Talk about a lack of respect for your guys not even to tell them that you’re leaving face to face. That’s coward shite IMO

With the way A&M has conducted this coaching search, and the fiasco surrounding Stoops, I don’t blame Elko for not telling his players he was leaving until an agreement was signed and it was 100% ironclad.

By that time, would Duke even want another school’s head coach to walk into their facilities and hold a meeting with their student athletes? Especially in the portal era.

It’s not a good look. Not as bad as quitting when your team still has a great shot at a BCS playoff spot….

Ohhh…. Wait a second…

It’s a business. When someone offers you millions and has a private jet waiting, every single one of you would get on.

“Scheduling a meeting” also means setting a time to say thanks & goodbyes.

Well, O won a NC at LSU, coached a Heisman winning QB, had an amazing offensive and defensive staff, and went undefeated to win the SEC championship and NC


You’re proving my point. You can’t tell me Orgeron is a better coach than this guy, but he still achieved all that.

Imagine what even an average coach can do with aTm’s resources and inevitable #1 recruiting classes.

Didn't their last coach have a NC before he got there. That along with bags of money still didn't get more than a good COVID season and mediocre other seasons.

A&M has a meddling booster problem like Auburn. It'll take a special personality to harness those booster's money while keeping them at arms length from the program.

Brian Kelly talks to team for 3 minutes and 40 seconds and then walks out in silence

He talked at the players for less than 4 minutes and then ran away. After informing them via text. You’re right, this is totally different.


I believe he texted because the story broke while he was coming back from a croot trip. But to compare that to Zoom...just saying the word Zoom in this context is an lol

Unfortunately this is the norm nowadays. Every big coach that leaves now just up and rolls out. Almost as if it is a requirement from the hiring school. Pretty sure BK and Lincoln Riley did this as well.

I mean it sucks and there's no real good way to do this. Hell I found out my last job was closing permanently when I tried to log in to my company email and it said my account didn't exist and then I went to our website and all of my location's information had been removed. It was still a couple of days later when we got any official word and it was a mass email with a PDF for us to submit to the Unemployment Office. The real world sucks sometimes.

Hell, Bobby Petrino left notes on his players' lockers when he left the Falcons telling them he was leaving. He didn't even sign the note cards, they contained printed text and signature

Nobody at Arkansas cared about that when he was winning 10 and 11 games

Yea nobody on the other side gives a shite. It’s just the other fans throwing shite bc they can but in reality nobody cares

It was a big deal with Kelly I suppose to some bc his team was on the cusp of the playoffs

When you’re 7-5, whatever lol
