Mike Elko clearly has a big fan in CBS Sports host Josh Pate, who was “bullish” about the Texas A&M head coach this past week.
Pate continued to praise Elko this weekend as well.
“Honestly guys, I don’t think a lot of folks who even watch this sport carefully and a lot, understand anything about Mike Elko. I don’t think they know a thing about him! I think they think of Elko as that dude who’s been a high profile assistant at Notre Dame and A&M. Then they snapped their fingers, he was at Duke, they beat Clemson, that’s basically the public recall on Mike Elko,” Pate explained. “Mike Elko is a known commodity amongst football people. No one in football space doubts him. No one in College Station doubts him.
“They never lacked resource. I’ve been a big believer that they have the resources to be a premier program. They’ve made bad hire after bad hire so I think they made the right hire here.”
The Aggies host Notre Dame at Kyle Field on Aug. 31 to begin the season.
