Texas A&M is finalizing a contract extension with Mike Elko that would make him one of the five highest-paid coaches in college football, ESPN reported Saturday.
The third-ranked Aggies (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) are off to their best start since 1992 heading into Saturday afternoon's clash with South Carolina (3-6, 1-6) in College Station, Texas.
Elko, 48, is in his second season at Texas A&M and has a 17-5 record there. He was 16-9 in two seasons at Duke from 2022-23 before replacing Jimbo Fisher.
His new deal is in its final stages, per the report.
According to USA Today, Elko's salary this season is $7 million. He would need to earn more than $10.8 million to crack the top 10, per the publication's coaching salary database.
Kirby Smart of Georgia tops USA Today's list at $13.3 million.
