Mike Elko - Defensive Coordinator

[NDVirginia19]

Seriously Fuck Swarbrick.. You can't expect to win championships if you aren't going to pay 1.8 million. That's not even fucking top dollar money!!! Fucking absurd. On top of that you fucking cheap ass, you're moving away what was supposed to be senior-day, a nice and easy game against Syracuse, to a game where no students can go see it. Go fucking suck a bag of dicks. Now without Elko we'll probably get our ass whooped on my senior day. Thanks a lot you piece of shit Swarbrick

Pretty sure he's an offensive guy, which makes his anemic LSU offenses even worse.

and he's a package deal with Hugh Freeze now apparently.

very hireable

The $1.8M is what Peter Thamel is reporting as the minimum he'll be making. The contract apparently has growth and incentives.

This tweet is meant for the recruits.

Deep down Polian must be cussing himself for agreeing to work for such a cheap ass employer.

It's funny. Miles is an offensive guy, but the minutiae of the game has passed him by to such a degree that he is now packaging himself with another offensive guy, because his original offense is so bad these days.

 

[ThePiombino]

Does anyone definitively know what he was making at ND? I just want to be able to put a # to my anxiety.

Yeah but I mean they all do... Most contracts you can compare at face value. I'm sure Arnanda or whatever has the opportunity to make above his 2.5.

 

[IrishLax]

I have a feeling this is what is going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if the bullet points of the contract details aren't being worked out as we whine.

Some are saying that he's on his way to A&M....

So much for feelings. :-(

Les thinking he gotta align himself with a hip young spread offense guy to increase his credibility. then he goes and picks freeze..too funny

Amusing images and gifs are an effective coping mechanism, right?

having Elko come in for 1 year and then leave is like getting the christmas present you always wanted from Santa Claus and then having him come back the next day to rob it from your gaff while you sleep :/

Right, so it makes it pretty uninformative to say, "I think Elko makes 1.5 at ND, and will only be getting 1.8 at TAMU."

It's hard to believe we let him leave for that amount, or even that he'd go for that amount.

 

[irishff1014]

Welp at least we had one good year. This was the best hire Kelly made. I am not sure which DC’s are out there but I am not sure I have faith making another home run hire. And reports that Lea probably wont stay unless he gets a promotion. Great start for 2018. NOT

F OFF LOY!!!

 

[koonja]

Hire Jimmy Lake to coach Safeties and DBs. Lyght can be corner coach or whatever he wants to be called.

Let Lea coach linebackers and DC.

The Aggies playing Krampus:

 

[Kingbish01]

ND Gave up 150 Points over their last 5 games. Bye Felicia

 

[ThePiombino]

ND Gave up 150 Points over their last 5 games. Bye Felicia

Which was an exponential improvement over BVG's last 5 games lol

 

[NorthDakota]

ND Gave up 150 Points over their last 5 games. Bye Felicia

How many of those points were because the offense couldn't move the ball effectively and/or turned the ball over in bad areas? +/- 50?

Not to mention....this was year 1.

 

[MNIrishman]

Pretty sure he's an offensive guy, which makes his anemic LSU offenses even worse.

But his defenses were very solid and I thought he knew how to recruit. He was a head coach for a long time. I wouldn't stereotype him as offensive anymore.

HAHAHAH ... remember when Bogs was telling us that Swarbrick was putting together this staff in anticipation of firing Kelly and keeping it for the new coach?
