What's the h2h record between the 2 again?
That is valid point but not decisive. Elko has a track record of success everywhere he goes, reasonably experienced, improves the program he goes to and wins the games he should win.

If Elko was hired as the ND HC after BK left and Freeman went ND DC -> Duke HC -> A&M HC, and Elko went 9-4, 8-5, 5-1 (and Freeman went 9-4, 10-3, 4-1) you'd be on here talking about how you'd take Freeman over Elko all day.

Haha, that is a lot of ifs.
Particularly on the Freeman side.

Who is the last fat coach to win a title?

Ed O is a big boy but he's better built than Elko.

I would not call Coach O fat by any stretch, but it's got to be Fulmer. Now compared to Mangino, Elko, Bielema, etc. Fulmer wasn't all that bad in comparison back in 1998. Just watching Peerless Price burned calories, though.

I don't think anyone can touch Mangino in terms of girth. He should have been on Sopranos as an extra. Friedgen comes second but he's not close.

In awe at the size of this lad. Absolute unit

.
I look at that picture and the length of his arms relative to the fatness makes question how he does the most basic tasks. For example, the dude has to have a bidet because there is no way his arms are capable of cleaning up his ass after the destruction he surely brings to the toilet each and every day. Yet, is there a bidet strong enough to withstand the pressure from him sitting on it? I demand answers.

Ralph Friedgen + Charlie Weis = Mark Mangino.

Y’all forgetting the one true king of fat guy college football coaches:

There was a Modern Family spinoff in the works a few years ago that got canceled. It was going to be about Cam and Mitchell moving to Cam's hometown in Kansas so he could take a job as a football coach, a la Ted Lasso. I imagine it would look nearly identical to this.

Coaches can get their workout in quicker when they go morbidly obese. Can focus on the x’s and o’s more.
