Texas A&M is no stranger to signing its football coaches to market-shifting contracts. It hasn’t always worked out for the Aggies, but few in College Station should have an issue with the massive extension that the program is finalizing with coach Mike Elko on Saturday morning.
According to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde, Texas A&M and Elko are nearing a six-year extension that will make him one of the sport’s highest-paid coaches. PerYahoo’s Ross Dellenger, the deal, which could be announced as soon as today, is worth “upwards of $11 million per year.”
