Texas A&M: Billy Liucci tweets that Notre Dame defensive coordinator Mike Elko is heading to Texas A&M as defensive coordinator and to "expect an official announcement shortly."

Probably went to SEC Sports. The one before yours and then yours may both very well be there.

Tim Harris · January 04, 2018, 02:23:28 pm

I don't think they are being deleted but are being moved to SEC Sports.

PonderinHog · January 04, 2018, 02:24:23 pm

They are.

He did a really good at ND last year after coming over from Wake Forest. A&M has more money than Warren Buffett it seems. Obviously Fisher did not want Chavis as he has looked at numerous other candidates before hiring Elko.

Pork Ranger · January 04, 2018, 02:29:03 pm

I wonder how this will affect ND's chances with Brian Williams?

sowmonella · January 04, 2018, 02:29:31 pm

Elko has done it against non SEC teams. Chavis built his rep in the SEC.

PorkSoda · January 04, 2018, 02:29:32 pm

to be fair, it is relevant to razorback sports as it affects the buyout for our targeted DC.

SemperHawg · January 04, 2018, 02:29:59 pm

One would think if it really is going to be Chief for us, this is the first domino that had to fall to break the standoff between he and A&M.

NuttinItUp · January 04, 2018, 02:30:12 pm

These topics should stay on MMQB. They are Hog relevant because we are trying to make the Chavis hire official.

HogNTX · January 04, 2018, 02:30:55 pm

Hopefully that means Chavis has been fired... and we can hire him without having to worry about a buyout.

I don't log in to SEC Sports to get updates on our DC and this is definitely an update. Now we should get all our pieces in place soon. Go Hogs!

It won't have much effect IMO. I think he's destined for ND or Stanford.

Wildhog · January 04, 2018, 02:44:00 pm

I think it's funny that we're waiting on our next DC to get fired.

Not quite, but more than any other school.

Oklahoma — $134.3 million. ...
LSU — $138.6 million. ...

I really don't think that is the reason. Obviously they have known for a while that he wasn't the guy. If he was they would not have had as much public flirtation with other DCs and he would not have been looking for other jobs. My guess is any sort of buyout was negotiated a while back.

Mike_e · January 04, 2018, 03:25:50 pm

Probably wants to start with a blank canvas. No holdover from the old staff from the way they do things to the things that were allowed.

Makes sense to me anyway.

Pretty smart move on our part, I'd say.

FarmersFightATM · January 04, 2018, 03:36:47 pm

It looks like Chavis is heading y'alls way...here is an article about his contract extension he signed before the 2017 season. We may not be on the hook for a buyout of his contract, and y'all certainly won't. Even if we 'fire' him, he has an agreement that he will look for work at a fair market value...we just may owe the difference...

Funny thing is, Elko's defense gave up 37 points and almost 600 yards of offense to Wake Forest this year.

We don't need to hire him then.

AT Notre Dame by the way. And while we're at it, just to get all the facts out there, Wake Forest beat Bobby Petrino and finished ahead of Louisville (by virtue of their win vs. Louisville) in the ACC. Wake wasn't the patsy this year that they normally are...for those dogging Chavis and the bowl game.

Well, it's a staff turnover. That would be like saying Sam Pittman was fired at UT.

When it's really about the HC

Yes, but they play a tough schedule with no cupcakes or FCS schools so it evens out. Elko also did well at WF which is not an easy place to recruit stud defenders.

So we hire him for minimum wage and A&M has to make up the difference to 1.6 million??? I like it!

imtad16 · January 04, 2018, 06:00:18 pm

Wow. A&M is going to pay him 2 million a year. I know he was at Notre Dame so they had to pay him to get him to leave, but that seems a bit rich for Mike Elko.

According to USA Today that would make him now the second highest paid coordinator on offense or defense to Dave Aranda.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2017/12/06/highest-paid-assistant-football-coaches-worth-overpaid/918708001/

Notre Dame had the 46th ranked defense by yards and 32nd by points/game this season.
