I wouldn't say its hate. Like I don't dislike A&M or their posters (except that dude that tried to call Stoops a wife beater, he should seek out a mental health professional.)

The idea that A&M is too good for Mark Stoops though is just funny. Two teams, same trophy case. Then the inconsistency of trashing Stoops for not winning more at Kentucky but pimping Elko for "doing it at a basketball school"

In the end they went with Elko beause he's okay with milk men and a logical argument that he can recruit Texas better is reasonable. Although I would hope anyone with the Texas A&M Job and resources could recruit Texas.

A&M was on the cusp of a playoff berth (fully deserved it, but ESPN threw support behind media darlings ND and Ohio State instead) with Elko at DC. Once Elko left town, Jimbo cratered. All evidence points to Elko being the real source of Jimbo's early success at A&M. And we already know he can navigate our recruiting situation.

The only question left was whether that ability as DC would translate to HC ability. And in two years at Duke, he tripled their win total of the two years prior to his arrival. So IMO, that question is now answered.
