Texas A&M searching for next R.C. Slocum? Jeff Traylor, Mike Elko fit bill

Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork rhetorically asked the $76 million dollar question at his press conference on Sunday as the Aggies formally looked ahead following Jimbo Fisher’s firing. “Can we find the next R.C. Slocum who can be here for a long time and win championships?” 

If the Aggies are serious about that goal, the Texas A&M search is a two-man race between UTSA’s Jeff Traylor and Duke’s Mike Elko. The other person who’d fit that bill is Detroit Lions head coach and Texas A&M alum Dan Campbell, but not many NFL coaches would trade lives with a college football coach given the recruiting requirements year-round.
