I want to see Elko hire an actual special teams coach and go get a legit QB out of the portal. The special teams blunders are getting old and Reed is just not it. What do you guys want to see?

A committee of at least 3 booth officials that aren't all from the same state.

I do not see a world where Reed isn't our starter next year. But special teams, absolute must. Also a must, transfer portal.

I thought Elko had finally figured out the me tal toughness a drive problems that plagued us for decades. But the past 2 games have shown me that we have a long way to go yet.

Why not? Reed has sucked down the stretch. He is too inaccurate and you aren't going to win anything with him. I would question any coach that didn't at least try to get a better QB.

I also hope Elko learned a lesson from this whole Klein thing. If a coach takes another job before the season is over, just tell him to go. Don't let the guy kill you with his attention being split.

Trust me I'm not your opposition on this matter. After listening to Elko speak at the press conference, and knowing how Aggie football rolls, there's just not a world he isn't. Would love to be surprised though.

The offense ineptitude was 100% not Kleins fault

Knowing Aggie football, you are probably right.

We still need big/fast LBs that don't constantly hit the wrong gaps or take bad angles.

Take a page from tech. Go all in on Dline, LBs in the portal.

2 Oline from the Portal.

ST Coach.

We are good at skill positions, RB.

Never, ever, mention "maroon goons" again. It is forced and an example of trying too hard.

I disagree. Kleins playcalling was very suspect down the stretch. The offense was very aggressive for most of the season and then went completely conservative the last 2 games. That's on Klein. The 1 deep pass against Texas, we drew a PI. The one deep pass against Miami, we got a big gain. Those were the only 2 deep balls we threw the last 2 games. That's on Klein. I do agree that Reed had a lot to do with the ineptitude, but Klein was just as terrible.

A winning team all the way to a natty. We would have to do whatever it takes, but many will dribble down both legs as " that's not the AGGIE character, it's not our way and compromises our code." Okay. We end taking it, repeatedly. What do you want to do, Win, or lose with whatever might've been.

You really think Klein's playcalling was the big issue today? Or you think suddenly having a new coach call the plays last minute would be any better than letting Klein finish the season? Genuinely curious

Obviously during the week of the Texas game. He was hired right after that game.

I'd be fine with the next man up. At least you know they would give their full attention.

Klein called the same type of game before or after his interviews. I dont think distraction is it. Its the Bill Snyder playbook plain and simple.

I disagree. They were much more aggressive on offense until the last 2 games.

Was it lack of aggressive style, or was it the opposition Defenses in the last 2 games?

Regardless of Klein leaving for KSU, he should not have coached this game after the Texas game.

No more hype. No more hype videos.
Win the last HOME Game and maybe try and score 1 (ONE) offensive TD in the last home game.

A quarterback who can hit an open receiver would be nice. A quarterback who can hit an open receiver in stride is apparently too much to hope for.
I resolve in 2026 to be more tolerant and respectful of trolls and emotionally fragile, overly pessimistic posters so they don’t run crying to the mods and have me banned for three days.

NEVER keep a coach after he has accepted another assignment. Thank him and send him along. Didn't we learn a lesson from the DL coach who took the job at Syracuse, stuck around to poach a bunch of recruits, then took them with him? Klein may have called plays, but he didn't have a plan at all. Anyone can call plays, it takes someone who is focused to create a plan.

We absolutely must have a better RB. Moss is fine but always hurt. Can't trust him. Owens is terrible, he may be fast but he has zero acceleration or ability to make someone miss. Just so bad.

We will have to replace KC and hopefully that freshman WR who got hurt in preseason is it. He was tearing it up. Craver is meh.

Cement shoes York has just got to go. Not even going into his lack of size, he is just too slow and (at least to my eyes) he is constantly in the wrong gap.

Don't switch kickers in game 11.

Last - never pay a guy until he has actually finished the job. Elko got to 10-0 as a result of a terrible schedule, now we have 50million to pay him
