  1. Haha, after all that Traylor fluffing you’ve been doing the last week…I’m pretty sure this was the exact point many of us have been trying to make.
  2. My first reaction was why the hell would he make that move, but after thinking about it, if they drop a big enough bag he’d have to consider it. He would probably only need to be in College Station for like two years before getting a good P5 job if he turned that offense around in a real way. The possibility of fast tracking your way to an SEC HC job plus millions of Aggie dollars would be hard to turn down. Hopefully his tenuous connection to the Sips makes it a non-starter for them.
  3. I was just wondering the same thing. We’d go after Urban hard again, maybe we get him if we aren’t competing against NFL jobs. FSU hired Norvell that off-season, he would have been a candidate. Campbell was already starting to slide a bit at that point but he would have come up. Kiffin was also hired that offseason, but I don’t really see him being seriously considered (even with his similarities to Sark). I can’t really remember who else we were clamoring for at the time aside from NFL pipe dreams like John Harbaugh or Shanahan.
  4. Need to save a small percentage for if they beat LSU, miss out on a few targets, and have to panic hire Robinson before NSD
  5. Like a little Listeria ever hurt anyone* *
  6. So if Traylor gets the A&M job, does Looch hype him up for being a branch on the Charlie Strong or the Chad Morris coaching tree?
  7. I’d like to check your math on 99%, but I won’t argue that slam dunk hires for elite programs are rare. There is usually going to be a certain amount of projection and hope that the guy will translate to the bigger stage. I’m not holding his Gilmer time against him, it’s just that it’s almost irrelevant in evaluating him as a candidate. Someone mentioned earlier, TX high school success hasn’t translated into college success. So he’s a coach in his mid 50s with his most relevant experience being 5 years as a cfb position coach and success in 4 years as a head coach in conference USA. He may kill it at his next job, but that’s a pretty thin resume. I have no idea what Saban’s age when he won his first title has to do with anything. There are zero similarities about their career trajectories.
  8. I didn’t bring up Urban to compare the two. Urban was 37 when he got the BG job. Hell, he’s only 4 years older than Traylor RIGHT NOW. I have no idea where the idea that Traylor is some young guy on the come-up is coming from. Some of y’all have been Traylor pilled by IT. I respect what he did at Gilmer and so far at UTSW. He’s a good coach. He’s closer to the end of his career than the beginning though, and he’s yet to prove that he can be an elite big program cfb coach.
  9. Yeah fair enough. Looks like the most recent one was in the 40s, but point taken. Utah was kind of a middling program not in a power conference, but they certainly had a hell of a lot more football tradition than UTSA
  10. Urban Meyer took a Utah program that had 1 ten win season in its 100 year history and went 10-2 and 12-0 in two years there. I don’t know how many top 50 teams he beat, but presumably a few as he beat several P5 teams (or whatever they were called then) during that run. That Traylor isn’t an Urban level slam dunk hire isn’t exactly a hot take. But it’s not unrealistic for a truly elite coach to break through from a small school.
  11. If it’s Elko, I wonder if he would take Kevin Johns with him. Would be a pretty meh hire, especially when he probably needs to nail the OC to have any big time success. He was with Kliff at Tech for a year and then Norvel at Memphis before he was hired at Duke. He also looks exactly like a penis.
  12. Doesn’t matter, got (insert new hireX that Looch is in charge of pumping as the true savior of aggy football here).
  13. I’ll have you know that BurntOrange&White has way more than 15,000 posts.
  14. Got the wins we needed while being shitty enough that only our dumbest fans could make it a QB controversy. No complaints here.
  15. Yeah, it takes time at least. Kiffin had to build his reputation back up in a group of 5 job before getting Miss. Muschamp quickly got another SEC gig, but it was a step down from Florida to South Carolina. Had he been successful at SC, he would have probably gotten big time opportunities again. But like you said, if he was a good enough HC coach to kill it there he probably wouldn’t have failed at Florida in the first place.
  16. How often do situations that you are describing even come up though? You are either talking about a blue blood program that is rolling but loses their coach to scandal/the NFL or taking over for Saban after he retires. If he actually got an offer from them, I don’t see how Schumann could turn the Ags down on the hope that he would be a candidate for a unicorn job opening up in the next few years. Without even a guarantee that he would be the hire if one of them even opens up.
  17. Going to need to update the QBU graphic
  18. Credit to Looch, he’s was right about the bolded part.
  19. Yeah, if that’s the level they aren’t going to take a current P5 head coach (Leipold/Elko). They’ll be looking at P5 coordinators and young group of 5 HC on the come up.
  20. There is no fucking way that Sankey is going to stick his neck out and basically accuse another conference of fixing their games. As blatant as it has seemed this season, there is no benefit to him or the SEC to kick that anthill. Do you really think the SEC loses any material value over the long-term if Texas (or OU) don’t make the CCG?
  21. I’m not certain on the rules there, but does he have to re-establish in bounds before he can touch it or before he can make a legal catch? If the latter, he sort of does re-establish himself in-play due to the bobble. Half the time time in this fucking conference it seems pretty clear that the refs also don’t completely understand the rules, so if they did fuck up that call I wouldn’t be shocked.
  22. Haha, he is just relentless with his trolling of Jimbo. You love to see it.
  23. This entire post is a straw-man, from the weird coin flip analogy that has zero relation to the analytics of going for a touchdown vs. attempting a fg to the fact that the two decisions being discussed weren’t that late in the game, both of the drives in question started in the 3rd quarter.
  24. So that’s not at all how that works. It’s so weird how posters just add 9 points in FGs to the point total without thinking that the context of those plays have an affect on how the game plays out. Part of the calculation of going for it inside the five is if you don’t get it, as long as your defense holds you immediately have great field position, almost back in FG range. After Sanders got stopped at the 1, defense forced a three and out and we started the next drive on the 49. It took us 4 plays to get back in the RZ. Shitty red zone offense popped up again but they started their next drive backed up again, threw a pick and then we finally got the touchdown. Sark does some dumb shit, but not settling for FGs from inside the 3 really isn’t one of them. “Take the points” is an antiquated take for the olds who don’t believe in math
  25. I thought they picked up the first down watching live, but for all the bitching from Houston (and Aggies for some reason), there hasn’t been a single definitive angle or screen grab I’ve seen that proves that the spot was bad. Because it doesn’t exist, otherwise it would be everywhere.
