its not so much just one game, its quite possible the worst D1 QB performance of all time. I totally understand questioning things after that, but Im ride or die elko.HeyAbbott said:
We have a bunch of whiners on TA that will complain about anything whether we win or lose. It is just 1 game into Coach Elko's tenure at A&M so let's see how things play out the rest of this season.
Calling it a tenure is laughable, you said?HeyAbbott said:

Agree completely, and we're well on our way to year 85 of mediocrity !AggieDruggist89 said:
I was never on board with the Elko hire. It's ok.
Ultimately it's on Elko for setting up CW for the failure. CW failed miserably and Elko failed to make necessary adjustments. And if Klein failed to manage our offense, this also falls on Elko too. It's about the accountability.
Let's see how Elko manages our program in 2024. My guess is he'll be mediocre at best by losing all the games we will lose and beat up on small programs we are suppose to. And I don't believe that what we want.

I don't know about turning on Elko, but a lot of the general overreaction is due to us losing and the horns dominating.
Too many Ags base their sense of identity on the Ags comparative relationship with the horns. It's a primary reason I was so happy to be separated from them for 12 years. And so pissed at the SEC now.

I was ecstatic about the Elko hire, I thought it was a homerun at the time
Currently though, a Complete lack of urgency combined w a continuation of previous regime's "everything is fine" attitude is whats frustrating for me
Maybe he's playing his plans for change close to the vest, but I doubt it
Isn't Elko supposed to be an Ivy league smart brilliant coach who can do challenging tasks? Or should we just hide behind "but oh it's so hard to do" and lose?Off_The_Wood said:Kraft Punk said:

What the **** are you talking about?
"Lack of urgency?" "Everything is fine?" Did we watch the same game? Elko looked furious in the closing minutes of that game. It's insane to try to draw these types of conclusions after one game.
The team spent all summer creating a game plan for ND that involved CW. It's really really challenging to switch out QB's in the first half of the first game of a season. Give the staff a few games to settle in and make adjustments before deciding that they don't care.
My frustration is not about the whorns, it's about the inability to move the ball down the field for what seems like a decade.hbkyle said:

Had the horns lost, people would still be pissed about our loss.hbkyle said:

We have been patient since 1939 and 1998 respectively. This is such a stupid argument.Jack Boyett said:
Losing game #1 to a top ten team is not a reason to panic. It's more a sign of the culture we live. No patience at all and people are getting more and more stupid.
What does ND have that we don't?Jack Boyett said:

You can probably argue that he actually did do this, and our defense (and OL) are both better for it, after the exodus of players from the previous season.AggieDruggist89 said:
Onus is on the coach to use the NIL and raid the portal to flip the team around now.
You are correct.AggieDruggist89 said:
Opinion only.
Luke warm hire. And now with the portal and NIL, the expectation isn't 3 years to recruit and build his guys. Onus is on the coach to use the NIL and raid the portal to flip the team around now.
