Duke is turning to Texas A&M defensive coordinator Mike Elko to turn around its football program after a two-year slide and a winless Atlantic Coast Conference record. The school announced Elko's hiring Friday night, ending a nearly two-week process to hire the replacement for David Cutcliffe. Sports first reported that Duke had reached an agreement with Elko. Elko, 44, has spent the past four seasons as defensive coordinator and safeties coach at Texas A&M, he has also worked as a coordinator at Notre Dame, Wake Forest and Bowling Green in the past decade.
