What about Gundy? I don't think he's got any desire to leave oSu and he's about to be the unquestioned best coach in a shitty conference, but if aggy offers him $10-$15mm a year he'd have to at least listen. Plus, he hates NIL so he'd be hands off & likely let the rubes try to continue their antiquated bag game.

I don’t see it. Gundy knows what aggy truly is. just like with their recruiting, they do the best selling a lot of money and the theoretical potential of their program to outsiders who don’t look too closely at the weird as fuck culture and all the systemic issues with their program.

I mean it's what we have all assumed. Additioanally, he's saying there isn't the superstar OC or DC out there that's going to demand those high dollar contracts. 

I don't want Traylor near that program, but it says something if they're not even going to try to go after Kalen DeBoer. Becuase I can see him getting a high priced contract. Leipold makes 5 now. Is he going anywhere for less than 8? Kansas might be in position to contend in a now stable Big 12. Elko's buyout rumors might make him too expensive for A&M. We should probably make a list of the different coordinators or coaches we think they can got for the 5-6 per range, on a 4 year contract. Sark started in the 5-6 range, although he'll be getting a hefty raise after this season. 

Maybe they can tug mel tucker down to CS at a discount. Boy wouldn't that be delicious.

Gundy can’t recruit blue chip players, his program and culture is allergic to elite recruits. Gundy’s under dog, development based program won’t work at A&M because their ego couldn’t handle the painful growth period under Gundy. A&M would rather sign a 5* and touch themselves to all the off season articles about elite talent and then have them under perform rather then quietly develop someone who is a beast like Ollie Gordon.

I'm not sure this is entirely true. Conventional wisdom with his mass exuodus after last season had Gundy winning like 4-5 games. Instead he's arguably put forth his finest coaching effort to date, and he did it with cast-offs from the portal and other programs. And that turn around wasn't 3-4 seasons. It was immediate, and no one saw it coming this season.

Supposedly these are two of the issues with the shitshow in BCS right now:

1) The money isn't super excited about perceived options on the market. Questions being asked around assistant coaching options haven't been answered in ways that get anyone excited. There's the notion of meh-if-you-do and meh-if-you-don't. That's not going to open up a bunch of wallets.

2) All of their chest-beating, including Sharp and Liucci doing so repeatedly and loudly, about money is now a problem. Gentle outreach into the agent world has been met with "it's gonna cost ya" and the expectation that anyone willing to head to BCS would receive similar treatment in the new contract to what Fisher had - meaning no performance based clauses and no tempered buyout. Plus the money would be in Fisher's range or higher. 

They don't have that kind of money. Hell, no one does. Texas couldn't muster $26M now, plus another $8M to release assistants, then pay another $5-20M in someone else's buyout, then be on the hook for a fresh $10+M in HC salary, plus $5M to the requisite assistants, plus the annual $7M on top of that to Fisher. That shit is insane.

Perception is more important than anything else to ATM. They've now hoisted themselves by their own petard, in the aggiest of ways. They are either going to have to take the public beating of being mocked for keeping Fisher and not actually being nearly as loaded as they've claimed to be for years, or they're going to sacrifice numerous other projects and programs to get rid of the guy and hire a suitable replacement. If they try to middle it and fire the guy but make a cheap and unimpressive hire, they're still going to face enormous ridicule.

This is missing my point, it’s not about Gundy it’s about A&M. Even if Gundy could perfectly replicate his system at A&M,  they would blow it up before it could bare fruit because the Aggies couldn’t handle the lows. The Ags would flip the fuck out if Gundy was recruiting against Mizzou, Arkansas, and Kentucky and not Texas, Alabama and Georgia. They would be apocalyptic if Gundy lost a humiliating game against a bad team even if that loss is used as a building block.

The one year turnover in coaching staff is looking like 55 million plus.

It's funny that even if they hire a coach for 6-7 million they're still going to be paying 14-15 million a year in HC salary.

And you're missing MY point, apparently. You cited Gundy's "system" as not a fit with A&M culture, and the fact it's a reclamation project. And I countered that Gundy did a 1 year turnaround based out of spare parts no one wanted based entirely on his coaching accument. It can't be fucking culture when everyone has been there less than a year. The point is the growing paints might not be as long or painful as you'd think.

Quick rundown of where A&M stands with current commits & targets

 

By Ryan Brauninger

 

I'm just going to be frank with y'all: it wasn't easy coming up with the subject matter for this week's recruiting article.

 

It's not because we are void of angles to look at this thing, either.

 

Rather, it's because no matter how you mix it or shake it, it's all going to come out tasting the same right now.

 

In a vacuum, a three-point road loss to a top-10 Ole Miss team while on your backup quarterback would be a complete non-factor on the recruiting front. A snapshot of the game all by itself would indicate an uptick in offensive production, while the defensive performance would be written off as an outlier.

