Good on A&M for settling after their dream guy turned them down.

It's a phenomenal hire. I'd of course want Aranda but Elko ain't a bad 2nd option.


You mean third option?

Aggies said Pruitt was number 1 then they went after Aranda.

Except that he didn't. He was ready to take the A&M job until Aranda called and we put him on hold. When Aranda offered for 10 million guaranteed at LSU, it took Elko about 2 minutes to jump on board.



good lord. do A&M fans just prepare spin stories so they're covered regardless of how a coaching hire ends up? Aranda turned A&M down not once, but twice. Elko has turned down Notre Dame once already, we'll see if he turns down A&M for a second time as well. Desperation is not a good look for your AD

You're right, sorta. In the beginning..

Option 1: Pruitt
Option 2: Elko

Aranda wasn't an option until he showed interest, but I'll give you elko would be option 3 then.

Pruitt took a head coaching job.
Aranda took 10M guaranteed at LSU.
Elko was ecstatic to leave the ND DC job for a better position at A&M. Took him about 2 minutes to jump on board after we offered him.

He's a great hire!

Straight garbage. He's no dave aranda that's for sure. A&m is where defensive coordinators go to die.

Why is Elko a good hire? ND had the 46th ranked defense this year. Is his track record based off of his 1 good year at Wake Forest? I'm not trying to troll. I honestly don't get why he's a good hire. Educate me.

And yet you continually spew your unfounded and insane drivel. Can't you just be happy about the hire without referring to LSU in some capacity.

Aranda called aTm but then said "No, thanks"? You expect us to believe that tripe? You don't know shite.

All I’ve seen is “great hire” in some form or fashion. You’re trying too hard.
