Bout what I expected so far.
Aggie- true to form, they start hot but 7/8 wins.
Ark- didn't watch them.
OM- can score, defense sucks
Us - better than I thought
Bama- is bama
Aub- didn't see but will find out a lot bout them next week. 8-4
Lsu- etling looked better. But byu freakin sucks.

I should clarify... I thought we looked pretty solid yesterday and talked myself into a shot at 9-3. I'm back to absolute ceiling of 8-4 and would jump all over an offer of 7-5 right now. I think 6-6 is the safe bet

We will go either 7-5 or 8-4. We will win our four out of conference games plus Kentucky, Ole Miss, and Arkansas and if we beat LSU that will get us to 8-4. It's not that hard to figure out. We are a talented OLine from being something special though. For some reason, we don't recruit OL worth a shit. All of the great OL in the state have gone to Alabama or been bought by Ole Miss. Hevesy should have been fired for not getting Lashley. Guess what his position is, Right Tackle...

A&M is taking advantage of a shitty run defense. Didn't Stirkel (sp) their starting QB get hurt and leave the game? Also I heard Eason's injury he had last night is season ending. I think that makes the UGA game somewhat easier to win.

It's a soft culture.

Texas HS football is an extremely finesse/7 on 7 type game, & it carries over to their college teams & the Big 12 in general.

For all that we complain about Mississippi HS football & how uncomplex it is, typically Mississippi boys will hit your ass.

Sumlin will be fired, but I just don't see any benefit of doing it till at least mid-season.

The only reason to do it anyway before the season is over is to get a head start on the search, but that same benefit exists in mid-October as it does now.

No point in firing him right now. Would be a reactionary thing to do, not the smartest thing to do.

No point in firing him right now. Would be a reactionary thing to do, not the smartest thing to do.

I kinda disagree. What must be done eventually must be done immediately. That team has already quit on him. Why make him coach another game? They could still salvage something out of this season if they had an Orgeron type rah-rah guy amongst their assistants who could at least get everyone on the team pulling in the same direction. That could get them to 7-8 wins potentially. No way that happens under Sumlin.

A&M a top ten job? Lol. That's hysterical. What have they done to deserve top ten job status? They won't pay a coach $6 million.

Are you insane? They have more money than God. They will absolutely pay the right guy $6 million. Saban and Harbaugh are both making $8 million at schools that have about 75% of A&M's budget.

I don't doubt they can at all. Trying to figure out who they would pay that though. Not sure they pull a huge name from a big program. I think they end up paying less even though they certainly can pay that and then some

It may not be Top Ten, but it's a sweet gig with an organization that could buy Bammer with the money in their couch cushions....


SEC - Bammer, LSU, UGA, UF, A&M?, UT?, AU?
B1G - Michigan, OSU, PSU, Nebraska?
Big12 - Texas, Okie
Pac - USC, Oregon?
ACC - FSU, Clemson, Miami
Indep - ND?

In the SEC, only Bama and LSU are ahead of A&M. UT, Auburn, UF, UGA are nowhere close.

Big 10, only Michigan / Ohio State. Nebraska is a terrible gig and has been for almost 2 decades now. Penn State is the same category as your Auburns, Tennessees, etc.

Big 12 is Texas and Oklahoma

PAC 12 is USC only

ACC is FSU only. Clemson / Miami are again in that Auburn / Tennessee / UGA tier

Then you have Notre Dame.

That's 9 jobs that are probably better (and I would say Texas is equal, not better) and a bunch that are worse.

Largest athletic budget in the nation, probably the swankiest big stadium there is, very fertile recruiting ground. It's definitely a Top 10 job.

I just threw him in there because he just recently made public comments about wanting to return to coaching after rebuking multiple offers over the past decade or so. And because A&M has a history of going the NFL route (Sherman). I agree it's unlikely....but stranger things have happened.

None of those coaches will be at A&M next year. Kelly already said he wants a gig out west. Trust me. No big name is coming to an SEC west school as long as Saban is at Alabama.

They didn't have Jimbo lined up. Their sights were set on Herman. They ****ed that football coaching hire up.

No they had Jimbo lined up 2 years ago, but they stuck with Les, because the president vetoed it because of the financial problems.

This is just silly and reeks of delusions of grandeur. If it's a top ten job, then they as a program have dreadfully underachieved throughout their entire history.

You don't fire Les unless you have Jimbo lined up. It's pretty easy there. They downgraded to the Nth degree when they hired Coach O. Aleva is going to be fired after O does O things the next couple of seasons.

Yeah they really screwed it up from the get go. It was a big time cluster. And you're right it's going to cost Aleva his job.

That was just dumb. You pay the man the $7 million. He is going to recoup that money because LSU would have won and they would have looked good doing it. Saban has made Alabama a shit ton of money. Paying a salary isn't everything. If I was Aleva, I would have fought for my guy (which was Fisher). That's why LSU is dumb and why Aleva will be fired.