 

I'm sure Saturday's game has been presented as exactly that in the recruiting phone calls emanating from the Bright-Slocum Complex this week.

 

At least, it should be.

 

The snowballing problem is that this isn't a vacuum, and the wave of negative recruiting has turned into an avalanche.

 

By now, you're all very aware of the arrows being flung in the direction of the Texas A&M football program in its current state.

 

It has to be a tumultuous time in the recruiting war room right now, but the good news is that — at least at the time of pinning this article — we haven't been told there are any more commits on the verge of re-opening their recruitments.

 

That may be short-lived, though, as visits are being scheduled and phone calls are being taken.

 

Up to this point, you'd have to give the A&M coaching and recruiting staff major kudos for the work they've done. The effort to keep things afloat during the bye week was more than commendable, and the reason recruiting is still a high-stakes game for this cycle is because of the caliber of players they'd been able to get in the boat.

 

Still, they haven't taken advantage of their opportunities on the field that would have gone such a long way into rewarding the sweat equity they put in off of it.

 

Let's take a quick peek at the current situation with each commitment as well as a few of the staff's top remaining targets.

 

QB Miles O'Neill‍ - Nothing to report on as of now. Seems locked in. On the visitor list this week.

QB AJ Maddox‍ - Same as above. AJ appears to be solid.

WR Jaylan Hornsby‍ - Visited Rutgers last weekend.

WR Cameron Coleman‍ - Has taken multiple visits with Florida State upcoming.

WR Debron Gatling‍ - No visits. Commitment holding strong.

ATH/WR Ernest Campbell‍ - TCU looks to be the biggest competition. Frogs are pushing.

TE Eric Karner‍ - Hasn't visited anywhere since committing in the summer.

OL Ashton Funk‍ - Locked in. Michigan did attend a recent game, but he's an Aggie.

OL Coen Echols‍ - Very much expect an Auburn visit soon. Tigers have been pushing.

OL Blake Ivy‍ - Not much intel comes out on him. LSU and Texas had been involved.

OL Isendre Ahfua‍ - Haven't heard anything definitive, but we are watching Utah and Washington.

 

DL Dealyn Evans‍ - Remains committed but seems shaky. Still keeping an eye on Florida.

DL Dominick McKinley‍ - Lots of phone calls but no visits set as of now.

DL Gabriel Reliford‍ - Visited LSU and USC, with the Tigers being the biggest threat.

LB Tyanthony Smith‍ - Solid in his pledge. I've heard Texas is re-engaging.

LB Jordan Lockhart‍ - Seems solid. Should be at Texas A&M this weekend.

LB Tristan Jernigan‍ - Has visited Ole Miss, Miss State and Alabama. Watch out for Saban.

S Myles Davis‍ - Locked in right now. Let's see if he visits Texas later this month.

S Jordan Pride‍ - Recently visited Florida, but I think the Aggies can hold on here.

CB/ATH Terry Bussey‍ - My latest report sounded good for A&M, but his phone is ringing.

 

WR Micah Hudson‍ - Aggies are not out of the race and could get him back on campus. I'd lean toward Texas Tech still.

ATH/WR Drelon Miller‍ - Keeps giving A&M chances after his decommitment. LSU feels good about where they're at.

CB Kobe Black‍ - Supposed to be in College Station for an official visit this weekend. We'll see if that happens. He plays in Bryan on Friday.

ATH/HBack Hunter Andrews‍ - Expected to return to Kyle Field on Saturday. Visited Utah last week.

 

That's about as succinct as I could be with the current climate of each kid. I should say that the volatility of the entire situation could cause information to become outdated pretty quickly, though.

 

As always, we'll continue to do our best to give y'all the best lay of the land we can provide.

 

My best advice for recruiting fans would be to buckle up. Whatever happens, there are sure to be some twists and turns over the next couple of months

Assuming their funds are finite and Jimbo is fired, how do they allocate the remaining football funds (donor and institutional monies)? A high dollar coach, leaving less for NIL; or a lower cost up and comer, leaving more for NIL. 

Donor fatigue is a real thing when they’re paying $60+million for someone not to coach and the new hire isn’t exciting and motivating their fan base to fund a competitive NIL program.  Think that’s why they’re wishcasting an alum like Dan Campbell (?) or someone who ‘gets atm’ who’ll keep the donors happy and the money flowing.

[BurntOrange&White 39930]

The SA aggie contingency are all in on Traylor to A&M but I don't know how influential SA Aggies are in the scheme of Aggie donors.

All of those amounts and then add increased NIL needs once you fire the current guy try to keep the little talent they have left on campus while dipping into the transfer portal.  That's a lot of scratch. I've been telling people, it's not a matter of the money being there in aggie wallets, the difficulty will be enticing them to open them up for a guy like a Traylor.

