  1. i am obviously a large Jeff Traylor fan, but fuck. paying $76 million to get to Jeff Traylor seems like a career ending decision for Ross Bjork. where is the upside here? "everyone else told us no, including the guy that makes a tremendous amount of sense, was in the building a few years ago and is a super hot name - so we had to go hire Jeff fucking Traylor"? his career path to Texas/A&M/etc was always UTSA --> bridge job --> really good job. if Elko says no then here is a live look at Ross Bjork:
  2. re: A&M being a "coach killer" job. sure seems like it absolutely killed their last 4 coaches in a row and killed the job of 10/13 coaches they have had since 1950. 3 were successful somewhat - Sherrill, Gene Stallings who wasn't successful until 20 years after and Bear Bryant. 5/17 were successes going back to when Dana Bible was there in 1928. so yeah, seems like it is a coach killer job going back basically 100 years. Kevin Sumlin: 51-26 at A&M, fired in 17, hired at Arizona, went 9-10, fired after 2020 and hasn't been a head coach again and is now an OC at Maryland. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Mike Sherman: 25-25 at Texas A&M, fired in 2011, hasn't been a college coach since. was a high school coach - went 4-18 and resigned. was a coach in the CFL, went 5-13 and resigned/was fired. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Franchione: 32-28 at A&M, fired in 07. went to Texas State, went 39-43 there. retired after going 3-9 in 2015 and ended his coaching career. had 1 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. RC Slocum: 123-47-2 at Texas A&M. forced to resign in 02, never coached again at any level after he was the HC at A&M. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Jackie Sherrill: 52-28-1 at A&M, forced to resign in 88. then went 75-75-2 at Mississippi State. had 7 wins in 13 years there, finished his last 3 years 8-27. never coached again. had 7 winning seasons as a HC after he left A&M. success after he left. Tom Wilson: went 21-19 at A&M. left there and never as a HC again. was coaching high school football 2 years later. didn't have a winning season as a CFB HC after he left A&M. Emory Bellard: 47-27 at A&M, resigned midseason after losing 2 games by a combined score of 67-6. coached at Miss State for 7 years after A&M. had 2 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Gene Stallings: 27-45-1 at A&M before they fired him in 1971. Then wandered the desert for almost 20 years before he became a HC at Alabama in 1990. had a winning record all 7 years he was there, including a national championship and 2 other top 5 finishes. had 7 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. let's call him a success after he left. Hank Foldberg: went 6-21 at A&M before they fired him in 1964. never coached again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Jim Myers: 12-24-4 at A&M before they fired him in 1961. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Bear Bryant: 25-14-2 at A&M. left for Alabama. 232-46-9 there including a bunch of national championships. clear success after he left. Raymond George: 12-14-4, fired after the 53 season. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Harry Stiteler: 8-21-2 at A&M before he left coaching in 50. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Homer Norton: 82-53-9 at A&M, they fired him in 47. never was a head coach again. didn't have a winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Matt Bell: 24-21-3. i think they fired him in 33. he went on to SMU and went 79-40-8 including a national championship and 3 other conference championships. clear success after he left. DV Graves: 6-1 at A&M in 1918 before he was hired over but stayed on as an assistant under Dana X Bible. Bible was there in 17 and back in 19. he went on to Montana State in and was there for 2 years going 5-5-1. had 1 winning season as a HC after he left A&M. Dana X Bible: 72-19-9 at A&M. idk what happened with him leaving but he won 50 games at Nebraska and 63 at Texas. this is also as far back as i'm willing to go. clear success after he left. also fuck mike farrell.
  3. This is why they have to fire him btw. Not only 14? point dogs to a bad TCU team but no bright spots. So much red.
  4. was he fucking around? or is that the basis of his hate for Campbell?
  5. "ITS A TECH COMPANY THAT HAPPENS TO MAKE CARS" that's why they say it's worth it...but it isn't that and it is the most overpriced stock in the history of stock.
  6. yeah, he was the #1 RB recruit in the country, quit on the team, tried to come back and they unanimously said "no thanks" so he didn't play football his senior year. idk how he is with golden specifically but they tweeted back and forth some IIRC
  7. yeah, Durkin calls the defense now for A&M. Robinson is the co-DC in name only so they could pay him more. he's currently the 2nd highest paid DL coach in the country just ahead of Bo Davis and just behind Larry Johnson by like 67k. he's just outside the top 10 highest paid DCs in football at that $1.1m.
  8. you are preaching to the choir on this front man. correct me here if i am wrong @wood but the discussion is that the goal is to have a race in vegas on the strip in part to try and market vegas to that european crowd. they DGAF about making Americans or the Chinese get up early to watch a race but are against it happening in Europe.
  9. i know it's high based on how much they did to keep him a few years ago i really and truly just don't know how they keep him. their last like 4 games have been on ESPN+, not even normal TV. im going to assume their last game of the year will be on ESPN+ because both WVU and Baylor are so bad.
  10. is this bad? Tesla Model 3 last place in german MOT/vehicle inspection report
  11. yeah but the timeline is off in Europe for a race at that time. 8p in Vegas is 4a in London and 5a in Paris/Rome/Berlin. meanwhile 11p in Vegas is 7a in London and 8a in Paris/Rome/Berlin while also being mid afternoon in China.
  12. heh first of all: second of all: also...yeah, i may have come across a bit strong defending Traylor.
  13. that ended in like May 2020 just for what it's worth. when they were still owned by the original owners, before they sold to NYT Wasserman is just a general meathead. his last article there was posted 5/20/2020 https://theathletic.com/author/olin-buchanan-texags/ it looks like they signed the agreement in July 2019 and as far as i can tell the last article shared from texags there was that 5/2020 article.
  14. incredible. here is Aaron Glenn's coaching history: would he be an interesting hire? absolutely. can he recruit? who knows. has he ever coached in college? nope. has he ever shown any interest in college? well, he chose to start his career off with a team who played in the Southern Indoor Football League before starting at a college, so.... these morons are only two steps away from having a ton of alums as coaches like OU does (Lebby OC, Finley at TE, Hall at Safties, Murray at RB) - which is really dumb.
  15. where i'm hearing it from is that level as well. they can't keep Dave after this year for a lot of reasons but here is their home game results: lost 42-31 to Texas State lost 20-13 to Utah won 30-7 to Long Island University lost 38-6 to Texas lost 39-14 to Texas Tech lost 30-18 to Iowa State lost 25-24 to Houston its killing attendance and killing interest in the program. unless it's a Jimbo level buyout idk how they can keep him. if it's a Gus Malzahn level buyout he's toast. again, this is coming from the BOR level at Baylor, not the booster level, not talking within the AD - if it's at the BOR level it's a very real problem for him
  16. there is a LOT more to that story that you left out. i'll drop the wiki summary: here was his record at WVU then like 2 years later he had a heart attack on the golf course and died
  17. people think he's a good coach ...because he has shown he's a good coach.
  18. right, Elko calls the defense but he is absolutely his protoge and he got a bump when he left A&M to DC in title only
  19. honestly i think he's fine. what's more likely to you? Elko's protoge (who he hired as DC btw) is shit or Durkin was fucking with the LB room/targets/coaching? Santucci was fine with Elko there the immediately went to shit once Elko left and Durkin came in
  20. yeah, he's Kirby's right hand man, has been for years since he was a GA, was Kirby's first hire at Georgia and isn't on the Kirby Smart career path? lol that's a "we called, they said after the season and we said nevermind" response if i've ever seen one.
