November 26, 20232 yr God damn, I was posting on this thread last night. Spent most of the afternoon trying to catch up before needing step away to take care of some chores. Every time I think I caught up.

November 26, 20232 yr Nah, Elko would be an idiot to turn down aggy. He'll easily double his salary, plus no state income tax, plus football will never be the number one sport at Duke. Listen, I get it, Durham is a much, much better place to live, but it's a dead end coaching job. There's just not much upside to staying. This was in response to @jimmyjazz Edited November 26, 20232 yr by DixonHur forgot how quickly this thread moves

November 26, 20232 yr This smells so much like our fuckup with hiring Tom Herman.1.Up and coming coordinator (Herman was actually hotter and coached to national championship)2. Familiar with aggy (Herman was a GA under Mack)3. Two years head coach experience (once again, Herman a bit more success)Should be fun to watch over the next few years lol

November 26, 20232 yr Not even a Dixie chicken there ya stupid sip Does Johnny 8-ball have a club there? Advantage Collie Station.

Aggs love that lockstep. It's tradition! 8 minutes ago, Vermin said: So aggy said we'll hire you, but you're stuck promoting a one trick recruiting wizard to significant scheme and play-calling responsibilities in your area of expertise because the academic admin likes him personally. Really professional management over at aggy. I wouldn't exactly call the AD and BOR academic would you? The BOR is over the President and the Provost and those two serve at the Board's discretion, which usually means those two have to pick their battles, leave, resign, or lose all integrity (which oddly enough is a supposed Aggie value). The documents released after the journalism school hiring/release/buyout this summer was not a brain trust (the BOR and the meddling former students) of which to be proud.

November 26, 20232 yr This was who I thought it was going to be. It's a decent hire for A&M, if they aren't breaking the bank once again to overpay.
November 26, 20232 yr 5 minutes ago, jimmyjazz said: Not everyone values the same things. True, but I would expect most football coaches to care about football, and while aggy might not be a Top 10 football coaching destination, it's objectively better than Duke.

Two years head coach experience (once again, Herman a bit more success) Should be fun to watch over the next few years lol I started having PTSD flashbacks to 2014: Almost every coach in the country got a raise off us that year, we went from "we're getting Saban!" to Jim Mora Jr. publicly turning us down (real offer or not) to settling for our "totally first choice the entire time, we swear" Charlie Strong. I'm gonna puke just thinking about that debacle.

November 26, 20232 yr Just now, naija said: c'mon. this is ridiculous. Exactly. He left off central Florida.
November 26, 20232 yr Lol, A&M has so much money they had to buy their new coach at the Dollar General ...

I've seen the "according to tax documents" claim . . . was that some sort of FOIA request? From a private university? At any rate, he should be a relative bargain, but A&M will probably screw this up and pay him $9M or some such just because they want to look like one of the big boys.
November 26, 20232 yr They hired Mark Stoops but younger. Slightly. Weight looks approximately the same though.

It was in an article today Quote According to tax documents, Elko made just $3.5 million after signing a contract extension through 2029 at Duke.

One win and eleven losses and he still comes out ahead? Seems like a standard contract like Jimbo had. When they beat Bama all was forgiven for the season.
November 26, 20232 yr 13 minutes ago, DixonHur said: Why would they need to? He makes $3.5 now Because he has the same agent as stoops and he has leverage. I’m sure Duke is countering

November 26, 20232 yr 45 minutes ago, YouLoveMyPenises said: Because he quite literally has them by the balls. If it comes out he turned them down, A&M is on their 3rd choice at best. Can they handle the public humiliation? Well, their national championship trophy case in that department is already chock full.
