Texas A&M football thread

Sumlin has been given basically a blank check for this hire. I have seen speculation that A&M would be willing to pay $1.5 million a year for Muschamp or Brent Venables. Aside from that, now that Bo Pellini is out at Nebraska, he is considered a target as well.

 

Just jumping in to say man, what a crap way to lose a game. What a joke.

 

I don't think he takes the job either but he gets Garrett at buck and a bunch of money. That's gotta pique his interest. Mack is gonna slide into that front too. Unless he gets a decent HC offer you never know.

Butch Davis is done with coaching or what?

 

WRs coach David Beaty has accepted the Kansas (HC) job.

OC Jake Spavital has interviewed at Tulsa.

 

Spavital has been contacted by Tulsa, but has not interviewed. That report was erroneous.

Beaty going from WR coach to getting a HC offer is mind boggling. He was on their staff under Mangino.

Sumlin has another hole on the staff to fill.

Should have faced Texas in Texas Bowl, would have been a classic. Disappointed.

 

I'm not upset about it but you'd think that matchup would have been the 4-6th highest grossing in terms of ticket sales, including the title games.

 

Sure seems like SEC officials in Birmingham got the match up they wanted. Arkansas will smash UT.

 

I don't think WV is a good matchup for the Aggies. They have a potent "air raid" offense. I guess it will be the last score wins.

 

It's gonna be like BYU2013.

 

I'm getting antsy. I want a hire. Oh well.

I feel like if an NCAA athlete could get sponsored in college it would be good for the game. The brand would benefit from keeping a player like Manziel in college longer. They could also put pressure on the player to stay in school longer or even require it in the contract. Big for basketball too.

 

Guess they're just gonna sign all receivers

Signed three JuCo players today & got a commitment from a top WR.

Still waiting on a DC.

 

And one more opening as B.J. Anderson(OL) was let go.

 

What are you, king of texags or something? God have mercy on your soul for even venturing into that cesspool.

 

Not feeding the troll. Especially one who can't stop falling over himself long enough to admit that his record prediction was wrong.

 

My record prediction was spot on. You've been reduced to arguing a technicality about the path to that record.

I was also spot on with the Liberty Bowl -- MANY weeks in advance.

enjoy Memphis, Aggies!
