BigJay · Nov 26, 2023

Thought they would have searched a little longer for maybe a bigger name

Duke's Mike Elko, a former Aggies defensive coordinator, will be the new coach at Texas A&M.

Hurley and Laettner will be tough to replace

im not sure right out of my head Jay

Seems like a very strange hire. Only two years as a HC. Seems like AM would have shot higher. One of the biggest NIL and booster $$ in the nation

I think I would rather have him than stoops, but you would think they should have done better.

Coaching means nothing you need the players to win
