Replacing a head coach who brought home a Natty is one kind of pressure. But the pressure of replacing a head coach who got fired is maybe even more. That’s the case for Texas A&M Aggies head coach Mike Elko , who took up Jimbo Fisher’s hot seat. Even though there is a $27 million buyout, it is important for Elko to know what to do to avoid failure.
The answer can be pretty simple. Not to take Fisher’s path. When it comes to Texas A&M, Elko already has enough examples of what went wrong in the past during Fisher’s reign. It’s time for him to turn through the pages, taking lessons from his failing predecessor. Gabe Bock , who has worked in media and has covered the Aggies for nearly 2 decades, has some advice for Elko.
