Yeah, that could very well be true. However, if the Aggies truly have petersen's ear and they don't step up and pay the man, then that shows me they are not serious about playing with the big boys. Rumor is $4 million per will get it done. That's the price of doing business.

How do you figure that? They owe Sherman several millions (number is going to be closer to what he is saying they ow him) and a large B12 buy out as well. Throw in the fact that their athletic department is in shambles financially I would have to strongly disagree with you.

Essentially the message that has been sent to the coaching world from TAMU is this: Even if you're 27-23, or 25-25 after your fourth season, we will still fire your ass. Mix that in with the SEC West and there you go Aggies.

What you get is coaches across the country going "Uhh I'll listen, but no thanks."

Um, going .500 after 4 years should get you fired! Would UT be okay with a coach that goes .500 over 4 years?

Any smoke at Aggieland this morning. Im hearing Ritche and Peterson with Sumlin falling behind. The Bulldogs are saying the coach is not going anywhere. We need closure and a winning coach. I guess the Larry and Lee show is going East.

Sounds like Petersen declined. Nothing definitive on richt

[rancher]

Reading now that the Richt talk is heating up and legitimate. Is this a contract extension ploy by Richt or is he serious about leaving. Word from Georgia is let him go and bring Kriby Smart back home as the Head Coach.

Hard to tell. YOu would like to think he's not just using them for an extension but it's happened before.

I don't think Petersen did it for those reasons. I think he's a genuine guy and had some legitimate interest, but his family is really entrenched in Boise.

If I had the time I really could come up with many more.IMO it has to do with people wanting results immediately and not seeing what talent they have or lack there of in a lot of cases on the current team. Some programs are so arrogant they think they have the talent and everything else to have instant succes. At A&M they had the talent this year on offense but their defensive talent was average at best. Sherm was getting the recruiting turned around and had the building blocks set in place to develope that talent. But lack of patience with high ranking staff leads to bigger turnover in coaching.

Well, reasonable people can disagree. I agree with you that, as a society, our desire for instand results is not a good thing. However, there were real signs of problems that went way beyond wins and losses. Sherman is a good man and did do a good job recruiting. However, there was simply no excuse for some of the losses. Again, he has a .500 record and a losing record in Big 12 play. If you take out the 3 or 4 pre-conference cream puff games every team plays, his record is much worse than .500.

I don't think the Aggies should be considered arrogant to expect better than .500.

I don't think the Aggies should be considered arrogant to expect better than .500.The main problem under Sherman is that he was getting out recruited by Texas, OU, and a few other schools on the top in state defensive talent. The main recruiting problem for the Aggies was on the defensive line. Everyone they thought they could get for 2-3 years ended up elsewhere. He was having to rely on guys that were passed up by those schools on the defensive side of the ball. Everyone knew that the offensive talent would go play under Sherm but doubted the defensive talent willingness to go there.



I think Art Briles recruiting ability at Baylor has a lot do with it too. They are getting some of the athletes that A&M usually gets forcing A&M to have to go further down the totem pole of recruits.

Very nice list there!

And I'm not too sure about the UT question, it's hard to answer considering the Longhorns haven't sucked like the Aggies have for the past two decades? But who knows, we might find out if Mack goes two more years at 500?

But....that would get back to my whole point on that other thread. That: UT has actually been on top and Austin knows it can be done there successfully for extended amounts of time. Firing a coach that underperformed is justified considering the bar has actually been set higher, specially really recently. That just is not the case at A&M.



We can argue all day about whether Sherman should have been fired or not, but it seems to me no matter where you go the people outside of College Station respected the hell out of Sherman and saw the great things he was doing. But the emotion inside of College Station blinded the Aggie fan-base from those things and now you're about to probably settle on Sumlin and IMO that just isn't an upgrade at all from the positive things Sherman was doing. The fanbase is definitely not going to be thrilled that the administration risked all this uncertainty and turmoil to hire a coach that doesn't really elevate y'alls chances too terribly much, if any.

Depends on what your cutoff is. McWilliams was on my list above. You also seem to forget A&M's domination of UT during the late 80s through the mid 90s. And let's not forget RC won a Big 12 Championship, too. The Fran situation set the program back, but saying that the Aggies have sucked for two decades is just flat out wrong.

Aggies have only two 10 win seasons in the past eighteen years. In ten of those seasons they couldn't even win more than seven games.

Someone posted a tweet from a Georgia reporter that said Richt and his AD had a lunch appointment that was cancelled. NO reason given. There was even one rumor that Chip Kelly is not not out of the picture. One thing is for sure, the A&M athletic department found out who the leak was on the Sherman firing and they shut that person's mouth because there hasn't been a peep.

I think they're handling it the right way. I think it was the DAllas paper that was critical of them not having the next coach already lined up. However, that's exactly what they did on the last two hires and that didn't work out so well. You can't have it both ways.

They may not land any of these big fish, but they are at least taking a big swing. You never know if one of the big guys would say yes unless you ask.

The A&M job is much more attractive that many folks, especially on this board, are giving it credit. The fact that Petersen, Richt and Chip Kelly would even entertain the idea given that they all have pretty good situations should tell you something.

There is a lot of smoke around Richt. Supposidly he had a meeting today with the AD that was cancelled. That was reported by a reporter in Georgia on his twitter. Someone said Richt is in College Station.

As I mentioned earlier, there was a rumor about Tubberville getting a look. That one makes little sense to me, but oh well. And there was a tweet from someone around lunch that the Petersen option was not completely dead.

I would prob give the edge to potato, but peach does have an sec track record. Peach doesn't.

[1st and goal]

I know the suspense is keeping people on edge, but I wish they'd take their time and kick some more tires. The opportunity to coach A&M should have many a coach salivating.

I liked Sherman, I just didn't like his win/loss record. Hindsight, I would've offered him a chance to step down voluntarily. I don't feel sorry for him (cuz he's rich). He did leave the program in great standing, keeping players in line and teaching them respect. Last year, I couldn't understand why he kept Jerrod J. in for so many games (while he had an obvious throwing problem). Only thing I can think of was, it was the "right" thing to do for Jerrod, giving him every opportunity to increase his stock. Fast forward to this year's UT game, I theorize that he kept throwing to Fuller for the same reason. Even the announcers could not understand why he wasn't throwing to Swopes more. 3 interceptions later, I think he might still be the coach had they not blown it.

I'd like to see Peterson get it. Also have to think that Fedora had something going on with UNC prior to this.
