Mike Elko is thriving in his first season as the Texas A&M Aggies' head coach.
On Saturday night, Elko's Aggies took down the No. 8 LSU Tigers 38-23 in front of an electric crowd at Kyle Field. The Aggies fell behind early but outscored the Tigers 31-6 in the second half to pull away late. It was a statement win for A&M, now the last remaining unbeaten team in SEC play."This is a real program. It’s not fake,". "It’s not a politician running this program, talking fast and BS’ing everybody. This is a real program.
Under former head coach Jimbo Fisher, who Elko previously worked with as A&M's defensive coordinator, the Aggies struggled to produce on the field despite their abundance of talent. Fisher's best season came in 2020, when the Aggies went 9-1 and barely missed the College Football Playoff. In every other season, which weren't affected by COVID, Fisher finished no better than 9-4. He walked away with a $77.
