  1. I think Elko is good but not really sold. He's coached a grand total of 1 game so far at Duke against a top-25 team (per the ESPN efficiency rankings) and it's a game Duke lost. 
    I think we will find out more over the next 4 weeks when Duke plays 3 more top 25 teams under the same metric. So far Elko has done a really good job of beating mediocre to bad teams. The next 4 weeks will show us if he can beat good teams. 

    If you have the misfortune of following Duke football, you’d understand that it takes a damn good coach to win 9 games in Durham…

    I think you make excellent points. I don't really see how a coach with numerous options, including staying put at a high-salaried P5 recruiting power, would wind up choosing ATM for a nominally higher salary. It doesn't make any sense if they fire Fisher ignominiously and scream "SLEEPING GIANT!" as a coach recruiting tool. The next guy would have to have something left to prove while having blemishes, or be someone taking the big step up and convincing themselves that they can be the one to fix ATM's systemic problems. 

    I've heard people mention Urban Meyer and that dude seems too astute of CFB. No way he goes to the Bermuda Triangle for the college football world. Maybe they just promote Petrino and we all get to keep on laughing?

    I'm sure Urban would consider a ~$100 M contract (which is probably what it would take)... Collect a massive, state tax free payday prior to retirement and kill himself "recruiting" down in Florida all off-season... He's a 3x national champion, so he has nothing else to prove. And if he does the impossible and makes aggy a contender, he's in the conversation to be the GOAT.

  3. Well, I'm 99% sure that Big 12 officials will cost us at least one of: @TCU, KSU, BYU or Tech... They'll rig it so another team wins the tiebreaker, and we're sitting at home. Then Yomark will probably whack off to the Big 12 refs jobbing OU in the Championship Game -- costing them a playoff bid.

  4. Sark’s due a few of these each season. It’s just who he is unfortunately.

    Yup, everyone is already talking about a conference championship re-match. But I still see us dropping 1-2 more in the regular season.
