Way Too Early Coaching Carousel Predictions

Auburn has national championships recently. A$M doesn't have dick.

At some point high level guys have to be asking "why has literally everyone failed there since mid-90s RC Slocum? They've had the resources and the recruiting hot bed that entire time...
A&M has everything it needs to win big. The problem with A&M is the job is about more than coaching football. They really need a guy with skills like Matt Rhule that can come in there and handle all of the off the field bullshit while also keep things together on it. The brass at A&M doesn't understand this though, so they will continue to hire guys that only know how to coach football. A&M literally had Bear Bryant as their coach for 3 years. When they told him they would be the last school to integrate black players, he told them then that's where they'll finish. It's no coincidence his tenure there was short. Not saying the racism is still there, but that's just an example of the behind the scenes undermining that likely continues to this very day.

We’ve said that for 25 years…I’ll believe it when I see it.
A$M can win National Championships. We will never win our conference again. There is a difference between the two programs where they stand today. I’ll be happy being a k-state type team in the BIG.
 
Looks like Chadwell is getting a look from Mississippi State:

If somebody photoshopped this one where Prime sent this from College Station, it would be funnier.

AM I TAKING CRAZY PILLS?!

If A$M is such a sure thing - why has NO ONE SUCCEEDED THERE for more than 1 season? How did this become an A$M “state of the program” thread?

They are the Maryland Of the SEC - high recruiting, never meaningful results

Maryland is a shit comparison. A$M has won a lot more games. They just told a coach to gtfo while paying him 76 million and will probably spend another 100 million for a new coach. They have a lot of talent in their back yard and a solid roster. A guy like Urb could go there and win quick. The only downfall is that you’re in the sec west which is the toughest conference in football.

It’s a principle thing - all the talent nothing to show for it. Obviously it’s not a direct comp. Maryland is top 20 class so many years and goes 5-7 to 7-5 every year.

Also - I don’t give a fuck what they spend. That just makes them better at wasting money. If they have all the money in the world, why did they settle for a “not good coach” like Jimbo last time around.

You’re only proving my point - no fucking shit they have Texas talent in their backyard, no fucking shit they have all the money in the world, no fucking shit they pull huge recruiting classes. Yet they are the only ones consistently pulling those classes and NOT winning at the same rate their classes say they should. NIL was supposed to solve all their problems, and it didn’t. Same old mediocre results. For 4 straight coaches. All the way back to Dennis Fucking Franchione. One really good season every 6-8 years.

Something doesn’t add up - like, maybe their culture is fucked?

My only point from this whole damn thing has been that I don’t think Lane wants to go to a micro-managing group of fucking weirdos like A$M…I never thought that’d be such a hot button for you nerds.

They haven’t won a championship since 1939 - they don’t even count those anymore…
 
1) why do you feel the need to put huge in all caps
2) A&M way easier to recruit with less travel.
3) better NIL
4) better weather/talent/conference for air raid offense
5) doubt he cares about being middle of the pack B1G team
6) and almost triple your fuggin salary
1. 2 reasons: 1) because I said it like HUGE not just huge, ya know? And 2) because fuck you, that’s why
2. Yet no one has consistently won there
3. Yet no one has consistently won there
4. The PAC12 is the best conference for air raid, fuck the weather it’s not real, and as far as talent, see 2 and 3 above
5. Yeah, a 3x national champion head coach that has won everywhere he’s been is totally fine with mediocrity.
6. Salaries are only going up everywhere - once UW has B1G TV money he will restructure yet again and be paid top 10 money regardless if he stays. Moot point. The current/future B1G teams make up 8 of the top 25 highest paid coaches - and should Washington want to, they will make DeBoer the 9th/top 25 nationally paid coach

You really don’t think Urb couldn’t go in there and win fast? You’re acting like A$M has always sucked. I’m saying they haven’t. RC Slocum had pretty good success there and other!other coaches have had quality seasons. Make a logical comparison atleast to a team like Clemson or LSU. Both teams underachieved for many years before they got the right coach. Personally I thought Jimbo was a shit hire from day one. I know he won a championship, but he was real average without a generational qb like Jameis.

SEC doing same thing as B1G so no SEC west for the new coach.

Yes if Urban went there they’d win. And if your sister had nuts, you’d have a brother.

So your argument is that a top 5 CFB coach all time will keep being good at another school? Shocker. Yes - RC Slocum did a great job from 1992-1998.

The point here is, guys like Urban don’t even seem to look at the job. I don’t think it’s a place where they will ever give their coach total control. Boosters are way too meddling. And something just isn’t right. Urban is one of the only people I can see going in and saying “the best thing you can do is give us your money, but leave me alone…” and have them respect it.

They have lost 4+ 23 of the last 25 years. No I will not compare them to teams that eventually figured it out until they at least win their division in their conference or matter at the end of a season in the slightest. Then we can say “maybe they are finally figuring it out”
