that's what happens when you brag about how much money you have... 

every hour is going to cost them. Fewer candidate available and the $ goes up to convince someone to leave their current job.

if A&M doesn’t announce by tonight, it means they’re onto their 4th or 5th choice.

Wait, so Mark Stoops is out? Did he say no or did they?

Espn says he turned them down I think.

This probably sums up this search in the best possible way

Stoops took one look at College station and said "that place is fucking weird" and promptly went back to fucking his sister.

Wouldn't surprise if they go down the list to a former Aggie to appease the masses at this point.  Aaron Glenn?

I said a few days ago but if you're forcing a HC to keep most of the staff you are already down like 3 tiers of coaches.

This has already reached Tennesse Schiano levels of hilarity, and Aggy is trapped in a real prisoners dilemma. 

The soup of variables are lack of cash, potentially exiting AD due to the stoops situation , wanting to keep E Rob to keep players, and pressing timeliness for clearly all of this up for signing day while coaches are coming off the board or being turned off from this shit show. 

IMO best remaining move is to promote E Rob , and learn from this for the inevitable search 2 years from now .

What Aggy will likely do is hire a mid coach , maybe Traylor if he's getting itchy or gets bad advise, doesn't matter. E Rob still leaves because he feels jilted, taking some of the defensive staff and players they wanted to keep in the first place. And then whatever mid coach having to hire a mid defensive staff .

 

 

I agree that the interim is likely the best avenue perhaps. I was watching the game, and the message board experts were pretty high on Robinson while Aggy was being competitive with LSU, but a few mistakes (INT, etc) and they turned on him quite quick. Did they really think they were going to beat Daniels and LSU? De-lu-lu.

 

As far as a FBS coach, I wonder if they ever rang up Steve Spurrier? Jr, not Dad. He's at Tulsa as the OC/QB coach. Using him as an example, that's the type of candidate that probably has a lower buyout, has experience in the SEC, and isn't going to break the bank (IIRC, TU has one of the smaller enrollments and the current coach is Kevin Wilson (former OC at tOSU). Anyway, a FBS coach or someone from their ranks seems like a safer bet than going all out for a big P-5 name because those candidates, potential or otherwise, seem to be saying aw hell naw. Money can buy a lot of happiness, but sometimes it just isn't worth it.

He already told Kentucky he was leaving. It was announced on ESPN GameDay yesterday morning Stoops was the hire. A revolt on the A&M side happened. Mainly boosters and possibly players who want a guy already in the building Robinson. Late last night around 11:15 pm it started being walked back on the Stoops hire.
Mike Stoops then he announced he had a change of heart and wanted to stay. Decisions were made without necessary approval. Seems like there is concern of player happiness as it pertains to an in house coach and also big boosters being misled and Bjork going kinda rogue. They humiliated Stoops and now he has to crawl back into bed with his wife that everyone knows he stepped out on. Had he left a few seasons ago he’d have had multiple options. aggy screwed him and the guys writing the checks on their side. And now they are screwed 

Hahahahhha

 

POOOOOOOORRRRR

the best part of all of this... Aggy rushed the firing and hiring cause Texas is on the ascent, entering the SEC, and they panicked...

keep the Best Recruiting Class Ever intact to take down sip. 

It's really baffling that they're prioritizing keeping together a group that has gone 12-12 since getting on campus over trying to find the best guy to build a program.

There is no evidence that aggy has the institutional self-awareness to make the changes they really need to make in order to be successful at the level they think they should.
That is what makes them so easy to laugh at.

This…is perfect.

Forgot about this. This was the second major red flag that was ignored with Tommy.

I should prolly get an agent...

The John Blake comparison works well here. Make it so, aggy.

The other thing about an interim is whether he has the process chops on hand to handle the needed improvements 

So, just as a thought exercise, who are actually valid options at this point?

Robinson

Traylor

Fleck?

Doeren?

W Fritz?

Fisch?

....

Is that Matt Campbell's music?!?!?!

Jason Candle is a sitting head coach with a Natty in his pocket.  Probably get him cheap, too.

When I saw him swing the sledgehammer in the Texas locker room, I knew we were fucked.

I’m sure this has been covered but things moving fast as I’m at DFW to get my son on plane back to school. But a buddy said he heard Stoops went so far as to fly to aggyville but was told when he landed the job wasn’t his?!?! Please tell me this is true.

Like everything Liucci says, the first sentence is the news and the next sentence is him crowing about how long he has known the news but wasn’t allowed to report it yet

But it’s not.

Our experienced flight-trackers should be able to confirm this. Maybe he was on the same plane with Urban?

The saga of that class will make a humorous 30 for 30.

Funny thing is, Mark Stoops would have been a good hire IMHO. I'm glad aggy thinks they are too good for him as a hire.

Stoops would've been a good, safe hire. Not the "splash" Bjork promised when this fiasco began.

Now they're furked

I’m kind of stunned that they haven’t gone to the obvious choice yet. Gary Kubiag is tanned, rested and ready.

This search shows the difference in our administration and theirs. We fired and hired on the same day and only semi publicly whiffed on Urban before hiring Sark. They fired Jimbo them sniffed their own farts for 3 weeks and publicly whiffed on everybody with a pulse before settling on a coach with a 52% winning percentage. 

Hell, every hire is like that for UT. Remember poaching a top 5 AD from a conference rivalry and no one heard about it until it was a done deal? Texas is substance and atm is fake flash.

Can't find anything about making it to b/cs airfield, but he might have been doing an interview on the way to the airport.

There's no fill-in-the blank Natty date on this plaque

So I guess my only concern here is that since whatever they do won’t be Plan A, B, C, D, E, etc……it might actually work?
