@The-Big-Boss as someone who has watched the Aggies for a few decades. Reed is one of the best QBs we have had in substantial time. I blame colin Klien for much more of last year than Reed
@collinmarlow9094 will be interesting to see how a change in OC can adapt to Reed's abilities. He got a lot better as a pocket passer, but he needs more options for check downs if those deep passes aren't connecting.
@collinmarlow9094 Come on blaming Collin Klein when y’all lost to any good competition y’all played is an excuse. Klein wasn’t the one throwing those picks lol
At hire I was so skeptical of this guy.. and now I can't see A&M without him. He still might have a lot of work to do, but simply the way he's changed the atmosphere has made me feel good. Just to be an Aggie and a fan of college football used to be a agonizing nerve-wreck. Possibly the greatest gift this guy has given to those not directly on his team is hope and confidence of leadership. I've grown to admire this guy. The way he conducts himself and this team should be a symbol for how to tackle life in general even beyond the sport itself.
Imma bama fan. And I’ll always back my coach , but coach elko makes me wish I could’ve played for him like he’s a really cerebral football coach. I like this guy a lot.
@g@garyheuschkel6640mm idk about 1/2 of a coach. He’s done more in this first two years at A&M than Sark did at Texas and has only been a head coach for a quarter of how long Sark’s been one. Seems like a better trajectory if you ask me
@kadinbaird9718things elko has done: lost to your biggest rival to ruin your undefeated season and a SEC CG appearance & then Embarrassed at home in playoffs
@n@nathanlong4435 do you have any reading comprehension at all? he made the playoffs and won 11 games in his second year. what was sark doiing in his second year?… going 8-5…which is funny bc that’s the same record ya’ll associate with aggies
Thanks for the kind words, but why are you even watching an interview of Elko? Not saying you shouldn't but it just seems odd to me. I guarantee you I won't be watching an interview of Sarkesian (or Venables, DeBoer, etc.)
I'm a Texas fan, but I respect the hell out of Elko, carries himself with such class. Every interview I ever hear, I feel like he makes so many comments that make me go crap aggies got a good one. He has turned A&M into a respectable rival and these games the last two years have been so much fun, with so much on the line for both teams. How great has it been having this rivalry back? Best part of having the Texas in the SEC
Please for everything don’t cancel the Louisville series. 2028 is the year I plan on finally coming down to college station. Texas A&M is sec team I root for and want to be able to visit. Georgia and Tennessee have already canceled with us in the past and the next 2 years
Elko is an elite coach. Hands down. Miami Hurricane lifelong fan here and I've seen up close a bunch of mediocre coaches. Elko is the opposite of that.
Mike missed on 2 things he needed in the portal A he needed a bonafide #1 de. A home wrecker B he needed a true #1 RB that can run inside. Sec you better be able to break tackles. C I'm still evaluating the and lb
I just dont get it, he is not a dynamic alpha, besides lots of $$, why are kidd going to A&M, campus is weird, game day atmosphere is average. Another hmmm... is why UT doesnt get EVERY recruit, place is wonderful.
if he wasn’t a good coach kids wouldn’t go to A&M it’s as simple as that. Why do you think all those players left during the Jimbo era…bc he was terrible. This guy is the opposite
@timdreslinski934there’s not very many programs in the country where no matter what time, who they play and how good they are that will have 100 thousand plus fans at every game. There are either none or very few campuses that are as involved in athletics than Texas A&M.
@JackSparrow-z3l3s also went 5-7 in his first year and 8-5 in his second but ig you’ll choose to ignore that. prolly the same fan who was hating on him during that time saying why did he even come here. you’re all the same lmao
21:58 this is exactly why college football is steering downhill. Those in a position, choose to do nothing. Dude is the head football coach for a major D1 program. Your voice carries weight. Use it for the betterment of the sport. Weak mindset
he’s done more in his first two years than Sark did in his first two at Texas. Has also only been a head coach for a quarter of Sark’s head coaching career and is on a better trajectory
"you only grow when you don't feel as if you're entitled to success " damn that's some life advice right there
Elko is the best. True football guy, no flash or witty soundbites. Pure football.. ❤
Elko has raised the bar and I'm an Elkoaholic!! Shout out OB.
Favorite series out there, appreciate yall traveling to all these spots and filming these 🫡
Well said
In Mike Elko we trust. Lead us to the ship!
I trust my man Elko, I don't know if I trust Reed.

@Atx512fool Was ND not considered "good competition?"
Biggest brain in the business. Elko is the best!

