Tell Me About Texas a&m

[Beau Vine 55862]

I turn 57 this Saturday, and I have heard my entire life about how TAMU Football is a "sleeping giant."  

I don't think the giant is actually sleeping at this point.

There's raising hell and then there's actually being the decision maker. Bill Byrne did not reach out to Liucci to ask for his thoughts on whether he should fire/retain either Fran or Sherman. Did angry TexAgs posters possibly help influence Byrne's decision, sure. But that's no different than at most any other big football program. But I'd be willing to believe that no other college fansite is more directly/officially involved with that particular school than TexAgs. Bjork can probably call Liucci and help dictate whether something is censored on TA.

If you say so. Bowen Loftin couldn’t get enough TA attention. He did everything they wanted and sought out their approval.
 

TA has been an integral part of their communication, recruiting, and decision-making for a long time. They’re part of the university. 
 

In contrast, UT hates this site and it’s posters. No matter how relevant the news or opinions here, they want nothing to do with us.

Col. Sanders before Deion Sanders

He and Sharpe were talking about it. I couldn’t really understand what Sharpe was saying but, Stephen A. Smith did say that, in all seriousness.

 

[RomaVicta 30561]

I hadn't thought of Dykes.

He knows how to get to the championship game. He got TCU to within one victory of a national championship! Think what he could do with our unending supply of money, facilitiesfacilitiesfacilities, and the Aggie Network! He beat tu twice when he was at Cal!

 

Actually, I could see it.

I've been to Rockdale though.

Texas is 9-1 and the press can't keep aggy out of their mouth.  Best $76M aggy ever spent.

I'm trying to picture LK being led on one of those tours around the A&M campus and having all of the aggy turditions explained to him.

Including showing up at the aggy airport with an official state greeting and the maroon carpet rolled out....

Also beat Clemson bad and took Notre Dame to the last possession with a QB no other school wanted. He's hardly failing.   

Clemson outplayed Duke for the majority of that game, final score be damned. Clemson was going in to take the lead two different times in the third quarter but fumbled at the goal line both times. One was nearly returned for a TD and led to a short TD drive. Duke's last TD was another short field set up by a Klubnik INT.

Did we ever confirm the Elko buyout number?  I thought someone a while back mentioned a rumored $50M when they extended him a few months ago, but that seems way high?

Private institution, so the actual number isn't confirmable unless somebody here knows somebody there

On paper it has all the bells and whistles to be a good job. Their problems are internal. 

Pay, facilities, recruiting grounds, fan support. 

Also, it's a fake military school with mostly dudes and no black population.  Why would an elite player go there other than a bag of NIL money?

Dykes has some aggy traits for sure .....  I mean his Dad was coach at Sand aggy, so he can relate to the culture in Collie Station.   He had to recruit some of the same area we all do with his time at Louisiana Tech, SMU and TCU.     I still think last years TCU success was a series of perfect events that helped get them there.   I doubt it occurs again for a very long time.

Why would anyone take the aggy job for less of a contract than Jimbo's?

Starting the year, aggy was already behind GA, Bama, Tenn, Ole Miss and LSU. As this season played out in reality they are also behind OU and Texas which joins the SEC next year. The new coach has to recruit and coach his ass off to attempt to gain ground on the seven teams ahead of them. Aggy has set the precedent of what they are willing to pay a coach with a guaranteed contract and no buy out. I ask again why would anyone take the aggy job for less of a contract than Jimbo's?

This is especially true for Kiffin. For all they shit he’s talked about Jimbo, there’s no way he would go there for less money than Jimbo got. 

[Rockethorn1978 6205]

Aggy tossing out Dan Campbell is aggy just tossing his name out to come across as a blue blood. Campbell would never even consider going to aggy. 

[Nueces River Rat 5795]

How does John Sharpe and Bjork still have jobs today?    You'd think the head of the aggy BOR would've called Sharpe yesterday and said it's time for you to think about seriously retiring .

[UTexasFight 9812]

Have we done the thing where we name really really expensive things that are still less than the buyout Jimbo is getting?

The only reasons Campbell wouldn't consider A&M is he's been an NFL lifer in the coaching ranks and he's got Detroit in a great place. The dude is a red ass Aggie.

His schtick would play so much better in college.

 

but he’d be an idiot to leave Detroit… but considering he is aggy, maybe he would?

[Hornin04 262]

College sports on xm today was saying they had to give Urban a call at least. As well as Ryan Day.

Also had Pubes on and he actually sounded realistic about how much they suck.

I don't think Campbell would leave. He has zero experience with recruiting/NIL and the learning curve would be steep. 

But I agree long term he would be the best hire for A&M.

Billy Liucci was on Andy Staples and mentioned his “ex roommate” Dan Campbell. First time I’d heard that connection

Joel Klatt: A&M is the 4th best job in that region. Texas, Oklahoma, and LSU are better. A&M is the 7th best job in the SEC.

If aggie was smart they would organize and demand for those two fucktards to be pushed out.

 

Instead, they will continue letting them make important decisions and take their marching orders. Whoop!

Joel was in the conference when they were here. He understands the idiocy.

[Hank Kingsley 21759]

A&M is a weird job with an institutional culture that is not ideal for an outsider. 

To be successful, they should hire a red ass, proud Aggie. Lean into the male cheerleaders and stupid shit. Bring back the Wrecking Crew moniker and working class attitude on the field. 

Hopefully they fuck it up though.

Hot take here but now that SMU is in a real conference, they might be better as well.  Boosters will money whip whatever you need and you get to live in HP and not CS.  Expectations are also a million percent more reasonable.

[alincoln 2391]

There isn't a chance in hell Ryan Day would even take the call from aggy.  Hilarious.  Unlike the clueless national media, the coaching world understands how fucking weird aggy is and what a shithole College Station is, which is why they have to dramatically overpay for coaches.

Sharp is driving that place into the gutter both academically and athletically and no one has dared step up to him. I just assume its because he knows where all of the bodies are buried and everyone is afraid of him.

Its been so long since aggy has had any success in anything that just being the number #1 story in CFB is enough for them. Who cares if everyone is laughing. And Sharpe and the swedish chef are the guys that made that happen. They might get a raise out of this.

Mack Brown would be the perfect hire...

I don’t see him leaving the stud QB he has at UNC though.

[Reese Bennett 3663]

I just don't see Traylor. He won't bring any portal players or major recruits with him and it will take 2-3 years at least for him to fix all the problems and get that thing turned around.

So yeah, it'll probably be Traylor.

Funniest part is even Auburn, which on paper is probably a worse job, has had far more success than Aggy.
