I'm Sure DeBeor could make it work for a Fisher level deal, but I can not over emphasize how amazing the UW campus is.  The main library hall is legitimately one of the most beautiful rooms I've ever been:

I literally wanted us to join the Pac-16 back in 2011 just so we could get trips to play UW ever 4 years.  Also getting a trip to either Phoenix or LA every year wasn't going to be bad either.  Now we get to go to less shitty destinations than the BDF but still very meh in terms of would I ever go there on purpose if it wasn't for football....

UDub is currently my daughter's No. 1 choice and I'm hoping she goes there next year.  I've taken a tour of the campus with her, and would love to see a game at Husky Stadium.

Any relation to Carl? Might as well shoot for the stars.

Good idea. You probably need to get her far away from her grandmother.

I was up there on my motorcycle in 2016 for the Stanford game where they ripped the doors of McCaffery's squad and outside of getting a parking ticket (which I never paid) I had an absolute blast.

They celebrated the 1991 Emtman squad's 25th anniversary at halftime and I felt really old right about then.

I wouldn't say that is their biggest issue.  The disturbingly bizarre "cult"ure together with being located in an absolute shithole are their biggest issues.

I'd say it's both - the weirdo cult and that their ENTIRE football identity is represented by a massive inferiority complex with Texas.

The funny thing is in and of itself Jimbo wasn’t some spectacular hire but he was more than fine.

It was the cult of aggy with the ridiculous contract, the failure to acknowledge the warts (almost all hires have them to some degree) and the irrational exuberance that is what took a fine hire and made it disastrous.

Everything aggy touches dies. They will do it again.

I 100% agree with the premise but Jimbo was a disaster hire, his failure at FSU near the end, his quiet quitting, his OL collapse, the players he picked sucked.

All of it was leading to the inevitable failure we are all expecting.

Aside from Kingsbury there is not a single glaring failure in the list of coaches they are looking at.

But yeah aggie culture would fuck up even Saban.

Baylor and the BMDs just dropped/committed $90 million for the new football center and $125 million for the new basketball arena (city ponied up $65 million of the total cost)

Irony (from Ancient Greek εἰρωνεία eirōneía ' dissimulation, feigned ignorance' ), in its broadest sense, is a rhetorical device, literary technique, or event in which what on the surface appears to be the case or to be expected differs radically from what is actually the case.

yeah, he's Kirby's right hand man, has been for years since he was a GA, was Kirby's first hire at Georgia and isn't on the Kirby Smart career path? lol

that's a "we called, they said after the season and we said nevermind" response if i've ever seen one.

UW is great, but just like Texas, certain majors are very difficult for OOS applicants. I hope she gets accepted.

If that truly is the case, I can see Baylor hiring Traylor.  He's about the best that program can get right now.

The best birthday present I can think of would be aggy dicking around with other big name candidates because Traylor is "beneath them," being turned down by everyone, including Elko, and then they turn their eyes back to Traylor and he's already in green and gold.

ERob could end up being a real candidate especially if they beat LSU. 

This scenario would be really fun to watch.  Hire ace recruiter based on one game and some "players love him" vibes.  Don't forget "he loves aggieland".   Then find out later if he actually has any real HC skills.  Profit.

If this is at all a realistic possibility, I'm going to be rooting like a motherfucker for aggy against LSU.

The replies to that are absolute gold.  It's remarkable that twitter randos are more well plugged into reality than the aggy chancellor who somehow still has a job...

Talked to an aggy friend yesterday evening. His thoughts.

Everyone in CFB at the time was convinced that Jimbo was a great hire. It wasn't a bad decision.

The firing of Jimbo shows aggy commitment to excellence.

He expects the next hire to be big.

Elko and Traylor are beneath aggy. It will be an Urban type hire. Also, Traylor is a tsip hack.

 

Does he, by any chance, ride the short bus to work?

  • Lanning's total buyout is closer to $50 million all in
  • Kiffin wants the job but they don't want him (LOL)
  • Schumann won't be a candidate. Not on the Lanning/Smart track right now
  • DeBoer will get a real look but not sure if they could hire him (he has a $12 million buyout).
  • ERob could end up being a real candidate especially if they beat LSU. 

Need a giant earthmover to cut through this load of BS.

Kiffin wants the job but they won't offer. LOLOLOLOLOL

ERob could end up being a real candidate.  If they fired their $125mm man just to hire an assistant--WOW.  

Best case for the lulz would be they screw the pooch and have to hire ERob because they spent so much time chasing Dabo that UW ties up DeBoer, Duke ties up Elko, Traylor goes RapeU, while Patterson goes Pig.

Icing on the case would be if Freshwater and Bilbo agree to a $1/year contract where Bilbo only has to work one week a year--the year preceding the aggy game.  Freshwater trolling aggy by having them pay $7.5mm every year for an analyst that helps to beat them would be the ultimate schadenfreude.  Just hook it to my veins.  

Apparently Looch said he expects the hiring of the new coach right after the LSU game, so I'm assuming it's either Elko or Traylor.

This. Especially because the even more likely scenario after he wins is this:

-big money ags realize he has no experience as HC and get cold feet.

-eRob gets pissed and leaves

-90% of players and recruits bail on the ags

JNVS was also responsible for this. His stupidity is truly mind blowing . About 1:25 for Jimbo but the whole thing is unbelievable.  "Here Coach Carthel, is a $12 plaque for actually achieving something, which this system is certainly unaccustomed to. And for you Jimbo .."

Does aggy not understand that they can’t hire a coach that “fits “, someone who knows all about aggy and their glorious traditions?  Bringing in such a “fit “ means you remain in the same old rut……mediocre.  They have to hire someone  who is 180 degrees different than themselves, doesn’t give a shite about their traditions, tells them that he wants girl cheerleaders and no milkmen on the field…so, I’m not sure that coach exists.

Oh yeah he knew how asinine it was but probably bit a hole through his tongue, or his meditation chant of "hommmm 75 mil guaranteed....hommmm" helped him through it

Jimbo: “I hope I fill in a couple.”

Narrator: Jimbo did not, in fact, fill in a couple, carrying on a treasured Texas A&M tradition of pairing the highest of expectations with the most mediocre of results.

Sure, but the 3-4 time zone differences can suck.  And it's not just for games, it's for recruiting as well.  

This.  It's common for a lot of teams playing a team on the opposite coast to travel out a day early, just so they can acclimate to the time change.  I haven't seen how the new Big Ten is going to schedule conference games, but having to do this as many as 3-4 times a year seems like it would get old, particularly when teams like Washington and Oregon have to go play teams like Rutgers and Maryland.  The new Big XII will have similar issues with Arizona and Arizona State playing West Virginia and Cincinnati.
