He's a good coach, but that's it. He won't take the team to the natty. Ever.

He's a coordinator, not a head coach

We need to evaluate QBs better and quit with the loyalty BS. Should have been in the portal for an actual starter level. You need two good QBs anyways but here we are.

A better option than Elko

I said this two weeks ago and got TORCHED for it.

But yeah, pretty obvious.

If that, maybe a high school coach.

No he wasn't. He proved he wasn't better.

He was a discount hire.

But we've tried all the other kinds of hires too. We just need to keep trying every three years until we get it right

I haven't seen anybody torched for thinking Elko is an okay but not great coach. He's…fine… and will get us to 7-9 wins a year. But he'll never win anything meaningful.

His players will continue to cash big NIL checks and never win anything meaningful either. And they're playing like they know that's the deal. Half the team didn't seem mentally switched on and ready to play.

Well yeah he was at least the 4th option and had to hire quick to save face after stoops hire.

90% of this board were pining for Elko towards the end of the Jimbo era.
Some of us tried to tell you.
I think the Stoops "hire" was ploy to make the Elko hire look better.

Good thing is he has a friendly contract to fire him in year 3

If we only paid for Mateer …would have mattered a ton.

I think several million dollars of roster upgrades per year would be making Elko look a lot smarter if we had just let Jimbo go and promoted Elko. Wouldn't have been Kirby smart but many of our issues stem from firing Jimbo "early."

this is a tough place to grade a coach.

whatever tier he's thought to be coming in you can pretty well count on a letter grade worse performance on the field.

I think it can be argued he's a B tier coordinator. He had one really good D when he was here under Jimbo. The other years were ok, but it's not like we were a top 5 D every year.

WE ARE THE PROBLEM.

How many head coaches do we have to go thru before you fools realize the problem is us - TAMU.

With rare exception the culture is soft, often times undisciplined. This does not change regardless of the head coach.

Whenever Elko does move on, I guarantee he will have a successful career elsewhere.

What fired HC from here actually increased their career elsewhere?

I do think the fan base is part of the problem. We want to be seen as being a nice fan base, who does things the right way. We don't need to be hanging coaches in effigy, but also we shouldn't shower praise on a coach after he beats a DII school.

This is a typical A&M team. It is not the heady days of Sherrill.
