Mike Elko Takes Over as Texas A&M's New Head Coach

Elko's Seven-Year Contract Includes Incentives for College Football Playoff Success

Mike Elko, former Duke coach, has been introduced as the new head coach for Texas A&M, replacing Jimbo Fisher who was fired on November 12.
Elko, who previously spent four years as defensive coordinator with the Aggies, has been given a seven-year, $42 million contract that runs through January 31, 2030.
The contract includes nine incentives, five of which are related to the College Football Playoff, potentially totaling $10.5 million if he leads the Aggies to a national championship.
Elko's contract also includes a provision to add an extra year if he accomplishes any of the five postseason incentives.
Elko has expressed his commitment to fulfilling the potential of the program, emphasizing the need for hard work from now until the kick-off next September.
