Considering A&M hired Elko less than 48 hours after Dukes final regular season game, I don't think that argument holds any weight.


Your argument fails completely.

Jimbo Fisher was fired on November 5, 2023.

Mike Elko was announced as the new hire on November 26, 2023.

Any back-channel negotiations took place over a period of 3-4 weeks at most.

David Pierce was fired on June 23, 2024.

___________ was hired on June 24, 2024.

Any back-channel negotiations took place over a period of 3 months.

Let me put this in simpler terms.

Had A&M done what you did, they would have started negotiating with Elko at the beginning of the 2023 football season.

Back-channel negotiations can happen a year in advance. Doesn’t always materialize, but more and more schools want ducks in a row and a quick transition rather than a long, public search.

Considering you actually have no idea what took place and when negotiations started, its a very fair argument.

While Duke was still in their regular season Elko was obviously contacted with about leaving (A&M logic) and negotiations had started. Pot meet kettle.
