Are we going to just suggest "what about _______" for every coach that had a good showing yesterday?

Might as well go hire Killough from Incarnate Word if just yesterday is going to make us favorite a possible hire

I understand that Jimbo Fisher is available...

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

In the era of NIL, I think it makes a lot of sense to go after an established NFL coordinator. Someone who knows what it takes to make it to the next level, sure, but can also manage + mentor young kids looking to make their money now.

Why narrow our scope to just college coaches?

I once had an employee give me their two weeks notice and at the same exact time tell me "but if you have an opening at some point I might be a fit for let me know"….uhh you're quitting from a job I hired you for and it's now open?

Good employee but as that conversation showed, lacked some level of common sense. So maybe Jimbo was one of our interviews LOL

I'd rather us hire Conner McQueen from Incarnate Word than Traylor.

Also, it's far past time for Conner to be back on the Aggie sideline.

Firing jimbo and hiring Traylor should get bjork and sharp fired.

Why don't we give everyone a play-clicker/selector with A B C D on it. We can then put a graphic on the JumboTron with 4 plays.

A. a Run
B. a Pass
C. an RPO
D. Other

Everyone gets to vote on the play and at 15s left on the play clock "All votes are in" and the play gets sent to the QB.

15s? That's way too much time.

Jimbo always sent it in with 5 left. Or he took a time out or we took a delay of game.

I had an employee who wanted to have a couple drinks at the bar and discuss work.

In 30 mins, he proceeded to pound 4 beers and tell me:
  • I think this company has poor leadership.
  • I think the products aren't very good.
  • I don't like anyone on our team and would rather not interact with them.
  • I have more money than everyone else on the team and don't need this job.
  • I have had a couple offers to leave but have stayed.

I told him I'd help him do whatever he needed to find happiness elsewhere.

The next day, he calls me and tells me he accepted a position at another company and was giving me his 2 weeks notice.

I accepted.

The next morning (Friday) he indicated that he wanted me to wait until after the weekend because he was reconsidering.

I told him "That ship sailed. IT is shutting off your access at 5pm and you will receive a box to return your laptop."

I would have cut him off after our bar conversation but he was the type of person that would go scorched earth and we were at a team retreat and were on the road.

And the moral of the story is, be careful what you wish for. You might get it.

Did his wife reconsider for him? Some people really think very highly of themselves.

He was a lot like Sumlin. He was a relatively good employee who performed better than many, but his drinking got in the way and he made terrible impulsive decisions.

When this guy finally sobered up, his wife probably had to remind him that he quit. She probably reminded him that he had $15K in equity vesting that he might miss out on.

I was kind enough to extend his employment to include the vesting and paid him the final 2 weeks none-the-less.

Good on you, alcohol gives many people a liquid backbone and regrets the next morn.
