smoke rising.

Would be a big loss for A&M.

If A&M was smart they would write Elko a blank check

The run defense turn around is nothing short of remarkable

Elko was quietly the best hire of the entire offseason IMO. He was masterful this year and did for Aggy what they expected Chavis’ fat worthless arse to do

They are also looking at Many Diaz. I really hope A&M raises his pay to keep him. I know he won't be here much longer but I'd like to have him for at least one more year.

Sources have said that Temple has shown a clear preference for defensive-minded coaches to this point. While there are likely other candidates as well, two names that sources specifically mentioned are of interest in Philadelphia are Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko and Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.

That'd be hilarious if they did. Their defense is loaded with seniors. They're taking a huge step back next year with seniority and talent on defense

Christian Harris’ brother was recruited by Elko to Wake Forest and Elko is close to their family since then. Rumor is Elko told the family he is leaving which led to the flip to Bama.

Harris flipped a couple of weeks ago, and the Temple job was not open at the time.

No way does the Christian Harris flip and Elko to Temple have any connection, unless Elko was leaving A&M regardless and fell into a HC job.

agree, what he did with that defense was remarkable... i put him right there with Aranda.. and i knew last year when they hired him i was like "frick" that aint good... he was the guy i mentioned when Aranda to TAMU surfaced, i was thinking we wouldnt miss a beat hiring that guy... His scheme at Notre Dame is what beat us in that bowl... I hope he takes that temple job... then maybe we can hire him after O leaves...

was offered Temple Job. I'm assuming we gave him a raise because he is staying. rumor is 2.1/yr.

Pete Thamel?? @PeteThamel
Source: Mike Elko will return to Texas A&M as defensive coordinator.

Manny Diaz and Don Brown are the finalists. Might explain why some UM recruits are jumping ship.
