Texas A&M Expected to Hire Mike Elko as New Head Coach

Elko, known for his disciplined and organized leadership, is set to replace former coach Jimbo Fisher following a $75 million buyout.

Mike Elko, former defensive coordinator for Texas A&M and current Duke coach, is expected to become Texas A&M's new head coach.
Elko has been praised for his disciplined and organized leadership, qualities that Texas A&M is in need of following a decline under former coach Jimbo Fisher.
Elko's familiarity with Texas A&M and its current players is expected to speed up the transition process.
Elko led the Duke team to a 16-9 record in two years, including a 9-4 debut season, and has taken Duke to a bowl game for the second consecutive year.
Texas A&M fired Fisher earlier this month, paying a record buyout of more than $75 million.
