    I don't want athletic directors involved in assistant hires. I love CDC but no reason he should be involved. 

    In what world does CDC know about the recruiting landscape, schematic fit with Herman's system, and other criteria used to evaluate assistant hires? This is why athletic director's should stay out of assistant hires. Athletic directors hire the head coaches that are the "experts" or "knowledgeable" ones when it comes to assistant hires. If the head coach makes bad assistant hires that's on the head coach and justification for why the head coach isn't the right guy for the job. 

    But if a coach is a problem on staff, CDC needs to know or be involved and can't rely on the football coach to keep someone around that needs to go.

    CDC knows who needs his help and who does not. Herman not only likes to discuss every detail with CDC but he also needs it. He's been a HC 4 years and they both took over a fractured program/AD. CDC was very active with Patterson at tcu and will always be hands on here which is a very good thing. Herman has showed us his smarts, passion, immaturity and told us he is learning on the job. CDC also knew Herm when he was getting started at Rice, you want him keeping Herman on his toes.

    Eddie Reese, I am sure that conversation is very different....CDC is a pro.

    Herman left with his own devices will be a victim of his own hubris/arrogance.  A strong voice (CDC) used as checks and balances will keep the stupid from coming out hopefully.

    Staff

    A&M staff is back on the road this week, and it started last night with a trip to Horn Lake (MS) LB Nakobe Dean. The highly touted backer got to spend time with Jimbo Fisher and other A&M staffers as the Aggies continue to make their case for Dean to end up in College Station. A few things playing into A&M's favor here: 1) the Engineering school 2) the Depth Chart 3) the manner in which A&M has sold the previous two and how the Aggie Network ties in. 

    Multiple reports out today have Nakobe on record saying he's mentally started to cut some schools out of his previous top 7. I believe the Aggies have made the final cut, but I wouldn't call them the leader. I feel confident Dean plays in the SEC, but I'm not sure I'm ready to go out a limb and say where. 

    A&M staffers will also check in on one of the top players in the northeast as Brooklyn (NY) edge man Adisa Isaac will get a visit. This will be the second time Isaac has hosted A&M in the past two weeks. The Aggie staff will also check in on LB commit Andre White while in the region.

    I've been told today that Dyersburg (TN) LB Chris Russell will sign in February. 

    Another expected February signee is Amite (LA) DT Ishmael Sopsher. A&M DT Coach Elijah Robinson has been running point on this one, and he's probably the main reason the Aggies are still in the discussion here. Robinson was in New Orleans last weekend to see Sopsher win the state championship. My personal opinion as of today is that Sopsher would like to play for Robinson and A&M, but the pressure from the folks around him ultimately lands in him Baton Rouge or Tuscaloosa. Dave Aranda is working hard for the Tigers. 

    We are aware that JUCO CB Dreshun Miller has semi announced a commitment to West Virginia on his Instagram page. Like I said in the unsticked thread, LSU hasnt really considered Miller a commitment (at least not a firm one) in a while. I know that as of late last week, he was still in communication with the Aggie coaching staff. I think the next week or so will answer whether or not Miller is a viable candidate to become a part of this 2019 class. 

    Oregon CB commit Elijah Blades does remain in contact with A&M staffers. There's still plenty of work to do, but this group of coaches is plenty equipped to take on the load. Regardless of what happened with Carter, Blades has always been a highly coveted prospect in this class. 

     

     

    Dean plans on being a rock surgeon correct?

    I understand that the payoff for not showing up for the game, if A&M wants to pursue, is $100,000. 

    So would it be worth that much to not have to spend 24 hours in B-CS?  Tough call

    Of course they will pursue the 100k. Because the "richest" school in the country will pitch a fit.

    Is this a typo with the double canned, or am I missing a joke completely? Assuming you're serious...with your mouth?

    Sometimes with Louisiana hot sauce, sometimes on a saltine with hot sauce? Not sure I'd rule out mustard as well. 

    I doubled up the word canned in error...my bad.

    Ok, so eaten straight out of the can and onto whatever....got it. 

    Never tried these before.

    RE: Jeffrey Carter's visit to Bama this weekend:

    Brauninger: "We're gonna have to weather the storm on that. His camp says everything is good here, but strange things happen in Tuscaloosa..."

    Looch: "Yea, I'm not a fan of how they recruit over there. I'm not a fan of any of the way how they recruit, but that's the battles you fight."

     

    Sounds like they're ready to be butthurt. Starts at 24:10

    The rest of the show is about them sucking each other's dicks about their impending class, so no reason to listen to the rest - unless you're into that kinda thing.

    So question for those who follow Texas HS football.  Our QB commit, Chase Griffin, was just named Texas Gatorade HS football POY.  But he remains only the 162nd rated Texas HS player, and out of the top 1000 nationally.  What are his shortcomings?  Honestly don't know too much about him, but his tape looks really good.

    His daddy has money.

    Urban Meyer stepping down for health reasons, eh? How does this affect our ability to land Bru McCoy knowing now that Urban is angling to be head coach at USC in 2020?

    Bru is weighing his options and is waiting for 2020 to make his decision.

    As a fan obviously I’d like to see teams meet each other at full strength in the postseason. But I don’t see how I could get mad at a young person who likely came from a less-than-privileged background, who has worked their ass off since like age six to get to a point where they have a very real chance to make millions of dollars, who chooses not to risk all of that to play in one more college football game. Even if they want to play, they might reasonably feel they owe it to their family to make the smart business decision when so much is on the line.

    And it’s worth bearing in mind that the kind of players who leave early have generally contributed a ton to the program in the time they did play. Even without the bowl game the investment in their scholarship has paid off more than most. 

    Good point but to turn it on its head,  when Christian McCaffrey does it,  does that change your mind? I'm guessing he came from a good background where money wasn't a problem.
