DBR Bites #28 - Elko Exits Duke

Under the cover of night, Mike Elko boarded a plane and put Durham in his rear-view mirror. After 2 years of great success at Duke, he is moving on to Texas A&M, one of the big power-players in college football. I guess this is what it feels like when Duke basketball swoops in and grabs a stud recruit at the last minute. The DBR Podcast gang (including a guest appearance by Sam Klein) discuss the impact of Elko's decision from both a rational and an emotional standpoint. The guys have plenty of thoughts on how this all went down, including comments on what Elko was apparently saying to Duke at the same time as he was talking to A&M. After a quick break, the podcast crew looks at some of the names being bandied about as the next head coach at Duke. We think this is a candidate search that needs to go very fast as Duke needs a leader in place to keep recruits and transfers committed to the program. Learn more about your ad choices.
