Seeing some chatter about Mich State.

The staff turnover is wild. 11-1 team and we basically have a new staff next year

It's what happens to successful staffs.
This is where we find out how good Elko really is.

At least we kept our HC

I'd really like to go to a game at Michigan one day.

I mean, I can go to Michigan game anytime I want, but I'd like for A&M to go up there at some point.

And I'm glad we have. Saturday sucked yes but we had an 11-1 season and got to the CFP as one of 12 teams. Let's see what happens next year.

Everybody today has the let's fire him bug, but they don't think about who they can hire. You may not have been saying to fire him, but it's getting ridiculous. There's only so many coaches out there.

As Bum Phillips said, you're either a coach that has been fired or is about to get fired.

Klein -- HC Promotion
Ellsworth -- TE to QB coach so a slight promotion in responsibilities
Peterson -- DC Promotion
Batemen -- demoted/took lateral move to UK
Cushing -- Possible promotion to OC
Spencer -- later move to DL


So 4 promotions (assuming Cushing leaves), and two lateral moves (with one the result of a demotion).

Oh totally. Just saying it feels like we lost everyone else

Isn't Cushing the O-line and run game coordinator? Please correct me if I'm mistaken (I'm by no means an expert on these things) but I feel like our run game and O-line were among the weakest links in our offense the last 2 games.

Not really….successful teams lose coaches. Oregon lost their OC and DC as well.

Saban used to lose people every single year. Its the sign of a successful program

Yet, so many posters are absolutely BLIND to it. Yes, Elko failed as a coach this year. Yes, losers and bad coaches are always hired first.

And thank you, rsf0626, for recognizing exactly what it is.

We need to keep Cushing. Pretty please.

Or could it be they are leaving because Elko has seen enough of their performance and isnt interested in seeing more. Past two November's and post season are failures

Happened to Elio at Duke too.
It's become a giant red flag to anyone who doesn't refuse to see it.

Well he's earned a little grace period with that 11-2 record but he better make this next batch of hires more permanent if he is the one initiating most of this turn over

Some of these folks were pushed out. DC and DL feel like Elko was not satisfied with what we had. We get to find out how good Elko is next year, but the next step is if we can fill the holes in our starting lineup with player development and portal additions.

I thought we already knew how good he was hence the premature extension
