I mean, I hate ou just as much as anyone else on here but this is absolutely correct. And as everyone can see, aggy is in spin mode.
“Insiders” pumping out all sorts of sunshine messages? Check.
Try to make it known that the admin and athletic department are united? Fucking check.
Pump up Elko as the best hire since Bear Bryant even though we did that with Jimbo? Checkity check.
Make it know that Elko “gets us”? Absolutely check
Have people with a lot of followers make up shit like getting texts from other P5 coaches and Texas high school coaches who are praising the Elko hire? Mother fuckity check.
This is an athletic department/fan base/college who is making decisions not in the best interest of what will get their football program actual championships but instead what they believe will just beat Texas next year. This is how juvenile they are. But for some reason because Elko coached there before, that automatically means this is the right hire/right fit all because he agreed to keep Robinson and the recruits they bought because they believe that class is the class to a.) beat Texas and b.) maybe win something prominent.
Yes, what Elko did at Duke was impressive, but he’s not the home run hire they are making it out to be. A&M is great at manufacturing just horseshit and trying to sell it as gold, and they are primed and ready to do that again with the hire of Elko.
