Elko answered this is the press conference yesterday - said they're in a good spot with it but will focus on it after the season.
I would imagine he's got someone lined up but doesn't want to make it a distraction.

Buckeye fans upset. They think they lost to IU because their OC was distracted after accepting head coach job at USF and wasn't focused on the game.
Kind of scares me about our situation.

No point in talking about a decision that won't happen until after the playoffs we've all be begging to make for years.
It is only about our future success for the coming years....
I get that everyone cares far more about CFP. But Elko certainly isn't ignoring this till post season. And I know Klein isnt ignoring his coach staff needs either...all while trying to also be our OC.
I expect Elko to have his man prior to CFP ending and making that announcement almost immediately following any season ending loss.
Vital to recruiting too. But yes....let's ignore it. Lol
#1 recruiting class for 2027 and just added another kid yesterday.

It will be okay Veruca Salt. Take a breath from the tantrum. It isn't about you.

The guy they shoujd hire is Tech's OC, Leftwich.
Not to mention he has already commented on it and said they knew this was coming and have been planning accordingly. He knows what he is doing.Texas 8&4 said:
Elko makes a lot of money to handle the program. He should be trusted to make those decisions when and how he sees fit.

I am surprised there is almost zero talk about OC candidates. I keep hearing about Wiggins being promoted but I kinda feel like that's a mistake without a very thorough national search.
I liked the youth and vigor of Klein. I know Wiggins is also named Co-OC for his future. But feel at only 2 years under Klein, it isn't enough.
Certainly do not want to loss him as excellent WR coach and recruiter but at what cost to the offense?
Tough position for Elko. I would prefer to see him give Wiggins some guarantee at next OC opening but fill this current vacancy with a known and upcoming commodity.
Thoughts?

I had the same concern, but don't worry. We've been assured by TexAgs posters that our coach (who has to assemble a coaching staff, meet current players that could transfer, recruit new players, and make a zillion decisions about his head coach position at his alma mater) wasn't distracted before the tu game and won't be distracted during the playoff run.

Leftwich is a good, but not great coach/play caller, imho (at least at this point), and frankly I am skeptical he really adapts much to the talent/league/strengths/weaknesses etc. The problem is he really doesn't generate a rushing game with his strategy/system.
I don't care what one calls it, but the Ags aren't gonna win the SEC without an outstanding rushing game. With recruiting not skipping a beat I suspect the team/players know who the 'new guy' is already.

An OC I'd want even more thsn Leftwich is right next door: Sam Houston's HC Phil Longo. You may recall he used to be UNC's and Ole Miss' OC.

Sam had one of worst offenses in football this year.

HAHAHA first of all we don't have the #1 2027 class and second even if we did it will not remain there over the next 12 months. We finished #10 this year behind fellow SEC teams t.u., Bama, UGA and Tenn. With that being said if we do not conduct a nationwide search for OC then we are not serious about getting better.
