Sorry, this hire will be embraced by the fanbase and boosters.

I don't know if that is anything to brag about given the last two disasters that bunch "embraced".

aTm donors go scorched earth against Stoops to pick Elko? I mean they are equal at best. If admin wanted Stoops they should have apparently pretended to want Elko first so the donors could expectedly push them into Stoops.

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.

54th in total O.

Way too many second half failures where the defense adjusted at halftime.

Durkin was the better coordinator.

You're just mad that you guys are still stuck with Stoops. Lol! All my UK friends were ecstatic at the thought of him being gone.

After paying Jimbo $75 million to leave. It's becoming quite clear to me why they are in a perpetual state of mediocrity.

Sorry your coach wanted to leave.

Until he didn't.
Then aggie had to save face, because a UK coach turning your school down is not a good look

Totally.

Honestly, this is a good hire. It makes sense and likely won't have A&M on the hook for an enormous contract. Good on them. I was hoping for someone far worse.

You go on lying to yourself. You’re paying a mediocre coach 9 M a year and aren’t doing anything about it. We’re trying to figure out how to win more than 8 games a year.

5th choice. Day, Swinney, Kiffin rejected them and the fans rejected Stoops

Not really. Jimbo was already starting to trend downward at FSU. He was never a homerun hire in my mind.
