Who do you think is on their way out after this year if things don't improve quick, fast, and in a hurry?

And why is everyone's first answer Jimbo?

I am not sure who is first out. As far as Jimbo goes, he has had about six years with all of the resources needed to at least win the division and hasn't done it. At TAMU no resource from facilities to fertile recruiting ground is lacking. The only thing missing is adequate coaching.

I know the buy out is huge. But with Okie and Texas coming to SEC next year. They are going to be number 3 in recruiting their own state behind those two.

And I could see a push for Lanning or even to bring Elko back with the success he is seeing at Duke.

I would be incredibly surprised if Lanning accepted a job at A&M. That doesn't fit the way he's built. I'm not saying he wouldn't leave Oregon if he felt the right reason, but, he's a construction worker with pride in his work. A&M don't want a construction worker, they want a miracle worker.

The Jimbo experiment has been in construction for 6 years. They would probably just settle for a plumber to get the shit out at this point.
 
The 2nd half of the season is very important for Jeff Hafley, but Castellanos may save his job regardless.
 
There should be a seat burning nuclear fire right now but for some reason it seems that the movers and shakers only want to keep adding cushions.

He isn't in my top 10 picks. But money makes things happen funny.

And it is going to be awfully hard for ATM to get anyone too cheap when they proved the dick they willing to whip around on Jimbos contract.

I will say. Elko at ATM scares me. He is a smart calculated coach with a good head on his shoulders. Give him access to Texas and SEC recruiting and he could be on the defense what Sark or Lane is to the offense side of the ball.

that twink Riley is going to make a late run for the seat

Take a season or 2 in the B1G as long as he gets a new DC and trainer. They're soft. Utah would be a second tier team in the B1G,and along with Washington are the only teams in the PAC that play B1G style...
 
Talked to USC friends when he was hired and said it was a bad hire at the time. He is just a better offensive mind Kliff Kingsbury. But still just as flawed.

They all raved about all the talent he would harness with NIL blah blah.

I hope he stays there for years. Because it always comes back to the normal Riley flaw. You isolate his QB and keep them from being the hero. And all of the sudden they can't move the ball or they get desperate.

I was super interested when Riley was hired because at Oklahoma he was handed the keys to a sports car and told not to fuck it up. Taking over at USC it was much more of a rebuild and caused him to get super heavy in the portal. I still stand behind the idea that coaches that lean way too heavy on the portal for starters and depth and not just to plug holes are just making problems they kicking the can down the road on.
