Hall Mumme.....Guess where Leach learned this offense??

Dennis Green so we never let any team off the hook!!!!!!!

Hal Mumme's teams, like Leach's, didn't play defense.

(oh wait, we only scored 7 points yesterday...)

Jim Mora

Art Briles
Young
Great State Connections
Turning cougar high around on shoestring budget with little to zero alum support.

He will work wonders at A&M. I was skeptical at first until I went to an Aggie Club meeting and afterward his name was spoken in glowing terms

Playoffs!!!! you're talking about playoffs? He would be screaming Defense, you're talking about defense?

Grothe or however you spell the coach from South FLorida

You people are crazy when you say you want Briles. He has a 26 and 24 record at U of H. Very similary season by season record has our current coach.

And for all of you people that say, well he is at a school that has no budget, you are correct, but he is also playing schools that are in the same boat as him, schools that have no budget. At least he has the city of houston to pull talent from.

I will boycott games if we hire him.

if Briles comes to A&M, I will never set a foot in Kyle Field again.

I think it's spelled "Leavitt" but I'm not sure.

since the theme of texags and this topic seems to be ridiculous, i'll say my dream coach for A&M is . . .












Vince Lombardi
he might be a long shot though

Reggie McNeal
Offensive Coordinator- Courtney Lewis

Art Briles's defense gave up 48 to 1-5 Rice. Not only no, but HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!

Ked82, that's classic. I may need to go with Bill Cowher (sp?).

why would we want a coach like mike leach? What has he won? his team is consistantly average every year...ya they put up pretty numbers on offense...but they never do anything special in a season...his team will never be anything more than they have been because thats what those sort of offenses produce.

thanks, agwin12. Maybe $Bill can get Coors light to sponsor us too.

I have full confidence in Bill Byrne. If and when the time comes for him to hire a football coach, his choice will suit me. I'm not making a statement re Fran's status; just saying that I have confidence in BB. If it comes to hiring a new coach, just turn BB loose and let him operate. He's a pro and knows what he's doing. And I don't worry a second about the negative effects on recruiting if a change is made. If anything, a BB hire would attract recruits. (Again, no shot directed at Fran.) Although I, as everybody else, can speculate on whether or not a change will be mad, that's beside not the point of this post. So consider this post a hypothetical at this time. And may the big donors KEEP OUT of it. Bill Burne does not need their advice.

Ideally I would love to see an up and coming, young, defense minded coach...someone that understands Texas A&M and what it takes to be successful in the Big 12.

Spurrier!!

Jesus

Scratch Bill Snyder for Ron Prince at Kansas State. Amazing that their list had an error on it.

And scratch Dan McCarney for Gene Chizik at Iowa State. Uuummmmhhhh. Wow. So much for that site being accurate.

now that is a list

And Darrell Dickey is no longer at North Texas. It is now Todd Dodge. Good Lord!

DKR

And the Rice coach is now David Bailiff. Ken Hatfield? Heck, Todd Graham came after him. Then Todd Graham split for Tulsa. And now it is David Bailiff.

Mark Richt

Paterno!

Also, John Bunting isn't at UNC. Glen Mason's not at Minnesota. Jim Hohfer's not at Buffalo. Fisher DeBerry is not at Air Force. Brian Kelly isn't at Central Michigan. Chris Scelfo's not at Tulane. Chuck Amato's not at NC State. Ken Hatfield's not at Rice. And Terry Hoeppner is not at Indiana...he actually died a couple of months ago.

Other than that, great list.

To those in love with Briles, listen to his radio show some Thursday night if you live in Houston... it comes on right before Fran's. The dude is an excuse machine. He loves blaming refs, etc. etc... not unlike Penders. If you don't like coaches who say things like 'the exhibition season is now over', you REALLY won't like Briles.

Joe Pa!

the next person to talk about getting Art Briles needs to be publicly hung... good god, who the heck wants to get a guy who has gone .500 in C-USA... Outside of one decent year with a 4th yr starter at QB who went in the 2nd round of the NFL draft, Briles has not done anything in a crap conference

Briles is a great HS coach, and may do fine at UofH, but he should have no business being in line for A&Ms job, we have some really dunb alums who just look at whats right around them... Bill Byrne is not that idiotic, there better be no way in heck that he hires Briles, for crying out loud his team gave up 48 to Rice... He would absolutely not fit at A&M and would only give us mediocre teams that played a gimmicky offense and a crappy defense, we'd be in the same spot Tech is in at our very best... And I dont think we'd even really be as good as Tech... God I would this hire, and just to throw wood on the fire, he's a fricking Tech Tard
