Elko talks about winning championships like it’s easy. What championships has he won? It looks like he might have won an Ivy League conference title in 1998. What else? Probably a few hotdog eating contests.
Does Reveille sign off on all coaching hires? For example, the AD presents it to the BoR, the BoR signs off, then does Reveille have to bark once for approval and stamp her paw print on the contract?
E-Rob is being set up to be the fall guy next year. He should be paid handsomely for it. Otherwise he could continue his coaching career elsewhere, a career in which he presumably has a good future in.
If he allows aggy to use him as a patsy for minimal money and essentially ends his career over the next year, that would be a sad deal for him personally.
We all know he was at the top of their list, and for good reason. The timeline is such that he likely turned them down initially, so they went to Option B and so on. As the aggy got ever more embarrassed by national pundits questioning their rightful place at the pinnacle of CFB, they would have no choice but to circle back to Elko with an even bigger deal, just to save face. And obviously he said no again. Will the Aggy circle back to him a third time?
“E-Rob” needs to hold out for a minimum of a one year, $50M contract. The reason being is that aggy will use him to keep the recruiting in place, and retain the vaunted best recruiting class ever. After doing this, he will promptly be fired and likely never to coach again after the highly embarrassing season plays out.
It’s remarkable to come to the realization that Elko turned aggy down, probably multiple times, for probably $11M+ per year. Much respect to Elko for having the confidence and self respect to turn it down.
Stoops staff are probably looking at this shitshow and will bail. Stoops will have to replace them with recent high school graduates who played ball, like a lesser version of Lance Harbor.
Woodward and Bjork have to be plants. There’s no other explanation for what is happening in aggyland. The question is who is orchestrating this operation? This is some George Soros level shit.
