  1. Yeah, I think this is right. Bama beating Georgia can really only be good for us. The committee will have a really hard time reconciling Texas or Alabama, and you solve that problem by putting them both in over a one loss Pac12 champ.
  2. Absent complete chaos with upsets over the next two weeks, any team that isn’t a conference champ isn’t going to make the playoff this year. Full stop. Anybody worried about winning out but being below a team that isn’t a P5 champ is wasting their time and doesn’t understand how the committee looks at their rankings.
  3. He’s an up and comer only insofar as he’s new to being a college football head coach. He’s 54 years old, he would be the 5th oldest head coach in the SEC. He’s only 3 years younger than Jimbo
  4. Sark makes 5.6 or so right? They’ll pay 5.7 minimum. Those dipshits aren’t going to allow themselves to have a lower salaried coach than us, no matter who it is.
  5. Haha, good lord their dramatic reaction to that tweet being still up. You’d think that link contained the fucking nuclear codes or something.
  6. Haha, after all that Traylor fluffing you’ve been doing the last week…I’m pretty sure this was the exact point many of us have been trying to make.
  7. My first reaction was why the hell would he make that move, but after thinking about it, if they drop a big enough bag he’d have to consider it. He would probably only need to be in College Station for like two years before getting a good P5 job if he turned that offense around in a real way. The possibility of fast tracking your way to an SEC HC job plus millions of Aggie dollars would be hard to turn down. Hopefully his tenuous connection to the Sips makes it a non-starter for them.
  8. I was just wondering the same thing. We’d go after Urban hard again, maybe we get him if we aren’t competing against NFL jobs. FSU hired Norvell that off-season, he would have been a candidate. Campbell was already starting to slide a bit at that point but he would have come up. Kiffin was also hired that offseason, but I don’t really see him being seriously considered (even with his similarities to Sark). I can’t really remember who else we were clamoring for at the time aside from NFL pipe dreams like John Harbaugh or Shanahan.
  9. Need to save a small percentage for if they beat LSU, miss out on a few targets, and have to panic hire Robinson before NSD
  10. So if Traylor gets the A&M job, does Looch hype him up for being a branch on the Charlie Strong or the Chad Morris coaching tree?
  11. I’d like to check your math on 99%, but I won’t argue that slam dunk hires for elite programs are rare. There is usually going to be a certain amount of projection and hope that the guy will translate to the bigger stage. I’m not holding his Gilmer time against him, it’s just that it’s almost irrelevant in evaluating him as a candidate. Someone mentioned earlier, TX high school success hasn’t translated into college success. So he’s a coach in his mid 50s with his most relevant experience being 5 years as a cfb position coach and success in 4 years as a head coach in conference USA. He may kill it at his next job, but that’s a pretty thin resume. I have no idea what Saban’s age when he won his first title has to do with anything. There are zero similarities about their career trajectories.
  12. I didn’t bring up Urban to compare the two. Urban was 37 when he got the BG job. Hell, he’s only 4 years older than Traylor RIGHT NOW. I have no idea where the idea that Traylor is some young guy on the come-up is coming from. Some of y’all have been Traylor pilled by IT. I respect what he did at Gilmer and so far at UTSW. He’s a good coach. He’s closer to the end of his career than the beginning though, and he’s yet to prove that he can be an elite big program cfb coach.
  13. Yeah fair enough. Looks like the most recent one was in the 40s, but point taken. Utah was kind of a middling program not in a power conference, but they certainly had a hell of a lot more football tradition than UTSA
  14. Urban Meyer took a Utah program that had 1 ten win season in its 100 year history and went 10-2 and 12-0 in two years there. I don’t know how many top 50 teams he beat, but presumably a few as he beat several P5 teams (or whatever they were called then) during that run. That Traylor isn’t an Urban level slam dunk hire isn’t exactly a hot take. But it’s not unrealistic for a truly elite coach to break through from a small school.
  15. If it’s Elko, I wonder if he would take Kevin Johns with him. Would be a pretty meh hire, especially when he probably needs to nail the OC to have any big time success. He was with Kliff at Tech for a year and then Norvel at Memphis before he was hired at Duke. He also looks exactly like a penis.
  16. Doesn’t matter, got (insert new hireX that Looch is in charge of pumping as the true savior of aggy football here).
  17. I’ll have you know that BurntOrange&White has way more than 15,000 posts.
  18. Got the wins we needed while being shitty enough that only our dumbest fans could make it a QB controversy. No complaints here.
  19. Yeah, it takes time at least. Kiffin had to build his reputation back up in a group of 5 job before getting Miss. Muschamp quickly got another SEC gig, but it was a step down from Florida to South Carolina. Had he been successful at SC, he would have probably gotten big time opportunities again. But like you said, if he was a good enough HC coach to kill it there he probably wouldn’t have failed at Florida in the first place.
  20. How often do situations that you are describing even come up though? You are either talking about a blue blood program that is rolling but loses their coach to scandal/the NFL or taking over for Saban after he retires. If he actually got an offer from them, I don’t see how Schumann could turn the Ags down on the hope that he would be a candidate for a unicorn job opening up in the next few years. Without even a guarantee that he would be the hire if one of them even opens up.
  21. Credit to Looch, he’s was right about the bolded part.
  22. Yeah, if that’s the level they aren’t going to take a current P5 head coach (Leipold/Elko). They’ll be looking at P5 coordinators and young group of 5 HC on the come up.
  23. There is no fucking way that Sankey is going to stick his neck out and basically accuse another conference of fixing their games. As blatant as it has seemed this season, there is no benefit to him or the SEC to kick that anthill. Do you really think the SEC loses any material value over the long-term if Texas (or OU) don’t make the CCG?
