New Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is making the media rounds in just his second full day on the job, first appearing on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show to officially announce to the world that any preconceived notions regarding the program’s mediocrity on the gridiron are coming to an end in 2024 and beyond.
Already making multiple changes to the coaching staff, including OC Bobby Petrino, WR coach Daymeune Craig, and OL coach Steve Adazzio, Elko is looking to revamp the Aggies offense. At the same time, the defensive coordinator postion, still held by D.J. Durkin, is something to pay attention to in the coming weeks.
This is a new era for Texas A&M Football, as the issues that plagued Jimbo Fisher’s tenure will hopefully cease to exist moving forward, including the second-half collapses that resulted in four out of the Aggies’ five losses this season. However, during his time as A&M’s defensive coordinator from 2018-2021, Elko’s second-half adjustments were his bread and butter, and Aggie fans couldn’t be more excited to see next year’s team finish games.
Here is everything Mike Elko had to say during his appearance on the Pat McAfee Show.
