Who yall got to take over this clown show when we inevitably send this bozo off w a big bag of money


Is it will stein or bust?


I wouldn't mind us rolling dice on an up & comer coordinator type


Maybe Shanahan from Indiana or CW Jr from LSU?


Is Schumann ready to take the training wheels off?



I also like Morris at okie lite

Yeah, it's next year if anything. Even at that, I'm genuinely perplexed who that would be. Good coaches seemed set and big schools would match. It'd have to be a coordinator, nfl guy, or someone out the game.

When we decide to hire another HC, we need to have those who have a role in the hiring choice and the choice of the contract we offer to sit down and spend a week watching two or three entire seasons of games for the leading 5 or 6 candidates. Edit out the commercials and they can evaluate the decisions the candidates tend to make based on actual real game situations where they were coaching. What they do on 4th and short, when they decide to go for it or punt, how they decide when behind by more than one score, how long they stick with a player that is performing terribly, clock management, etc. I don't think many of them pay much attention to football.

We'd be saving what 10MM on his buyout by cutting him loose next year vs this year?

Small potatoes in the grand scheme

He goes 4-8 and keeps his job he owns us more than just the money paid to make him leave. We become Fla St and Clemson and are held hostage. He knows that we accept losing and won't do **** about it.

I don't want to hear "we don't have the money." Money ain't our problem. Go 4-8 will make the money appear.

Elko is back next season regardless of how the rest of this one goes down.

Watch him keep Marcel for next year too…

Rhett Lashlee might work.

Coach Claude

Stein and Chesney would be as well.

What is show cause??

We need to put it out there that Kiffin is considering coming here for $20 million a year. Jimmy Sexton would run with it. Either way, he gets a raise. He owes us.

Stein

Is there anyone we can promote from within?

I can't believe how high everyone is on Stein 7 games into his HC career. I thought A&M wasn't the place to learn on the job?

I think I prefer learning here vs showing up to get fatter & retire

Why do you need a different guy to complain about?

Just hire one of the best TXHSFB coaches and spend all of our money on the best players instead of failed coaches buyouts. Have the engineering school build the football operations AI models to help with talent evaluation, salary cap, roster construction and player development. Make the coaching salaries 90% incentive based with contracts that give the school all the leverage to terminate.

Spending hundreds of millions of dollars to pay failed coaches not to work is insanity. We're in the new era, buy the best players and start with the best quaterbacks, no more loyalty to mediocrity, no more roster gaps just reload every year with the best players.

I been saying this for years and years...

you need a young, smart and driven HS coach eager to climb the rank. pay them just one millon $ and have a buy out if they get poached from outside.

put rest in NIL

Hire other young coach to serve as OC and DC with similar payout,

have them, eat sleep, sh*$ A&M football 24/7.

You need a motivated and driven coach to put all this together. It is not rocket science, It mostly will and luck.

buying an old multi million coach doesn't work. The reason it doesn't work is because there are too many variables and no way to control them.

There is more to this but it isn't just about hiring a young unproven coach. It is more about building a schema of coaching talent funnel that can sustain A&M from continuous funnel of HS coaching ranks

This is exactly my thinking. People that are saying this are looking solely at the cost side and not any lost revenue side.

Tell me any revenue is either exactly the same or worse if we cut ties now rather than later, and I'll consider otherwise. But with over $70 mil down the drain for Jimbo, is another 10 (or whatever) REALLY that big a deal?

we can't afford a new coach at this time.

he gets at least another year. Maybe two.

---

I don't know who you mean by "we"?

I'm not paying a penny and I doubt you are, either.

But the big money guys absolutely can afford it.

That's where we are at…
The only way for change is if the "donors" don't renew their seats. Sacrifice for the greater good.

Itll be the same old tired process. Fire the coordinator, make a poor replacement hire, fail to develop a qb, lose to tu, get fired, save a little money on the buyout vs this year

Hate to tell you, but it doesn't matter who our coach is. We are cursed.

There is a better chance of a time machine being successfully invented than us having any sort of sustained success. So just wait for the time machine and go back to 1939.

---

I'm class of 2000 as well and have been watching this play out the same way for over 3 decades now.


We are absolutely cursed. Doesn't matter what coach or how many 5 star players we get. We will never get there.

Doesnt matter. We couldnt hire our 1st, 2nd, or 3rd option last time around. So who would actually come here.. I vote to force elko to keep coaxhing and look like a fool for years so he is the laughing stock of college football.

---

And tank our recruiting while also making us look like fools? Sure that makes sense.
