Report: Texas A&M DC Mike Elko in the mix for open FBS head coaching job

Mike Elko joined the Texas A&M staff this season as first-year head coach Jimbo Fisher’s defensive coordinator and led the Aggies to a good year on that side of the ball.
However, he could now be on his way out of College Station, as he is reportedly in the mix to land an open Group of 5 coaching job.
Per FootballScoop.com, Elko is a name that is being mentioned in connection with the open Temple head coaching job:
Sources have said that Temple has shown a clear preference for defensive-minded coaches to this point. While there are likely other candidates as well, two names that sources specifically mentioned are of interest in Philadelphia are Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko and Miami defensive coordinator Manny Diaz.
It’s still early, but Temple is going to need to act quickly to land a new head coach, so we’ll see what that means for Elko and the Aggies.
