aggy doesn't have the money to give him a raise. Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see him eject mid-season this year. He was pretty clear - if you read between the lines - that the aggy job was a stepping stone to a quality location. He's been actively looking the entire time he's been there.
Aside from the cash flow issue aggy has more mounting problems. They continue to turn in some of the worst TV numbers in the SEC so at some point their stage is going to get a lot smaller (i.e. bought out and forced to move conferences). The schools actually bringing in eyeballs and money are not going to be interested in equally sharing revenue. The "have nots" in the SEC - the schools with bad ratings, poor sports performance, and who are so far behind the facilities curveball that there is no way they can ever catch up - are going to have a reckoning when the next media deal comes up. Thing aggy, vanderbilt, maybe kentucky, etc.
If Elko doesn't eject before then he risks trying to jump to an actual high profile job from what will probably be a sunbelt school.
