If A&M passes on Jeff Traylor, I’m told by respected college football source that Baylor and Arkansas will be waiting in line.If they move on from current coaches. Reports say Arkansas is bringing Sam Pittman back.

I just don't see A&M spending 76 million on firing Jimbo to only hire a g5 coach, I mean Traylor is good and all but not the splash hire I would expect from A&M, I figured they would target a current successful P5 coach
They do have a clear path forward. They may or may not see it however. Unlike Baylor they do have the ability to get almost anyone they want. Not anyone at the top of their game at a decent job now like Daboer or Lanning. But A&M does have alot more available to them than we do at this particular time. That said I'm glad Baylor in the past week has started at least working on some of the big picture problems they have.EvilTroyAndAbed said:
Why did aggy do this without having a clear path forward? Who is the big sexy hire that they want?
This sounds like Texas when they've done this before thinking they would get Saban.

Why is Jeff Traylor such a good hire?
Basically the same path as Art more or less. (Stephenville vs Gilmer / Houston vs UTSA)boognish_bear said:BaylorB254 said:

Former Texas HSFB coach in Gilmer. Has the respect of Texas HSFB coaches. Has turned around the UTSA program in short order.
UTSA was a dumpster fire the not having a winning season in the 7 years before he arrived.
Might be the only way we keep Schobel as well.BigGameBaylorBear said:
Proven winner, deep texas connections, experience rebuilding programs, fun offense
I don't think CDA is fired. I honestly believe he recognizes he is way over his head and making a move to the NFL is better suited for his skills, etc. He can resigned to jump and no one will blame him for doing that...then the focus shifts to Macky Poo....TinFoilHatPreacherBear said:
A tweet that does not need any actual source. Ground breaking news, if BU fires its coach, it and Arky will be highly interested in Traylor. Of course they would. No source needed. I could have tweeted that and I don't know anyone. If he's so connected, please let us know if we're actually getting rid of CDA.
I don't see aggy being happy with anyone with lesser name recognition than N. Saban, U. Meyer, P."B" Bryant or even K. Rockne.BigGameBaylorBear said:

I'm sure we'd still pay him - it's the Baylor way!boognish_bear said:BluesBear said:I don't think CDA is fired.

I don't think it'll work out that easily unfortunately. If he resigns he's leaving multiple millions on the table.
