics of College Station.

What’s the deal with Mizzou’s HC? Just a good year or is he on the rise?

Name a coach that has ever done well at A&M.
