I just don't see how A&M can both time firing Jimbo and hiring Elko to make this happen.
The job Elko is doing is worthy of any P5 program, so they have to do it before someone either steals him or gets locked up with some ridiculous buyout.
There's also a potential since Duke is private he may have some buyout outs, but I would be shocked if A&M is on this list.
It looks like he's a midwest guy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Elko , which means fuck all to me aside from not really tied to Texas.
My personal opinion is he probably keeps rolling at Duke until something like Penn State , Michigan, or Ohio State opens up , with Bama being a dark horse if he's successful. Otherwise he enjoys the low pressure high pay situation at Duke.
Elko more than anyone know's how much College Station sucks sheep balls on a stick from the lack of civilization and sister fuckers, the guy played in the fucking Ivy league.
I just don't see how anyone but an A&M fan could think this is a realistic option.
Fuck A&M, they deserve Jimbo, and likely end up with <insert semi hot coach> in 3 years when hilariously inconveniently Saban retires right after they fire jimbo and Bama steals whoever their actual target is.
