Texas A&M coach Mike Elko is staying with the Aggies.

Sources told Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger that Elko is set to sign a new deal with the school that will make him one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in the country. The Aggies are 9-0 and No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings through the first 11 weeks of the season.

Elko is in his second season with the Aggies after Jimbo Fisher was fired with two regular-season games to go in the 2023 season. The Aggies went 8-5 in 2024 and have already eclipsed that win total this season.
