Program builders stay more than 2 years.

Elko was gifted some significant developing players and had a mature team when he took over from Cutciff.

The rebuild was already in place for Duke the previous 2 years and Elko took all the credit.

He's a good coach, but people need to cool it with the "he's a program builder".

He still beat teams his program had no business beating. And produced a defense way above their recrtuing rankings. Again, at Duke. I get cutliffe had some great offenses and qbs run through there... but who would ever imagine saying I like how that duke defense hits, or man that duke team is really physical... with the players they get?? Elko is very much the real deal at dc. At minimum he'll have an elite defense. Recruiting ain't going anywhere but top 5, cause $$ isn't leaving.

They needed a bland basic b hire, to ground the program and team. See if it works. Kelly has a job to keep improving our team as well, so let's see who does it better.
