Mike Elko to A&M

[85Bears]

Good hire

ETA : needs to get the OC and OL coach right

 

[pseudonym]

Mark Stoops would have been a better hire.

 

[57stratdawg]

Pretty sure we talked with Elko.

Yeah, he’s a poor man’s Stoops. Glad they didnt end up with Stoops honestly, he’d have won big. Elko may, or may not

Yeah, the more I thought about it, the more I’m glad Stoops didn’t go. Elko could still do really well there. At the end of the day, glad we’re getting someone with offense

Hearing 5 years 300 million. 200 million up front.

So did Lane turn them down? Why go for Elko instead of Lane, who is winning in the SEC and bringing in top QB's.

The majority of their fan base didn’t want Lane. Said he‘s ”a bad fit for their culture”.

 

[Podgy]

What's their culture? Not winning the SEC even with Johnny Football?

Maybe, for a rarity in CFB, Lane has had his ego stoked all he needs and realizes he’s in a pretty good spot for him.

What is their culture? If it’s anything like there cheer squad, Lane wouldn’t want to be around that. As to their culture, tell me how Johnny Football was the right fit and the Lanetrain wouldn’t fit?? Scratching my head over that.

Having coaches not date college aged girls is what I would guess

Several of them actually said that Lane’s ego is too big.

It’s the girls part they have a problem with.

I think Kiffin is only leaving for a national championship job or an NFL job. Texas A&M isn’t either.

THAT is some prime stuff…..
