Can confirm, there are a shit ton of transplants from NY, NJ, PA, MA, and other states up that way here in RTP. I think the only people from Jersey in Collie Station are the ones who took a wrong turn when they exited the rental car lot at Intercontinental Airport.
November 26, 20232 yr 44 minutes ago, DixonHur said: 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 There's a certain type of personality who would be happy making X millions at Duke rather than 3X millions at aggy if only because of the lack of pressure. You can win 7 games per season at a place like Duke, and they will love you for it. (See also: Sonny Lubick.) Of course, if you can swindle Aggy out of a $100M buyout, you head to B/CS, live cheap for a while, take it easy, and invest that shit. Cash out when they can you and retire at age 50 in style.

I'm gonna puke just thinking about that debacle. You know why it's funny now? Because it's happening to aggy, not us.

Fify (but yeah, correct). I haven’t been to a game since we moved out here but it sounds like Duke is an atmosphere where kids wander in and out, they try to make the food an attraction, etc. There’s been some excitement this year but it is just not a football school even a little bit.
November 26, 20232 yr As much as it would be hilarious to see Elko stiff them after Aggie pre-announced thru TexAgs, I don’t want them to fall ass backwards into a better hire like Campbell. Let’s wrap up this hiring stat, so Elko can start stacking 8-4 seasons.

And that's not gonna be the ratio, assuming A&M doesn't completely tool this up, which they probably will. If $3.5M is the current number, Duke will go $4.5M or so, and A&M will do what, $6M? I wouldn't make that move. Of course, A&M will tool this up.

Everybody worth a shit in college has already told them no. Urban is the only guy that would worry me at this point, and they would probably have to change the name of the school to Texas U&M to get it done.

November 27, 20232 yr Is aggy going to give Elko a plaque stating "Mike Elko: ___ Choice for Head Coach"?
November 27, 20232 yr Elko would be a very good hire. If he’s waiting then there might be another job he wants. I don’t think some of y’all realize how difficult a job Duke is (for football). He and Steve Spurrier are the only coaches in the last 50 years to have a winning record there. I really wish that Stoops hire had stuck.
November 27, 20232 yr Billy Liucci: “And for those wondering, the decision to move on Elko was made late last night with AD and Board in agreement and lock-step. Press conference expected on Monday.” yep….as soon as Stoops got his raise and turned aggy down.

The cost of the fuck-up yesterday for A&M means real dollars offered to Elko today, compounded by the idiocy of A&M yet again leaking the name before everything's settled. Elko's negotiating from a position of incredible strength right now, because A&M cannot at this point say, "Whoops! Fooled y'all again."

Bjork already got his hand slapped for contacting a coach’s agent without going through normal channels. Stoops. This whole thing has been a shit show. Aggie jokes just write themselves.
November 27, 20232 yr Just now, TOR said: Oh please let Elko decline and take another job. Oregon St. is calling! He's not leaving the ACC to a team that doesn't have a conference.
November 27, 20232 yr Meanwhile, on Texags Quote FCBlitz 5:43p I want him to be demanding, disciplined and program oriented. Cast out players who create divisiveness, are lazy and are prima Donna's. Reward players who move mountains for him, master his process and are unselfish to their teammates. Have a coaching staff that is unified and that any one of them can implement game day management.Those elements above will result in a national championship.
November 27, 20232 yr Let’s not forget Elko lost to the worst team in the ACC this year, and arguably the worst P5 team this year.

I think the reports of "haven't made a decision" are just stalling to let him tell his players in person. Of course A&M reporters won't respect that because doing so would give Elko an out if he changed his mind. Edited November 27, 20232 yr by ClubWhatever
November 27, 20232 yr Elko was at aggy when they forfeited the bowl game. He knows what type of idiots he’s dealing with
November 27, 20232 yr If they do get Elko congratulations are in order. It's pretty impressive to convince someone to come to collie station after having already lived there once.
