My first choice would have been Lance Liepold.  That guy worked miracles at KU.

hmmm.  It's like an actual well run coaching search might have come to that conclusion.

I don't care what the salary difference is, at that level I'd coach in Durham over College Station without even thinking about it.

Duke has to replace 15 starters, I think. He might realize his chance to cash is now or never. 

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.

Liucci with the rare truth bomb.

 

Yes a truth. Liucci said DeBoer gave them the “stiff arm.” He was likely their first approach/target. Wonder what that call went like?

Yea he's not falling for the Matt Campbell banana in the tailpipe

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 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

The TexAgs post looks like it was around midnight last night, but as far as I can tell they're coming around especially after that Looch-door guy tweeted about Bjork and the BOR being in lockstep. Aggs love that lockstep. It's tradition!

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.

Bjork: HI, would you like to be the next head coach of the fighting texum aggy? Whoop!

I suppose it went something like what I do when I get spam calls. Hang up before they can finish the sentence and block the number.

 
 

So, the same fucking people.

The truth? Bold strategy, Billy. Better be careful with that. That shit's not gonna fly in aggyland.

So, this information must be old and out of date, right? Because I’ve now seen multiple tweets saying he’s been hired and announced. Right? Right?

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.

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.

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.

Stanford

Penn St.

Exactly. He left off central Florida.

Do we know that?  It's a private school.  (Not that you aren't aware.)  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.

They hired Mark Stoops but younger. 
Slightly. Weight looks approximately the same though.

According to tax documents, Elko made just $3.5 million after signing a contract extension through 2029 at Duke.

Maybe that would be the price listed in the incentive clause if he beats UT. 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.

Everyone’s giving too much credit here… they were sent to voicemail.

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.

True.
 

I left off LSU and probably others.

 

aggy- other than that the insane compensation - is, arguably, not a top-25 job.

LSU is the best job in the country.   You can be a complete fucking moron and win it all there. 

Congrats to aggy on getting this their 5th “first choice” for the HC vacancy
