So still no official confirmation?

I have not seen anything and based on Thamel we have a few hours to go.

Sources: Texas A&M is in discussions with Duke coach Mike Elko to become the next coach. Elko just informed his Duke team a decision will be made in the next 24 hours.

It is entirely possible they just got the two situations mixed up right?

Ross Bjork: “So we all agree, we’re hiring the former Jimbo DC overachieving in blue and white out east.”A&M brass: “Agreed.”Bjork: “OK just heard back and Mark Stoops has accepted our offer!”A&M brass: “No. Wait. WHAT?!?!”

I thought it would be Traylor but maybe Traylor wouldn't agree to keeping Robinson.  or he's aware of how batshit crazy the place is.

It is appropriate the coach they hired has a average record of 8-4

*8-4.5

"OK, the plane will be landing at the Lexington airport in one hour and we can't wait to see you in College Station. We've got the band, the Yell Leaders, and Reveille all ready to go ... Wait, what's that? You're in Durham? Are you visiting family there for the holidays?"

It's true to me:

In case you can’t read between the lines on A&M, their admin got hijacked by their donors (once again):The admin went through the interview process and decided mark stoops was the man for the job, prob not my pick but more power to them👇In the negotiation it was clear that…

I can’t find a compelling reason Elko is better than Stoops. Other than, he spent two years there under a guy they hated so much, they spent $70M+ just so he’d go away.

I can't even find a compelling reason that Elko is better than Jimbo, but here we are.

Elko has been there before so he won't be freaked out by the weirdness.

I mean, I hate ou just as much as anyone else on here but this is absolutely correct. And as everyone can see, aggy is in spin mode. 

“Insiders” pumping out all sorts of sunshine messages? Check.

Try to make it known that the admin and athletic department are united? Fucking check. 

Pump up Elko as the best hire since Bear Bryant even though we did that with Jimbo? Checkity check.

Make it know that Elko “gets us”? Absolutely check

Have people with a lot of followers make up shit like getting texts from other P5 coaches and Texas high school coaches who are praising the Elko hire? Mother fuckity check. 

 

This is an athletic department/fan base/college who is making decisions not in the best interest of what will get their football program actual championships but instead what they believe will just beat Texas next year. This is how juvenile they are. But for some reason because Elko coached there before, that automatically means this is the right hire/right fit all because he agreed to keep Robinson and the recruits they bought because they believe that class is the class to a.) beat Texas and b.) maybe win something prominent. 

Yes, what Elko did at Duke was impressive, but he’s not the home run hire they are making it out to be. A&M is great at manufacturing just horseshit and trying to sell it as gold, and they are primed and ready to do that again with the hire of Elko.

Mike Elko beat 1 team total at Duke that had less than 4 losses. Only 5/16 wins came against P5 teams with a winning record. His resume is an absolute joke at Duke. https://t.co/1Xz47BoSJK

aTm is the fat chick that thinks she's hot because she gets laid every weekend while her much more attractive group of friends don't. It's because she put out no matter what. That's aTm.

They've engaged Houston radio in the spin campaign.  'Ignore everything we said about a&m never settling.'

See, this is where they're playing chess and you're thinking checkers.  They know Jimbo is probably better than Elko, but they can pay Elko less than they were paying Jimbo.  Sure, there was a buyout . . . or two . . . but that's a myopic perspective.  You need to be a big picture type.

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.

No way he is having any input on the d scheme or anything for that matter. It sounds like it’s purely title only. To save this class and he moves on next year. He is the Eric bienemey of aggy

Shit this weekend has been glorious.  I'm almost sorry that the aggy corch search saga is drawing to a close...for now.

Still, they never fail to entertain.  I'll be keeping my eyes on what happens to Bjork next.  Does the aggy BOR shitcan him?  Or will they simply haze him like a frat boy pledge at the aggy BOR Christmas party?  And if they do shitcan him, will the aggy AD search be as entertaining as this one was?

It is appropriate the coach they hired has a average record of 8-4
Traylor was a serious candidate for aggy and did inteview, but I guarantee you they tried to low-ball him on the contract so they could at least point out the savings to those not thrilled about the hire. Traylor (or his agent) wasnt having it and aggy wasnt prepared to pay near Jimbo money to steal UTSA's coach.

These days if you’re a decent HC and gonna get paid for a few years, no matter what you’re record of achievement, and then get a golden parachute on the way out, you can stomach being anywhere , the system has very little incentive for performance. See: Charlie Strong, Herman, and post 2009 FUPM, Les Miles, etc. A small handful are driven by ego and the need to win, the rest, not so much. They only fight for wins on the way up the career ladder, but once a HC getting guaranteed 7 figures for a few years most give zero fucks it seems.

It would be stupid to pay Traylor anywhere near Jimbo's salary.  (It was stupid to pay Jimbo that much, but at least he had some skins on the wall.)  Where's the leverage?  "Oh, you won't pay me $10M annually?  Well, fuck that, I'm going back to UTSA where I make $2.8M.  Ha ha!  suck it, losers!"

(This assumes A&M has some negotiating skill, which clearly they don't, but nevertheless . . . )
