I have heard the same. Schloss told the loser that he'd feel more at home if they could get together for some group sex, but that loser AD refused, so he went somewhere where the AD would prove his dedication, sexually.
Uhh, this is strange.

The Aggy AD ran off two of their most successful coaches ever (Buzz and Schloss). Sounds like a real jerk to work for.
Wouldnt be surprised if Elmo leaves because of him too.

Aggies pay Coaches top wages and Elko knows if he hangs around and does well he will definitely be in the top 5 for CFB Coach base pay, and even his current contract has some very good incentives.
Also Aggies are very slow about firing Coaches.
You do realize Franklin was making a lot more money than Elmo right??
Also, Aggy fired Jimbo after 6 years, Sumlin after 6 years, Franchione after 5 years, and Sherman after 4 years. The average tenure of an Aggy coach is 5.25 years going back to 2003. Franklin was fired after 12 years!!

Why the frick would he go to Penn St
Penn State could never muster the salary, facilities, fan support, or NIL money that Texas A&M can. The only reason that I can think of is to be closer to home; however, if his parents are still alive in Jersey, he has more than enough money to move them to College Station.
You do realize that Franklin had a much higher salary at PSU than Elko does at A&M right? They just paid him $50MM to go away, I dont think they are exactly broke. They can afford to hire any top tier coach just like A&M can.
PSU's average football game attendance: 108,379
A&M average football game attendance: 102,847
PSU also has the second largest living alumni base, Aggies dont even crack the top 5.

I personally think Elko should stay put. I don’t see A&M firing James Franklin if James Franklin came to A&M and did what he’s done at Penn State there. Maybe I’m wrong.
Franklin got 12 years to get it done at PSU, thats way more time than most coaches get. Even Aggy would have gotten restless. Heck, they even fired their winningest coach of all time RC Skocum after 14 years.
UF might have more money than Ole Miss, but they dont pay their coaches very well. I doubt UF is ready to make Kiffin one of the highest paid CFB coaches in the country based on their history of paying coaches.
Dan Mullen Salary at UF: $4.5MM plus an additional $1.75 million in media/PR income, and other compensations, including a $700,000 equipment-related income, and $350,000 from a Nike contract.
Annual Salary: His final annual salary was about $7,570,000.
Billy Napier Salary at UF: Annual Salary: His total compensation for 2025 is around $7.47 million, which includes his base salary and a prorated bonus.
Lane Kiffin Salary at Ole Miss: Base Salary: $9,000,000 for the 2025 season.
Potential Bonuses: Up to $2,600,000 in performance-based bonuses.

re: PSU boards and "insiders" listing BK and Elko as high level candidates.

Tell that last part to Aggy LOL.
Prior to Franklin getting fired, PSU had the #5 class for 2026, and the #1 class for 2027. Thats no longer the case after Frankling got fired, but they recruit just as well as anybody.

Meh. I think Elko will do fine. Aggie has a culture problem (as a horn I am sadly all too familiar with this issue). If he can fix that they will win lot of games
What about his previous experience makes you think he will do fine at Aggie? Averaged 8 wins at Duke, 1-4 against top 25 teams, lost to multiple garbage teams (5-7 Ga Tech, 6-7 Kansas, 3-9 UVA).
The guy brought all of his Duke buddies with him to Aggie. Does that remind you of anybody? (Herman).

Hey don’t forget about those 2* lunch pail transfers from Youngstown State, Troy, Old Dominion!! They dominated division II teams!!

The vaunted 2* Edge from Marshall, Elijah Alston, committed to Aggie yesterday, and today is back in the portal.
That’s the second 2* transfer decommit in the last week for Mr Elko!! ??????

No, do you people not understand how NFL talent evaluation works? Half of the players in the NFL are from G5 schools. You should run your system with the portal exactly like how the NFL evaluates draft talent and free agency. It should be done completely different from high school recruiting. With the portal it should be entirely based around production because a lot of these guys grew or developed later. The portal in turn allows them to get noticed prior to the NFL. You shouldn’t based the portal around unproven production. I think schools are finally beginning to realize this and the game is changing. A lot of the guys A&M took this year had offers to other big schools too. Further, you also now have to consider the money aspect. A G5 starter will be cheaper than a P5 starter and you’re not going to be able to break the bank every single year for P5 starters because even if you win the NC, money is not infinite and eventually you have to bring it back down to reality. Unless there are rule changes, talent evaluation will become the next big thing in college football when it comes to the portal. Moneyball is here.
A lot of words for basically saying Aggy can’t attract top 4-5*’s anymore, so they’re desperate and having to sign 2-3*’s now from Troy.
Good strategy Aggy!! Z????

Sark was 34-29 at Washington
He was 12-6 at USC.
He was 13-12 at Texas going into this season.
Sark was also fresh off of a natty at Bama, where he was one of the top coordinators in the country before he got the Texas job. That never happened to Elmo.

It’s quite impressive how diligent the staff is. How many transfers in are we up to now?
Edit: 247 is showing 17 total commitments right now
Very interesting stat:
2023 winning percentage of teams taking over 15 transfers: .429 (27-36)
2023 winning percentage of teams taking between 1-5 transfers: .652 (120-64)
Taking a high number of portal transfers is not strongly correlated to a healthy program.
Sorry Aggy!!

You think Elko is going to be worst or the same as Fisher? I don't think so. He is a sure upgrade over Fisher.
What makes you say this? He was 1-4 against top 25 teams at Duke, lost to 5-7 Ga Tech, 6-7 Kansas, and 3-9 UVA. Elko was 16-9 at Duke.
Dude was very mediocre at Duke.

I think Elko has the chance to be good.
There aren't many sure things at head coach these days, that's why I'm happy with BK.
What makes you think he has the chance to be good? He was 16-9 overall at Duke with losses to 5-7 Ga Tech, 6-7 Kansas, and 3-9 UVA. He was 1-4 against top 25 teams, 1-4 on the road in the ACC.
He might end up being good but his coaching record at Duke is pretty mediocre, his staff is pretty mediocre, the recruits hes bringing in are mediocre.
I dont think hes an upgrade at all over Jimbo other than hes cheaper.

Our best WR last year came from a small school. Walker was better than Evan Stewart and didn’t sit out games like a selfish arse. Some work out, and some do not. Our Heisman winning QB was a three star recruit.
The Purdue end we pulled out of the portal was ranked so low that Fisher didn’t give him a sniff. Denver Harris has the talent but not the will … Every kid is a different situation
Are you really saying you would rather have a bunch of 2-3 stars from smaller schools versus 4-5 stars? Theres always exceptions, but 4-5 stars are more likely to work out.

The answer is a balance. Like all things in life. Recruiting and coaching both matter
True, but wont win many games in the SEC with a bunch of 2-3 stars from Old Dominion, dont care how well coached they are.

The key to success in todays NIL is the portal. Not stacked classes of unproven 5 stars with little school allegiance. This model will be proven soon until they add the needed restrictions against unlimited portal transfers.
So the new strategy is to stack transfer classes full of out of state 2-3*'s from schools like Troy and Old Dominion with zero ties to aggy? Make it make sense Aggy!!!!
