Bill Murray retired as Duke football coach following the 1965 season. Since then 10 men have helmed the Duke program. Only Steve Spurrier had a winning record at Duke.
Mike Elko will try to become the second.
Elko was introduced to the Duke football community Monday morning. He certainly said all the right things and made a positive impression. He’s coached at small, private schools before and he knows the challenges and the possibilities.
Elko says Duke is a special place with a chance to establish a special program.
AD Nina King introduced Elko and said the kind of things that one would expect an AD to say about any new coaching hire.
