Where is all this "Elko has checked out coming from?"

Well, his defense sucks because he's not that good, but they can't admit that he's not that good because that would mean they made a mistake in hiring him and then building him up to be some kind of genius defensive wizard, and they can't ever admit that they make mistakes, so it must be the case that he's checked out.

Or better they turn on Jimbo but unlike sumlin who just took the abuse Jimbo snaps back at the administration and fans and they stupidly try and fire him for cause and thus end up in a massively expensive toxic, and public  legal battle .

I actually think Elko is really good. Their defense will fall off a cliff if he leaves. Just look at the roster he's had to work with the last two years.

Yeah. Elko was Jimbo’s best hire. He’s a good coach and recruiter. Hopefully he hops off that sinking ship ASAP, so Jimbo can hire the equivalent of Henson at DC.

They went from #51 in adjusted defense in '17 to #21 in '18. Elko is good. He might not be a top 5 defensive coordinator but he's a good coach. Without Elko's defensive improvements they would be a .500 team under Jimbo. 

There's probably little chance they upgrade if they lose Elko.

Elko is a very good DC. aggy defense is aided by the Jimbo run the clock offense, but they have performed rather well considering they have little experienced depth in their back 7. It would be a big loss if Elko left, which he is probably considering because working for Jimbo is a beating.

Same as it ever was. Except this time, they’ve hamstrung themselves into a ridiculous initial contract. They don’t have to extend it to be in dire trouble such that they won’t be able to buy their failed coach out for years. I’m gurssing it will be at least year 8 until they can afford to buy Jimbo out. Bwahahahahaha!

I wouldn't be surprised if they raise and extend him after next year's super easy schedule provides pretty good results.

Jimbo doesn’t give a shit.  He’s still eyeing that LSU job.  

Coach Eaux has bumblefucked his way into a damn good system that can have long term success if he can keep from screwing it up down the stretch and keep his offensive coordinator for more than a year.

Jimbo can reunite with Charles Kelly.

Daddy99 will send his film reviews to Elko, along with a brochure on how to save money on his car insurance . The rest is history.

Let’s actually dream of Elko not getting a head coaching job, but instead getting poached by another SEC team as a defensive coordinator. The tears would be spectacular.

Aggy will pay any amount of money to keep this from happening.  Elko's agent is probably on the phone right now with about 10 other SEC teams.

Elko’s going to get his shit kicked in next Saturday.

I really wish saban would deliver a demoralizing beatdown instead of taking his foot off the gas 3 minutes into the third quarter.

Without Elko's defensive improvements they would be a .500 team under Jimbo. 

Georgia, lsu, bama, and possibly one of the MS games.

They already are a 500ish team.

It'll be something like a 38-10 game where the score doesn't look like a blowout, but it was never in doubt. 

Jimbo will score a TD with 2 seconds left to make a 28 point loss only be 21.

And then lay an egg @ Ole Miss the following week.

I think Jimbo will make it close. They will celebrate this loss as a sign of progress.

in fairness to them, after barely escaping arkansas I think a close loss to bama would be a sign of progress.

Yeah, this is probably correct. Moral victory to show the recruits that Jimbo has this under control, next year is the year. It wasn't as bad as last year, etc.

This. If anybody wants to make some money this coming weekend, Bama won’t cover.

I'm hoping the visiting aggy recruits end up over on Bama's side of the field after a blow out.

ESPN's updated bowl projections have aggy in the Texas Bowl vs Oklahoma State.

 

SBN kept them in the Music City, now against Mich State, in what would be a grindingly awful 17-14 slugfest.

Besides Kansas, who won’t become bowl-eligible, aggy couldn’t beat any of the other B12 teams, so they’ll be looking for some push-over wussy team to play.  I don’t think they’d even play SMU.  aggy skeered to play any team with balls.

They'll go to that bowl Auburn was in last year and play a crappy Big 10 team with 6 wins.  This is of course assuming they make a bowl.  Lose to Ole Miss ( very possible ) and all bets are off.
