00:00Here's Mike Elko, head coach of Texas A&M.
00:06Now, he had a big mess to clean up there, right, Scotty?
00:08Jimbo Fisher did an awful job the past couple of years.
00:12Elko says, there's a place to come play football.
00:15We're a hard-nosed football team.
00:17We're not giving you any kind of double talk.
00:19Yeah, I think it's the way we talk to the young people.
00:23I think the things that we talk about, the messaging,
00:26how we bring really good people into the building.
00:30We talk about doing things together.
00:32We talk about culture.
00:34And everyone talks about it, but then we go out
00:36and we live it every day.
00:37And I think we back up our actions.
00:39We're very honest.
00:40We're very open.
00:42And this is a real program.
00:44It's not fake.
00:46It's not a politician running this program,
00:48talking fast and BSing everybody.
00:50This is a real program.
00:52And for all the recruits out there, this is a real place.
00:54And if you want to be really good at football,
00:56this is a really good place to be.
00:58Did you think that Jimbo was a politician ever at A&M?
01:03I just thought he made too much money.
01:05I don't know if I agree with the politician side of Elko's
01:10comment there, but the fast talking.
01:12Like, Jimbo would always be like a fast talker, right?
01:16Like, he'd try to work his way around.
01:18Like, people were giving him heat for how bad the team was.
01:21And he was very slick talking.
01:23And I'm sure he was probably that way with the kids,
01:25which is, I think, what Elko was referring to there
01:28in terms of how he talked to recruits in that same way.
01:32But I-
01:33Do you think that he'll coach?
01:35Because he said he wants to come back to college football,
01:38Jimbo Fisher.
01:39He took a year off or whatever.
01:41Where do you think he would end up?
01:43I was thinking, like, along the lines of, like, you know,
01:46what kind of place do you think he ends up?
01:48Because I thought for one minute,
01:49I thought would Florida State ever want him back?
01:51Because Norvell has screwed that up nice
01:54and juicy down in Tallahassee.
01:56But they went from undefeated to one in seven.
01:59I'd say he's not long for this world.
02:02I actually think that Jimbo did such a bad job
02:06at Texas A&M that he's going to have to go
02:08to a second tier team.
02:12Like, I'm not talking-
02:14He's not going to get, like, a power job.
02:17Like, one of the 10 best jobs in the country,
02:19like he was lining up for after winning at Florida State.
02:23I think he'd have to go to that second level of teams
02:28and win with one of them before he goes
02:31and steals money from somewhere else.
02:33And he might be done altogether, to be quite honest with you.
02:36I don't know about Jimbo.
02:38If he wants to coach, he'll get a job,
02:39but I don't think the jobs he wants
02:42are going to be calling his phone.
02:44I think that he's going to have to adjust
02:46what his expectations are
02:48in terms of where he's going to be.
