Update on DC search?

---

Update: it is Monday, and there is still a DC search.

Tune-in later for more.

That is all.







BTHO West Virginia!

Update on the search, Muschamp is off the table

Looch is on now talking about it...

get radio aggieland app on zone1150.com or if you're local listen on 1150 am.

Muschamp:
his family was a Big factor in staying in the Southeast/ going to Auburn.

Looch is now saying this could drag on a while...end of this week or next week before Christmas, maybe even after Christmas.

So basically we still don't have any idea who or when

Foster still hasn't signed his extension

We need to hire somebody in the next couple of days.

We won't.

Looch said...

Expect TWO names to be the clear targets for DC by the end of the week and expect one of them to be a pleasant surprise, a name nobody has been talking about but who is a big name.

Also, the lower tier candidates (like Dave Stekel, Gibbs, etc.) who have been trying to get themselves the A&M job have been moving on because they know they don't have a shot.

correct, won't happen in next 72 hours

Sumlin believes Malik is locked in and he's taking his time now to get the right guy. That may mean giving Foster the time he needs or wants.

Lots of spin, then some bull****, and lots more spin.

NBD that the big name D recruits announce soon without a DC in place.

Some more bull****, and a lot more spin.

Yes, Sumlin seems to believe he can get all the recruits he wants without rushing the hire and that hiring now wouldn't necessarily make a difference to any of these early commits.

thanks kammrath for update

I'm listening now, but apparently not as good as you... don't worry about the BAS in here. Panties definitely in a wad over this one.

If you could have Mattison in 24 hours or Foster in 2 weeks. I'll take Foster, thanks!

You bet. It takes careful listening to hear what Looch is trying to communicate.

He clearly knows stuff, but is obligated to be very careful about saying anything that will hurt Sumlin and A&M. Looch even talked about (during his discussion about WR coach) how Sumlin wants as little news out as possible during this time because the more the rumors fly, the more it hurts Sumlin's ability to have the conversations and negotiations he needs to have.

The point? Looch is trying to tell us stuff, but is having to do it in a veiled way that won't make headlines...you have to connect the dots yourself.

So the big takeaways?

1) Two names will surface by the end of the week, one that no one has been talking about. (Maybe, Foster and someone like John Chavis??)

2) This is going to be a top tier hire, the lower tier guys who are jockeying for the position know they have no chance. (TRANSLATION: It will not be Gibbs from UH.)

3) Sumlin seems to be very confident in getting the defensive recruits he wants this week. (So maybe expect everybody who Sumlin is targeting, except DeBerry, to commit to A&M??)

In the Houston Chronicle sports either last Friday of Saturday, Sumlin stated that he is not going to rush in making a DC hire.
I think that's the prudent play and agree.

I was thinking about Chavis with the speculation about Miles and Michigan.

Totally agree- clearly Looch knows exactly how this is going to play out, but just can't talk yet (for obvious reasons). He can give you a good idea of where the search is going, but you have to REALLY read between the lines (aka, go back and revisit what he said after the fact, to see how he didn't say anything that pinned him in before the name is announced). I think he's got a real close relationship with Sumlin, and Sumlin makes sure to use him for what is best for A&M.

No benefit to naming a DC now, and obviously the only choices are to take a lower-level candidate in a rush decision, or waiting on the timelines of one of the better names out there. Just gotta kick back and let everything fall into place without ever questioning or worrying. This is definitely going to be a home run hire, and it's probably already a lot closer than anyone can let on, at this point.

Point #2 worries me. My excitement over a lower tier/Gibbs type hire would be minimal. We may have top tier targets and pray they come here. But, having watched these things play out before, they never pan out. If we ran off the next level guys, what are we left with?

Yeah, Miles is definitely interested in Michigan.

Bahahahaha

There is always the Southland Conference.

Vander54...this is TBrooster87...has anybody suggested Dennis Allen (Oakland Raiders Head Coach) as the ATM DC? He is a defensive coordinator by trade and he is a very good coach. He had a great resume and is 42 years old...

Smoke...soooooo much smoke...you'd think there was a fire somewhere, but...no such luck, just more smoke.

Who knows what's going to happen with Michigan.

Logically, I don't see why any HC at a SEC school goes there. SEC pays more.

But, I looked on Michigan fan site just now.

Today, they are discussing local radio show information, assuming Harbaugh is not coming, that Michigan is going to actively go after MIles, Mullen and/or Stoops.

If true, I can see Sumlin waiting to see if he can snatch Chavis or Collins (Miss St. DC).

As much hell as Macarthur got for blasting the playoff committee for not selecting TCU, he did get one thing right. The B1G is nowhere near what it was ten years ago. It's falling apart as fast as the BDF. Mainly due to the Rust Belt collapsing economically. People are leaving that area in droves and the ones left don't have the money to put into sports like we do in the South.

For instance, Pennsylvania used to have damn good HS recruiting. Not as good as Texas or Florida, but still really good. Now it is pretty mediocre.

Miles would be a fool to leave LSU for Michigan. As dumb as he is, I don't think he is a total idiot.

Going from Okie State to LSU was far from a terrible decision.
