They're probably going to do something asinine like hire Art Briles.  That would fit our current reality just perfectly.

Looch preparing the fan base for Chip Kelly, Mike Gundy, Elko, Traylor, or a coordinator. Chip Kelly is probably going to get fired.

It cracks me up that Liucci, the spokesman for their athletics, looks like a guy pushing a stolen shopping cart full of crap picked from the trash, to his panhandling spot at a busy intersection

Loochi is a fascinating train wreck of fashion. As you note, his clothing style is straight out of bum fights, but his chin puff goatee facial hair suggests a fedora that never appears, instead opting for a truck stop lot lizard ball cap. I can only imagine he smells like BO and a lot of Nautica.

Is lanning a good coach? Haven’t seen their games. Seems that a lot of them are good there but not their next stop.

I am surprised by the hype.  Oregon is Lanning's first head coaching gig.  He hired a bunch of recruiters (as did Cristobal before him). There have probably only been a handful of games in his tenure where he hasn't had a player talent advantage.  1st game against Georgia they (UGA) definitely had more talent.  UW last year could have been more talented...or at least pretty even.  Last year he obviously lost the 1st game against Georgia.  He also lost to UW (seemed like their staff out coached the Duck staff) and Oregon State [I can't remember all of the details...(Bo Nix played injured?)]. He also lost to UW again this year with 3 or 4 aggressive (his spin on it) 4th down calls.

 

He is doing a much better job than Cristobal.  He has made some aggressive moves (4th downs) that he stands by, but has been really good at managing the clock. He is young and pretty good but still gaining experience.

 

AD was being interviewed on local radio about the extension.  The AD tried to downplay the way Kelly, Taggart and Cristobal left being a direct cause of the extension with a bigger buyout but it seems pretty plausible.  The AD was selling Lanning as impressive with his vision for NIL, Transfer Portal etc. and the way that college football is going. Lanning has coaching potential and an upside, but with the talent advantages he has had, it is still too early to really know conclusively.

Yes, the State gave UTIMCO control over aggy’s portion of the PUF/AUF because they regularly fucked up so much with the State’s money.

will repeat as often as necessary.....  the PUF is 1000% the property of The University; the AUF is the annual disbursement of surplus earnings; 2/3rds of the AUF goes to the Texas system, 1/3rd goes to the aggy mothership & prairie view, and 100% of all AUF payments are for "excellence" programs, university "administration" and payments against PUF-compliant bonds

the Branch College that started calling itself a University in 1948 only "owns" the PUF through it's 100% subsidiary branch status which was never amended in the Texas State Constitution, despite the declarations of UTIMCO itself that attest to aggy "owning" 1/3rd of the PUF

aggy owns 0% of the PUF

aggy gets 1/3rd of the AUF

aggy is not supposed to spend the AUF on paying off the tacklebox, NIL, or jimbo buyouts

Bjork is so stupid... I rewatched his presser... He actually thinks the current coaching staff is going to give a damn about finishing this season strong rather than looking for new jobs themselves... Any new coach is going to bring in their own staff... 

Also, as mentioned above, their 12th man foundation is going to pay the immediate buy-out expenses. But the annual buy-out expenses are going to come from their athletic program - funding sources to be determined as their current revenue streams are already tied up funding other expenses....

So again, if they can’t use money from here, does the buyout have to be coming from donors?

It's a good thing they didn't take out a huge loan for their stadium renovations that are taking years to pay off and that we're not in an era where fan foundations should be directing their spending to NIL to remain competitive then, surely aggy will weather this just fine.

Freeze at A&M would be a serious problem… He may not be the most functional on NIL, but neither is A&M. That son of a bitch can seriously cheat though and actually knows how to coach. So it would be a race between making the CFP title game and the NCAA (and IRS), but he would be a serious pain in the ass until he self immolated…

So at what point did Aggy start talking about how much money they have? It seems nouveau riche... Is it when they started printing diplomas a few years ago and letting anyone in under the sun? Why do they think their alumni are wealthier than Texas'? Need help understanding that one.

I've watched this twice and I'm trying to put to words what it is that makes Bjork so off-putting.  Is he some kinda AI bot?  Tries to sound all badass after firing a coach.  Decorum states one should be rather solemn after that.  Be clear that a change needed to be made, thank Fisher for his service, say some nice things about him then move on to next week.  He spent a lot of time talking about the buyout and slobbering over fans.  Weird,  Like he's that snotty shitstain at work who thinks he's CEO material and can get there by repeating buzzwords and sounding assertive.

Scuttlebutt from Steven Godfrey/Richard Johnson:

• Lanning is waiting on Bama and Oregon is gonna fight not to get poached again
• Duke is capable of matching what they think A&M would pay for him (~8 a year) but a matter of Duke wanting to go there for him
• Traylor pros is that he'd be relatively cheap and obviously he'd be a recruiting witch
• Ole Miss isn't gonna fight to keep Lane if he does his bullshit again, plus he's already at 9 a year
• Not a lot of belief that they'd go after another Florida State hc
• DeBoer not mentioned at all which is telling on its own
• Urban is near 0% odds (I wanted to see that personally)
• Long shot is former Aggy QB/Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson

Elko/Traylor would be the current favorites

There's also the weird way he "takes responsibility" for things but it's apparent he did nothing about any of them until he decided to fire Jimbo. For example, he admitted he's finally going to learn -- this coming week -- all about college football coach contracts and what he did wrong in 2021.
