Who Replaces Jimbo?

[rolltide7854]

I could see them trying for a big hire and missing out like Ucheat has tried and then settle for Petrino. Petrino won at Arkansas where it is IMO harder to win at. His issue is he has never beat Saban.

 

[mlh]

I hope they don't hire Lanning. I'd like to see him at Bama after Saban retires.

Yeah but that was ages ago. Petrino is just another in a long line of "OCs who aren't actually head coach material". Just like Fisher, who they just fired. Just like Kiffin, who they will likely write a blank check. IOW, they never learn.

Someone not all that far away from College Station that should be looked at is the Tulane coach. He has done a great job with the Greenies.

The why on earth would you suggest this as a good choice?

Wouldn't that be a great fit...a fake coach for a fake military school.

Oh my goodness. I didn't even think about that one but yeah it makes the most sense. Splash here but not based on substance.

Prime won't stick around college coaching for long. He only cares about getting the 3 players he actually knows the name of to the NFL. Once they're gone, he's done.

You only got 4.4 million out of these dopes…?

Let's hope they settle on Petrino. Texas A&M should compete for national championships with the right coach.

People have always said this, but I’m sitting here asking “Why? Based on what?” Is this just something that’s generally accepted by the masses but it has absolutely no validity?

Surprised to see there wasn't already a who's next at A&M thread, and I'm wondering if Dabo might not be a top target?
Word is he dislikes NIL but maybe that's because the money may not flow as freely in Pickens CO. SC, as it does in Texas. Also, we all recently saw he's pretty upset at the lack of appreciation at Clemson from certain people.
Two other considerations. If Dabo is open to leaving.... he may realize that Bama is not going to call, and the other is he obviously has a strong mutual respect with Coach Stallings and from what I recall Coach was or is on the Board of Regents at A&M.
One other big box he checks and that's beating CNS on the big stage. That could be enough for those folks.
Just a thought..............

Urban Meyer?

Money. Nothing more. Money now buys players. Get the best players with a good coach and you will win.

My vote would be for the Aggies to promote their OC.

Wouldn't surprise me if he would be named Interim HC...

I mean, sure. But people have been saying this about aTm for decades, and I never understood it.

 

[stlimprov]

Money. Nothing more.

The Jimbo experience would suggest that there IS more to it.

 

[MetaZeus]

Jimbo Fisher to MSU
Zach Arnett to aTm.

I want all of our SEC brethren to have good coaches. Not great ones. Just good ones. And I want all of them to have 8-4 to 9-3 records.

When does Pruitt's show cause order expire? He never beat Bama either but I think he was a good coach at Ucheat.