And to your point - why would the new guy accept anything substantially less than Fisher got when they've been crowing about how rich they are? I cant imagine them being successful approaching a guy like a Traylor and offering him a 5 year $30M contract. He could literally name his price because the fallout and perception of him turning down the offer would be disastrous (for aggies, not me).

OSU got blown out by South Alabama and lost to a shitty ISU team, the season would already be over for A&M, the Ags would have been freaking the absolute fuck out and ready to fire the guy into the sun,  especially following an atrocious off season. OSU’s willingness to roll with the punches and having lesser expectations let’s Gundy succeed. Gundy and OSU are on course to have a better season than anything the Ags can  hang their hat on in a decade but nobody is discussing OSU in the same category as Texas and Bama and that would be seen as not enough in the eyes of A&M.

[Pato del Muerto 52487]

Sounds like their best choice of bang for the buck that actually looks like an attempt to affect change would be to turn over the defensive coaching staff, save probably Robinson. Hell they may need to promote him to DC to keep their dline intact.  
 

new oline coach would also help pacify their common clay fanbase if they could get someone that’s been effective recently. Probably another pre-retirement gig though for pay.  
 

but if the plan is stand pat and let him fuck shit up for another year and lose to Texas at home so you have the tailwind to fire him and spend- well that would be fun to watch.

[RomaVicta 29902]

 

This plays so well into Aggie pathology. They're not really bad. They've lost to good teams (except for the one that killed them). In a vacuum, all is okay.

But it's not a vacuum. A&M's okay-ness is being distorted by negative recruiting and a hail of arrows raining down on the Aggie football program. Recruits are thinking A&M maybe sucks really bad. Aggies know A&M is nearly perfect and oozing manly manfulness and honor codes and facilities and traditions! Thus, the opinions of these recruits is being driven down by mean ol' negative recruiters and, evidently, a large band of archers.

A&M sucking and staying the mediocre course is a narrative pushed by negative recruiting and those dildo-waving nancy boys in the liberal hell that is Austin.

Losing to good teams by close scores just isn't as much like winning as it used to be. Or so the t-sips would have you believe.

[Frank Drebin 5661]

What is great is that two terrible calls are the only reason they did not get blown out by Bama and Ole Miss,

The holding call against Ole Miss was a joke.  Nothing there.  Took a TD off the board that would have made it 21-0.  A couple plays later A&M blocks a FG and returns it for a TD.

Then the blindside block by Bama on their blocked FG that negated a TD that would have put Bama up by 14.

They don't ever think about those. Or the fact that against Miami they only scored by two short fields due to Miami special teams miscues and then in garbage time when Miami was down 5 starters on defense.

2) All of their chest-beating, including Sharp and Liucci doing so repeatedly and loudly, about money is now a problem.

This really sums up Texas A&M's history.

They have never been able to shut up, whether bragging about actual accomplishments or tangible assets, whether stretching the truth about how "great" they are, or making terrible decisions to prove their greatness to the world. Extending Sumlin and Fisher were awful decisions. Hiring a coach that was on the brink of firing while telling the world he was actually great was an awful decision. Continuing to demand that everyone watch them while they drove the car off a cliff, while hilarious, was an awful decision.

If they would ever shut the fuck up and be introspective (which I thought the 100 year decision posed a great opportunity for) they might actually become something greater. Then again, they would no longer be Texas A&M.

This really sums up Texas A&M's history.

They have never been able to shut up, whether bragging about actual accomplishments or tangible assets, whether stretching the truth about how "great" they are, or making terrible decisions to prove their greatness to the world.

What is great is that two terrible calls are the only reason they did not get blown out by Bama and Ole Miss,

The holding call against Ole Miss was a joke.  Nothing there.  Took a TD off the board that would have made it 21-0.  A couple plays later A&M blocks a FG and returns it for a TD.

Then the blindside block by Bama on their blocked FG that negated a TD that would have put Bama up by 14.

They don't ever think about those. Or the fact that against Miami they only scored by two short fields due to Miami special teams miscues and then in garbage time when Miami was down 5 starters on defense.

The cult does not engage in,  encourage or support critical thinking. It is their biggest turdition. Just listen to chin pubes for 5 minutes. It's always someone else's fault..you know..big bad SIP.

We beat the shit out of each other over FUPA, Vodka Tom, 7 Win Steve, etc. Shit, one of you degenerates is going to blow me up for incorrect grammer and spelling. Thank God.

Aggy never even considered the negative implications of giving a coach $100 Million guaranteed. Guaranfuckingteed.

Don't care. Got Jimbo. 

Squeeze harder aggy.
