Now you can add another to that list. Hue Jackson just took the Grambling State job.
boorish ruffian
Duke has an inferiority complex with respect to Harvard, Princeton, and Penn. This suggested Elko since he's a Penn grad. But Garrett played QB at Princeton and transferred to Columbia. He still holds the Ivy League career record for completion percentage.
Pretty good results all around if they hold. Clemson hopefully gets weaker, Duke hires what could be an absolute dumpster fire, I don't have to cheer against Gattis or Elko. Would've been ok with Gattis at UVA I guess, but never want a coach I like at Duke.
Miami is the only Coastal vacancy that was a definite upgrade and they're not even on our schedule going forward.
Don't understand how a reasonable person (or group of people) could look at the background of Mike Elko, Josh Gattis and Jason Garrett, and determine that Jason Garrett is the most likely to succeed as a head football coach at Duke. Jason Garrett has never coached on the college level. His last exposure to college football was as a player at Columbia more than 30 years ago. Even if Garrett (who was just fired mid-season by the Giants for being a crappy OC) had demonstrated transformative X and O skills as a football coach, there are so many elements of college football that are night and day different than the NFL that Garrett's complete lack of experience on the college level would/should make it impossible to rate Garrett as the preferred hire over Gattis and Elko. Can't wait to see the make up of Garrett's staff.
Jason Garrett has a bit of a likeness to Lincoln Riley
