Texas A&M’s expensive decision to fire coach has paid off so far, and new head coach Mike Elko seemingly criticized the program that Fisher constructed following their win Saturday — and used his press conference to advertise what the program has become since he took over.
“I think it’s the way we talk to the young people,” Elko told reporters after Texas A&M defeated LSU and entered Sunday in first place in the SEC standings. “I think the things that we talk about, the messaging, how we bring really good people into the building. We talk about doing things together. We talk about culture. And everyone talks about it, but then we go out and we live it every day. And I think we back up our actions.
“We’re very honest. We’re very open. This is a real program. It’s not fake. It’s not a politician running this program, talking fast and BS-ing everybody. This is a real program. And for all the recruits out there, this is a real place, and if you want to be really good at football, this is a really good place to be.”
