I'm sure Bjork and Jimbo are already working on replacement.

All the best to him at Duke.

1. How will this effect recruiting?
2. Who is our main target?

Seems strange that Elko would leave for a basketball school that will never prioritize football and will never care nor devote enough resources to compete.

I don't care what anyone says. That is the most selfish decision I've seen in a long time. The school that you work for is about to sign the number 1 recruiting class, is knocking on the door for a national championship. You are a DC. And you leave to go be a Head Coach at a basketball school? Like wtf. And you already are heavily compensated for 3 mil a year

There isn't glory at Duke, he could win a title here and go be a head coach somewhere better. That's ego to me

Lol

Sounds like you are selfish as well.

Duke??? Good luck dude. Should have stayed a few more years and then bolt for a decent program. Tank at Duke (probable) and good luck getting another HC job.

I'm confused- is it selfish to leave, or is it ok for him to leave?

Jimbo has never had a problem replacing coaches, Elko was great while he was here but I fully expect the next DC to be just as great or better.

I and probably most reasonable people expected him to leave. The only question was the timing. Now's probably a good time for him, given that next year's defense will be less experienced.

Yup. Remember his bend but don't break style allowed Ole Piss and State to just march up and down at will. Im ready for a more aggressive approach.

Calling him selfish for making a career move he wants to make is the definition of not only selfish but stupid. The guy has a chance to be a head coach and people here want to insult him for what he wants to do.

I think it is not a coincidence that he was not in the pics for recent in-home visits. Jimbo and position coaches.

Any decent QB we faced this year torched us.

Good for him. I wish him all the best!

Now, let's go find the best replacement possible.

I'm guessing Robinson is Co-DC with whoever we hire as replacement. No clue who will actually call plays.

It's a head coaching position.

You don't really understand?

I mean if two private schools known for other sports can play in the ACC title game this year, I figure he feels like Duke is a good position while they start to lose their basketball icon status… coach Ks last year and all.
