From attacking the fanbase to refusing to try a different quarterback, this guy wants out.

He certainly isn't trying to win. He said Marcel Reed had his best game yesterday. WTF?

Buckle up A&M fans. Your board wont fire him due to the giant buyout, and Elko clearly doesn't give a shite anymore. If he is forced to keep working he will be very bitter.

You are advised to pick a different hobby next year. This isn't going to be pretty.

He’s finding out why A@M hasn’t ever won anything.Too many chiefs and no Indians..TEXAS,AUB,FLA all have the same problem ,all the bigwigs getting involved and making it impossible for success.

I’d bet money that these QBs have guarantees in their NIL contracts that they can’t lose their starting job

Let me know which chiefs said, "No need to go get an established OC, or QB coach. Just promote from within. It'll be fine".

A&M sucks currently, but this season was sunk when this decision was made.

He thinks they get a better draft pick if they lose.

If Underwood didn't have that clause most of them must not have that type of language in the contracts.

Not coaching A&M has unbeatable pay for doing nothing.

Promoting from within was a big mistake by Elko. He could get away with it on D because he can take control of that but as a defensive coach you can’t let someone have play calling when they have never had it before. You are at a sec program, you have to go get someone with experience for the other side of the ball that you aren’t the expert in.