Do you happen to have a post to share after the Jimbo hire?
Imma bama fan. And I’ll always back my coach , but coach elko makes me wish I could’ve played for him like he’s a really cerebral football coach. I like this guy a lot.
It's funny how he starts every answer with "yeah." 😂 gig em
Hell yeah! I had a sneaking suspicion he was gonna interview Sarkisian and Elko.
Lol, why diminish Sark/TEXAS with 1/2 of a coach/program.

@kadinbaird9718 Consider the source.
If the OL is 80% as good as last season we will have a big year.
incredible message 8:40 for instant gratification zoomers😊
As much as I hate to say it. A&M has a great coach
He has to beat ya’ll first & win a playoff game to be considered it in my book
- Fan of 20 years
Thanks for the kind words, but why are you even watching an interview of Elko? Not saying you shouldn't but it just seems odd to me. I guarantee you I won't be watching an interview of Sarkesian (or Venables, DeBoer, etc.)
@timspeer5669 Because I’m a college football fan.
@Atx512fool I get it, sorry but I can’t stand TU. However, I’m still interested in what Sark has to say about not just his team but the sport
@seanhaydenlara7810 I can’t stand the gaggies either
Thanks,Josh! Great interview!
I see Josh hitting up Tech and the team in Austin
Heluva coach! Gig Em and thanks, Josh!
9:59 I’m sold
Love Coach Elko if I was a player coming out of high school I’d consider A&M hard
I’d wanna run through a wall for this man
Great interview JP
Yay Elko I love you
Such a great coach!
Man, I really believe in this guy. Hoping the Ags take that next step to the promised land this year. Gig ‘Em!!
I'm a Texas fan, but I respect the hell out of Elko, carries himself with such class. Every interview I ever hear, I feel like he makes so many comments that make me go crap aggies got a good one.

It's true, and it even props up all sports where the Aggies play the Longhorns.
Pate State and Mike Elko!
Loved this
Love the show and speaker series!! It would be cool to add players to this series as well!
Gig em coach Elko!
Nice
God bless
Gig em
I hope they go to Houston!
Please for everything don’t cancel the Louisville series. 2028 is the year I plan on finally coming down to college station. Texas A&M is sec team I root for and want to be able to visit. Georgia and Tennessee have already canceled with us in the past and the next 2 years
I am really loving you this speaker series. Would it be possible to get Lincoln Riley on the speaker series?
Salinas, California
working on it
@JoshPateCFBthank you so much for everything you do
Jesus loves you

C I'm still evaluating the and lb
This team is going to win a natty before Alabama they are so far ahead of them it an’t even close 😮
Are you okay?
Aggies inbound to Norman in November.
Boomer!…❤
I just dont get it, he is not a dynamic alpha, besides lots of $$, why are kidd going to A&M, campus is weird, game day atmosphere is average.

@kadinbaird9718 Great point, can't argue that, just I can't see leadership in him like I do other coaches. I'm a Buckeye, and I hate my coach
@timdreslinski934there’s not very many programs in the country where no matter what time, who they play and how good they are that will have 100 thousand plus fans at every game. There are either none or very few campuses that are as involved in athletics than Texas A&M.
Always good to see Sark's little boy
Neat! Just one troll comment. I expected more, but given it's source, it's irrelevance is worth probably 2 or 3 troll comments.
Well done!
@Agg1E91you gotta kinda love the rivalry between A&M and Texas no? Makes the future games so good.
elko is off to a better start in his first two years than Sark was tho?? so please enlighten me
@kadinbaird9718 which one has an SEC championship appearance, 2 CFP wins, and is 2-0 head-to-head
@JackSparrow-z3l3s also went 5-7 in his first year and 8-5 in his second but ig you’ll choose to ignore that. prolly the same fan who was hating on him during that time saying why did he even come here. you’re all the same lmao

Dude is the head football coach for a major D1 program. Your voice carries weight. Use it for the betterment of the sport. Weak mindset
I’ve seen enough, 8-4 incoming
Just like last year, right? smdh
@kevinlindstrom6752no like the previous 3 years lol
@ajesqueda?
11-1
Still won’t beat Texas
Came here just to say this guy sucks. Hope A&M enjoyed the back to back Ls to us and not scoring a TD against Miami 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
he’s done more in his first two years than Sark did in his first two at Texas. Has also only been a head coach for a quarter of Sark’s head coaching career and is on a better trajectory
I'll say sarks a good coach when he figures out how to beat Florida 😂 👍
@RonChandler-y6q great comment! What was the score on the Texas-A&M game this past year and year before last?
Gig em
