re: MIKE ELKO NAMED AS THE 30TH TEXAS AGGIE COACH | tAggyArk™ OC and AD Search Thread

I don't want him. We shouldn't even entertain the idea

ND treats Freeman like an iterim coach. He had Ludwig hired, and the ND admin balked at the buyout. He hasn't had much support from ND, kind of like Kelly complained about.

Freeman is a stud coach, and we would be lucky to get him. Supposedly he reached out to us.

What exactly is it that you hate about Traylor so much?

Where did Looch shoot that down?

I’d rather have kept Jimbo another year and seen what “the greatest recruiting class of all time” could’ve done under him as upperclassmen vs hiring Traylor.

There isn’t a slam dunk name out there right now and that’s fine, but this guy was on Charlie Strongs’s abysmal staff, Aggie Chad’s absymal staff, and other than that just high school and G5 experience. He has a decent record at UTSA with a 6th year QB. Seems like Tom Herman 2.0.

Apparently he was very negative towards A&M while on the longhorn staff and I think that’s why a lot of people don’t like him. And similar to Herman has burned a lot of bridges with Texas high school coaches and isn’t well liked in several circles. I couldn’t care less about all of that, if he’s a winner, bring him on, but I don’t think he’s the guy that will win us championships.

Well at least he should be cheap to fire in 3-4 years if he's really that bad.

I've only watched a few of UTSA's games over the years and they really haven't impressed in most of them. Getting their asses handed to them by Army this year was an awful game that comes to mind. I know some people will excuse it b/c his QB was out but they didn't lose b/c their offense stunk. It was b/c they flat out could not stop Army from gaining 4 yards every play.

After looking at his 4 years at UTSA I'm not even sure what his marquee win at UTSA would be. 9-5 WKU, 9-4 UAB, 6-6 Memphis, or 5-7 Illinois in 2021? 9-5 WKU in '22? 6-4 Texas State in '23? His resume is extremely thin.

This sounds like he's buddies w/a big donor b/c I don't really see where the hype for him would be coming from.

If it’s Traylor we should go Tennessee couch burning, Greg Schiano, nuclear as a fan base and force the decision makers back to the negotiating table. We will be firing his arse 18 months later after he craters the program like Arkansas and Chad Morris. Being at UTSA he might as well still be a HS coach. As far as I’m concerned he doesn’t have a relevant track record to prepare him for being in charge of an SEC program.

The poster calling it apparently has a pretty good track record of being right on coaching hires. He called both Jimbo in September of 2017 and was all in on Buzz early on too.

I have no idea why we'd even fire Jimbo early if Traylor is the guy. There was very little chance he be snapped up before the season was over.

We’re not hiring Traylor. And that same poster said we were promoting Petrino just a few days ago. And the Jimbo hire was known to be brewing by A LOT of people mid-November 2017. Woodward and he had already been in talks for a month and the big donors had already been notified.

I’m gonna take a shot in the dark and guess that it’s rbjork@athletics.tamu.edu
