I cannot believe they would fire Jimbo without having someone already hired

There's no way these people make this kind of money to be so stupid not to have someone. I'm thinking our next hire is doing well this season and wants to finish it out.
What you say, Paper Champion? I'm gonna beat you like a dog, a dog, you hear me!

Who else is not currently coaching a team that you want to be the head coach of the Ags? Meyer? Jimmy Johnson? Barry Switzer?

It's not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion, there may be a lot of coaches that you didn't know were available throw their hat in the ring because it's an open search .

AND, by announcing 1st, we gonna hold-up the hiring at several other coaching vacancies, which presumably is a favorable position; because of this, I suspect they acted quickly (even impulsively) to get ahead of others the department suspected of making changes too like UCLA, Miss St, maybe Arky & Florida, etc.

After 50+ years of watching and living Aggie football, and watching coaches searches, I predict the next head coach at A&M will be.....Dabo Swinney

I will be surprised if the wealthiest football program in the country released their head coach mid-season to keep recruits, without having the next coach lined up first. That just wouldn't make sense.

Glad it's a real search casting a wide net. No, we did not have someone lined up. And that's okay

If you are hiring a successful head coach from another P5 program you will not say anything until after their regular season.

If you are hiring a coordinator from a CFP caliber team you might not be saying anything until they are eliminated

If you are hiring a coach from an unsuccessful program, why?

Not stupid. We've got a year now to make the best choice! Next year is shot anyway, so just let the interim HC do his thing. We've nothing to lose, so we need to take our time and make the right choice.


The ONLY valid ANNUAL goal for ALL Aggie Sports is a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Huh? I wonder if we do have our guy and the coaching search is a smokescreen to allow him to finish out the season without the publicity.

I'm sure a lot of people have been interviewed and I guarantee you won't hear anything til the season is over. And despite what the braintrust here at TexAgs would have you believe, it's a gamble on how they'll actually perform no matter what conference we pull them from. Maybe this is a bad place to take a sample but our fanbase has become as toxic, fickle, and haughty as every school we think we're better than.

We absolutely fired him without a replacement lined up, and that's not a bad thing.

Everyone knows that only really smart people have money. No one ever gets rich who is dumb.

Our amin has lots of money so they must be brilliant.

This. When you fire, You have at least a list and you know that 'worst case, we can get this guy'. But if you don't have THE specific guy targeted and locked yet, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It is conventional wisdom that the average TexAgs poster would be a better coach, AD, or rich booster if only given the chance

They have been talking to agents for quite some time. They have had a good idea who will take it.
