A&M fans have to start looking towards a new coach unfortunately. Elko is done.

The real question is how will Lincoln Riley be able to turn it around for the Ags next year?

I support them getting Riley

What’s funny is I was told by aTm fans for months how proud they were of such a high caliber coach

How will Lincoln find a way to field an even worse defense at TAMU?

I’m uncertain what happened with Elko. He’s made mostly the right moves until extended. And then he just stopped trying

Elko is no Jimbo. He puts in the work. Just a couple of bad games. He will be fine.

I’d be surprised if he doesn’t turn things around if I’m being honest

He hasn’t put in the work since late last year. He defaulted on two very safe coordinators this offseason. He didn’t get a backup QB.

I think he just got complacent

Did it ever occur to you that he thought he had put a good foundation in and did not want to overthink his key hires? That he wanted continuity?

Everyone needs a good backup QB. That is on him.

He promoted a guy to OC that has never called plays. That has turned out to be a phenomenal mistake. And the DC? Not sure what he was thinking. Elko needs to go back to calling the defense himself until he can hire a decent DC.

If he even can.

Internal hire (I have no idea)? Then my point stands. External? Yeah, then that was a huge mistake. Where did the DC come from?

Aggies better take a number and get in line behind us because we are coach shopping first.

Heaven forbid they aim for a coach in the playoff.

I don’t think A&M wants Riley. I’m sure some billionaire with more money than football sense will make the decision

They cant do better and having to pay Jimbo 80 mil to go away is extremely embarrassing for their board. Elko might have the safest gig in the conference.

And I am beginning to believe Elko is definitely in hot water. The numerous fire Elko threads on TexAgs are still up this morning. And they are multiplying …
