QuoteIf Texas A&M has proven one thing in the past year and change, it's that they've made an upgrade at the coaching position— especially considering some of the other names that were out there. Some big fish were mentioned as possible candidates, but Mike Elko seems to be just the man for the job so far— on the field and on the trail.
Time will tell, but the Aggies may have made a program-defining hire if Elko can get things turned around. We already saw some evidence of that with what he was able to do in this previous season, despite the downturn that occurred down the stretch. Accomplishing what he did with a patchwork defense and the QB carousel we saw was pretty amazing.
That's why most Aggie fans feel fine joking about the "hire" of Mark Stoops. If you're not clued in, A&M fans essentially got in the way of what was a handshake deal for Stoops to come to Aggieland after Fisher was fired.That would have been disastrous on several accounts. Stoops struggles with a lot of the same outdated philosophical issues that were plaguing Fisher by the time he exited Aggieland, and he was doing so without the recruiting ability that Jimbo had shown. It would have been more of the same... only worse.
Unbelievable SEC coaches ranking puts Mike Elko behind Mark Stoops
That's why this ranking of SEC coaches is so puzzling. Not only is Mike Elko on the bottom half of the list, he's on the bottom half behind Mark Stoops.I think that Elko has put himself above Stoops, Drinkwitz, and Beamer pretty solidly. I've sounded off before about how Brian Kelly is overrated, but I understand he and guys like Heupel and DeBoer being in front of Elko, though.
Not Stoops, though. Especially not Stoops.
This is a sham of a ranking, and as untenable as it is right now, I think it will be even more so once we complete this upcoming season. I have a feeling the Aggies are set to leave no doubt once 2025 is over.

The most amusing thing about this thread are all the comments singling out Mormonism as a cult, because somehow their version of their sky fairy is weirder than all the other sky fairies out there.
I mean, it is, though...

Couer D'Alene is one of the most beautiful towns in the entire country. It's also full of actual Nazis.

IIRC, he was the Texas Stars' first head coach in franchise history. They made it to the Calder Cup Finals that season, mostly because Dallas didn't make the playoffs, so they sent Jamie down for the AHL playoffs and he absolutely fucking dominated.

He was the scariest motherfucker in baseball when he was with Pittsburgh.
Just an enormous dude who hit screaming line drives, you didn't dare run on him because he had an absolute cannon, and he could really run when he was young.
For me, this is what I think about when I see his name:

This guy has his panties in a bunch again about something someone wrote on the Internet:
QuoteWhen you're in peak offseason mode, the discussion of things like win ceilings and win floors is commonplace. It is not uncommon to see projections done in that form as we get ever closer to the actual start of the college football season.
These can be hit or miss, obviously, and fodder for hilarity in hindsight. We know far less about each individual team at this point than we do once the games are played, so there's a lot of conjecture playing into the equation if you're not talking about statistical models.
That said, I think there are some things that we can say pretty certainly are beyond the pale.CBS's best-case and worst-case scenarios for the Aggies is surely something that will be controversial for the way they discuss A&M's floor for the upcoming season.CBS shockingly assigns 5-7 floor to Texas A&M for 2025 football season
CBS has outlined their best and worst case scenarioes for every SEC team in the upcoming year, and they said that the Aggies could end up at the dreaded 5-7 mark. When given the space to outline their rationale, here's all they offered:"There's some regression coming, right?... Texas A&M will not be favored on the road against Notre Dame, LSU or Texas -- and the home showdown with Florida on Oct. 11 could get tricky if quarterback DJ Lagway is the breakout performer most are expecting."
So, for those of you counting, that is four losses— not seven. Presumably, the other three are South Carolina, Missouri, and... who? Arkansas? Mississippi State?This has me wondering what the criteria for "worst case" actually is. Worst realistic case? Because it stretches credulity that the Aggies could realistically pile up seven losses absent a lot of injury. And if we're counting injury as part of this possibility space, then for all we know right now, every single starter could get injured on the first snap of the game against UTSA and the Aggies could go 0-12!
Meanwhile, the "worst case" scenario for the Longhorns is 8-4 in this article. As a matter of fact, I would say that 8-4, given everything that the Longhorns are replacing, is actually not that unrealistic of an outcome, seeing how their schedule plays out. Worst case— if, as they say in the article, that could include injury to their starting QB— would be more like 6-6. At least, if the Aggies' floor is 5-7, that shoudl be the case.
I think it's germane to mention that the "worst-case" projection for the Aggies in 2022 was 8-4. And, due to injury, they plummeted far below that mark. Something to keep in mind as we consider this projection.-

MLB leader in Caught Stealing is 17 (Ruiz & Narvaez). Last season it was 32 (Dumper & Smith).
The all-time record for a season is 189 (in 1895): https://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/CS_c_season.shtml
The last time anyone had over 100 was 1920.
