‘Our recipe is that we have to be able to perform under pressure’ Mike Elko and Ross Bjork take questions at press conference

Everything Ross Bjork and Mike Elko had to say about Elko’s hiring as the 30th head football coach at Texas A&M

The A&M football program is headed in a new direction, and former Aggie DC Mike Elko will lead it.

Elko spent the last two years at Duke, where he won ACC Coach of the Year and back-to-back winning seasons. As a head coach, he is 16-9 with a bowl win, and before that, he spent about two decades as an assistant coach.

Ready for the challenge, Mike Elko knows that he is expected to win and build a strong identity for the football program:

“If you want to chase the highest prizes in this sport, it’s going to come with high expectations and high pressure.” “You embrace who you are. I’ve embraced my process as a head coach… I believe in who I am, and I believe in my process for making decisions.”
