And not a moment too soon as the Jimbo era was ROUGH.
And he will be counting his millions in retirement for years to come.
But the Aggies have a crop ton of money at least & it was clearly time for new energy.
Despite that fiasco, there are plenty of reasons for optimism.
Then he went to Duke and somehow won 16 games in two years?!?!?
Elko also inherits a pretty talented roster and this is far from a rebuild.
Elko made a strong offensive co-ordinator hire in Collin Klein from Kansas State.
There’s a lot to like about Weigman.
The former five star QB has a strong arm, is fairly mobile and takes care of the football.
But can he stay healthy?
A&M’s offensive line still is a reason for concern.
The RB room is deep and there is some talent at WR & two solid TEs.
- How much can Mike Elko improve the defense?
Look out for Purdue transfer Nic Scourton.
The 280 pound defensive end led the Big 10 in sacks last season and is ferocious.
The Aggies front 4 could be one of the best in the country.
The secondary is more of a concern especially at cornerback but Safety Bryce Anderson provides some hope.
- Will the Aggies ever win on the road?
Texas A&M’s last road win was in OCTOBER of 2021 at Mizzou?!?!?
I had to do a double take when I saw that stat.
McNeese is a cream puff in Week 2.
Then A&M hits the road for The Swamp.
Until the Aggies win on the road, I gotta see it to believe it.
They fall in Gainesville to a desperate Billy Napier who is fighting to keep his job.
Mizzou comes to town the following week but they are feeling a little overrated.
And I DO NOT like going against the Aggies at Kyle Field.
A&M gets it done.
And they completely blow it as they so often do when they remember in November.
As long as Weigman stays healthy at QB, this will be a fun year in Aggie Land.
