1st 3+ minutes of the video. Sounds upset that the interview news leaked. Talks about how they (his family) love being there. Talks about UTSA moving quickly. Fundraising pleas. Needs help people need to step up. (To me does not sound like he is coming here)

Raising money to give him a raise?

I hope they raise a lot of money and keep him there. I don't think many of us want him here.

That's what he talks about every time he has a mic in front of him.. "I need more money, better facilities, assistant coach pay, etc."

Extremely unlikely he was every comming here. We would have to miss on multiple candidates for him to even have a chance. Also no money UTSA pays him will make him off limits to us if we decide we want him.

Good grief. That sounds just like Jimbo.

I don't want the guy, but I find it hard to believe UTSA could out bid us for anything.

I wonder if part of the motivation for interviewing him is tied to optics with high school coaches. Is it better to interview Traylor and ultimately go a different direction or not interview and the coaching network thinks A&M snubbed him? I would think the former is the better play.

He pretends to be upset about the "leak" of him interviewing.

Exactly. Many believe his team is the source of the leak.

Every hot coach is leaking rumors tying them to our search. Traylor's team is just the most ham handed of the bunch. It's free leverage to get that extension. Just the whiff that your successful coach might leave can be enough to talk some gullible AD into offering a ridiculous extension.

What's funny to me is that this is from San Antonio. For 20 years (1990-2010), every time a NFL team wanted a new stadium, they floated the idea that they might leave. And inevitablly San Antonio was listed as an option because of the Alamodome. Which was objectively hilarious that an NFL team would move to a stadium with few luxury boxes and really a sad, depressed interior. But people ate it up until the Raiders, Saints, or whomever might come up with their real plan.

I think he stays at utsa for a few more years. He has complained enough to get a little more NIL money and facilities but eventually he will leave for a big12 program in my opinion.

He has a tough conference game at Tulane this Friday.

When the sips took the lead in facilities, RC begged for these things as well, to no avail. Wally Groff would have none of that.

Except UTSA actually has worse facilities than the entire rest of their conference.

He answered in pretty much the dumbest way possible. Just say yes or lie and say no. I'm totally OK with lying in this situation.

I'm from SA and this always cracked me up as well. The Alamodome wasn't up to nfl standards when it opened in 1993. If the stupid ass city had invested in a first class stadium, they probably would have an NFL team by now.

On a related note, it boggles my mind that stadium architects apparently only recently figured out that it's a good idea to let some natural light inside of roofed stadia.

Farmer John-

The Alamadome interior, especially compared to facilities 30 years ago, was and is in no way "sad" or "depressed". It was roomy, comfortable and mega-convenient overlooking the beautiful downtown San Antonio and literally being walking distance to one of the top tourist areas in our country.

The problem, as you mentioned, was the lack of number and quality of the luxury suites. But the game-watching sightlines are terrific. There is literally no bad seats in that place.

Also sounded like RC. If we had come through with that for him, we wouldn't have fallen behind in recruiting. If we had done that and listened to RC about the move to the SEC back then, history would have been very different.

Plus…

The $23.2 million renovations include the addition of 18 suites to the Alamodome, replacement of elevators and escalators, and new finishes to the upper level, according to a statement from Patricia Muzquiz Cantor, executive director of convention and sports facilities. The city will also renovate the existing 52 suites and the concessions area. The corridors on the club level and restrooms on all levels will also receive upgrades.

BIRDS UP! I'm all for the success of UTSA and their football program. Not sure why the masses don't like Traylor…. Watch a few of his other pressers. The dude is legit.

The A&M culture has begun. Just read this thread. We lose because of our culture, not the coach.

To be fair, those are legitimate needs are at UTSA. Not so much at FSU.

Seems to me candidates like Traylor believe that getting an A&M interview boosts their credibility with other top tier programs.

He knows UTSA will never match P5 program resources.

He's playing the long game to get his name out for the next interview
