I think coach Elko is going to do big things here. Yes we fell off a cliff at the end of last season and there's still a tough stretch ahead this year but I really like what I'm seeing. Strong leadership, improving week to week, and effectively using the portal and NIL in the offseason (Craver and Concepcion). Change my mind.

Extend him now, it's a Tradition !!!!

I liked seeing him utterly irate and yelling "F*!!!" at someone on the sidelines with about 2 seconds left in an unlosable game.

Never stop getting mad at dumb ***** I like it.

Enjoy being 5 and 0. Elko has good things happening.

Don't anoint him just yet. I still can't shake last years Auburn game and how unprepared he had the team for a bad Auburn team.

Been an Aggie too long to not be pessimistic.

Just win.

does anybody have any insight on what was going on? I got a kick out of that…

I do like the way his contract is set up. He has has 6 years. And he can earn himself huge raises by winning the sec, making the playoffs, and winning playoff games. I think he also earns extensions for some things. No need to do anything. He will earn it, or he wont.

I think what we've seen from Elko is just a glimpse of how he is in the locker room. Dude must be one hell of a motivator and someone that will tear into their ass when they get off track.

Elko getting mad at end of this game reminded me of one of my favorite A&M football moments of all time which was also against Miss St. We were at their place and we missed a FG going into halftime and JFF chased down our kicker on the field running into the locker room and yelled "GD IT!!!!" Into his face for missing the FG. It was caught on TV.

Had that game on DVR for years afterward and would watch it time to time because it was so funny.

This is how you Aggie. Right there with you

Yeah, that was because something didn't align with the culture he is establishing. Elko knows how important it is and won't let it go until we've won the whole damn thing.

As I recall there are auto-extensions in his contract for making playoffs or conference championships. Nothing extravagant, but i want to say it renews it to original terms/length along with cash bonuses.

Edit... jumped ahead of myself and see another poster already mentioned this.

Anyone at A&M that signs off on premature extensions should be shown the door the same day as the coach.

Coach Elko can sure as hell coach some defense. He doesn't play around.

Defense is looking great. Got rid of the me people from last year and put Elko more in charge.

Like what I'm seeing from Elko and enjoying the start to this season but I'm still pumping the breaks for now.

Our Kryptonite since 2012 has been late season conference road games, and we finish the year with 4 out of 6 on the road. If the defense looks like this going into November and we go at least 2-1 in our @Arkansas, @LSU, and @Missouri stretch then I'm going to be all aboard the Elko hype train. Just keep getting nightmares about what happened in 2016, the last time we started a season 6-0
