The Texas A&M Aggies have clearly found their guy for the future, and are confirming that fact with a reported massive new contract.

Per reports from On3, Texas A&M and head coach Mike Elko are finalizing a six-year contract extension that will make him among the Top-10 highest-paid coaches in college football.

Elko has led the Aggies to a 9-0 record this season, as Texas A&M appears primed for a run to the National Championship. A win in the title game would be the program's first since 1939.
