He said there were no magic words or historic speeches.

“My job is to be calm and collected when they're frantic. My job is to create intensity when they're not intense. My job is to always be opposite the moment, not to let the moment take me away.”

Thank you, football gods for giving us a blue collar, no-nonsense, eyes forward coach.

We’ve needed this guy for a very long time.

And to destroy chairs because the football team enjoys it. Seen several videos. The amount of pauses on the Pulse when they are editing F-words is impressive.

plus,
he seems to be the type of guy that will NEVER fully divulge what he is saying to his team.

And I'm okay with that too.

Y’all are a “leaked” Texas pregame speech away. Soon as we heard what Kirby really thought about Florida, we ascended the mountain.

Elko is what A&M has needed from a coaching perspective since the days of RC Slocum.

To what? To being grateful for a coach who isn’t interested in “swag copters” or gajillion dollar contracts?

I’m not following you. If you’re insinuating that he hasn’t won anything yet, we get that. But he’s blocked out a ton of noise that others before him weren’t able to do. The results, so far, aren’t shabby.

The comment I liked in that segment was how he basically dismissed the question and said that the team won that game last Summer during workouts and not because of any rah rah he could tell them in the locker room.

I know may be too much to ask…

But why don’t you just focus on holding yourself and your fellow horn fans to all the bullshite you have spewed for the past year.
