Unless Elko has a burning desire to coach in the NFL, it would seem very unlikely that the Bengals would be willing to beat, or even match that salary. And, while his defense at A&M was 2nd in the Nation versus the run this season, they were 107th in defending the pass, resulting in 34th Nationally in total defense.
With the NFL being a pass-heavy league, I'd like to see someone who put a little more emphasis on shutting down the passing game.
Great point, didn't know his pass Defense was that bad.
Wanting Rex Ryan, Tressel or Steele as you mentioned in the other thread. Lots of options still.
