The Athletic has an article on the payout.

So the question is, how likely is it that aggy's Sports program borrows money from the academic side of the house.

If the money doesn't get paid back.....doesn't it become theft?

  • Long shot is former Aggy QB/Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson

 

it would make some sense for them to bring him in, but dude has NO experience playcalling and honestly it's probably better for him to keep learning from Slowik and stay in the Kyle Shanahan tree vs whoever A&M's OC ends up being.

To be totally honest, I don't think anyone on the short lists is the answer. Traylor has been good but this season has been a clear regression. Who fires Jimbo Fisher for a resume like that? Recruiting is only one part of the job, and it goes without saying that getting overlooked players to come to UTSA is very different from attracting 5 star guys (and using the portal). Meanwhile Duke just lost to Butterteeth.

clear regression?

they are 7-3 with the losses being by 3 to Houston (outgained Hou by 73 yards, avg 5.9 YPC BUT had 8 penalties and 3 turnovers) , to Army (style issue + frank harris didn't play) and Tennessee (expected, but Harris was hurt for that game as well)

they are 6-0 in conference and likely will be playing Tulane on the last week of the season with a chance to go to the AAC championship game on the line depending on what happens with SMU (8-2 Memphis and Navy left)

the issue with Traylor is he doesn't have the juice A&M fans and donors are going to want because of his name and UTSA. but he would do very good at that job IMHO

also, Duke lost by 2 points to North Carolina in double OT, while missing their clear best player and QB and after mounting a pretty huge 4thQ comeback. if you think that DUKE losing to NORTH CAROLINA in 2 OTs is bad idk what to tell you.

Traylor isn't a big name, but he's a solid talent evaluator and coach. Someone is going to strike gold when they hire him to coach a P5 school.

I agree with this. The "Home Run Hire" Head Coach strategy has not worked spectacularly well for anybody in the last 25 years other than Bama. They would be better off bringing in a lower level guy like Traylor or Sonny Dykes, or a sharp coordinator ready for the jump. 


Which is why I'm hoping they again try the "Home Run Hire" route. Hugh Freeze, come on down.

Major Applewhite?
Gonna be super hard to bring in a guy on a shorter contract they are not doing another multi year deal.
 

Whack ass fan base is expecting Urban.

They will give Kliff a sniff. 

They should look to the state of Kansas, not sure either guy would consider a lateral to slight downgrade move, but maybe for more money.

Would they go after Dan Campbell? The most prominent Aggie out there but I wouldn’t see him leaving and Lions might be on a SB run.

this was his reaction when they called him, a coach who has NEVER coached at the college level and very clearly has no interest at this time:

On the bright side, they're only 2 away from being able to claim another championship.
