Elko's salary will be bumped to $2.5 - $3MM is what insiders are saying

Easily one of the best DCs in the country. We are trying to hold on to him until a large program comes to make him an HC.

Y’all sure do overpay for just solid results.

A&M Defensive Rankings
2020 - 9
2019 - 29
2018 - 32 -> Mike Elko
2017 - 78
2016 - 90
2015 - 51 -> John Chavis
2014 - 102
2013 - 109
I mean, it's pretty easy to see that Elko is a HUGE upgrade from what we've had in the past. I expect our defense to be top 10 again this year, especially returning everyone. You can't argue with that side of the balls results.

He's turned down several HC opportunities already. He's gunna be our Brent V.

I'd love that but I'd bet he takes the Kirby Smart approach.

He definitely has been an upgrade but I think a bigger difference has been not having a flag football offense leave the D out on the field for 40 minutes a game.

The buyout on this is going to be terrible when he starts to flop.

True, a flag football offense does no DC any favors…. But we still like Elko a lot.

It's insane what coaches are being paid these days.

Maybe, but he's never had a defense outside the top 50 in his entire tenure as a DC in the P5. From wake forest, to notre dame, to A&M.

At least Elko is worth the money.
Posted on 9/1/21 at 7:46 am to agrunner
Cant even bash A&M here, Elko is legit
Posted on 9/1/21 at 7:49 am to agrunner
Do what ya gotta do...ain't my money.

Even when he starts to flop A&M will still get that W over Arky.

I meant all of them, when Fisher is fired. aTm will have to buy them all out.

Elko has been a vast improvement, but let’s not pretend he’s not downstream of a seismic improvement in defensive recruiting, particularly on the DL.
A&M didn’t field a legit defense until Jimbo got to town.
