The Aggies have won seven straight games since losing Mike Elko's debut against Notre Dame.

On <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOlL1SPO-0k" rel="nofollow"> The Matt Barrie Show </a> , Finebaum called Texas A&amp;M's start "one of the great stories in college football last year." He noted that it wouldn't be happening Mark Stoops left Kentucky to take the job in place of the fired Jimbo Fisher. "It's a very culture-related school, and Elko fits that culture," Finebaum said (h/t <a href="https://www.on3.com/college/texas-am-aggies/news/paul-finebaum-raves-over-mike-elko-after-texas-am-win-over-lsu/" rel="nofollow"> On3 </a> ). "It's a very button-downed culture. They're no-nonsense." Finebaum is sure Elko was taking a direct shot at Fisher when he <a href="https://x.com/CarterKarels/status/1850396513584783583" rel="nofollow"> said after the win </a> that he's "not a politician running this program" and "BSing everybody." <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3Vmx5e_0wOaZL4B00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3Vmx5e_0wOaZL4B00" width="1067" height="800" ><figcaption>ATLANTA, GA - JULY 18: Paul Finebaum, of the Paul Finebaum show reacts to a comment on air during the SEC Football Kickoff Media Days on July 18, 2022, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA.(Photo by Jeffrey Vest/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) <a href="https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/1241984193" rel="nofollow"> Icon Sportswire&amp;solGetty Images </a></figcaption></figure> "He just coaches football," Finebaum said of Elko. "And I know that's like a cliche you can get anywhere you want, but that's what they wanted out there because they want serious people. They want people that know how to do it, not who will tell you how it's going to be done." The ESPN analyst wondered if the Aggies are on the precipice of taking a substantial leap up the SEC hierarchy. Finebaum said "everything" could be on the line when A&amp;M plays Texax to close the regular season on Nov. 30. "We may be seeing something that we've been wondering about forever," Finebaum said. "And that's with all the resources that A&amp;M has — there's really only one school that has more resources, and that's the school down the road in Austin — can Texas A&amp;M ever break through? And they're on the verge of it because what we saw in the second half last night was unbelievable." <a href="https://thespun.com/college-football/paul-finebaum-applauds-deion-sanders-for-his-performance-in-2024" rel="nofollow"> Related: Paul Finebaum Applauds Deion Sanders For His Performance In 2024 </a></div></body>
