Texas A&M struggles amid criticism over offseason coaching decisions
Summary

Texas A&M is currently 2-2 and 0-2 in SEC play, facing crucial matchups ahead. After a disappointing 35-6 loss to LSU, head coach Mike Elko's offseason hire of Holmon Wiggins as offensive coordinator has come under scrutiny. Despite previous successes with former OC Collin Klein, Texas A&M ranks 112th in total offense and last in explosive plays this season. Critics suggest the decision to promote Wiggins, lacking experience in play-calling, is a major factor in the offensive struggles. The team's next game against Arkansas will be pivotal for Elko's coaching future.
