A&M has to be getting a lot of pressure after this flop of a season with a sweep at home by previously winless Mizzou
This will be the first time the preseason #1 didn?t even make a Regional

That job opening up may change our equation. Although, they crazy.Quote:

Yes, last year Texas A&M did what the pro-Parker crowd wants us to do this year.
I mean, it's not the same situation exactly, but I'd say it was more justified for them that it would be for us.
We gonna have to miss on alot of guys for Parker to get it
Respectfully, we don't really have a "pro Parker" crowd cause we don't know any options. Talking just members of the fan base without inside scoop. But I'm certainly thankful the team is winning.Quote:

We're the better job, but I still prefer being the only big job open in the market.
Hopefully, us making the move when we did means our ducks are in a row and A&M also hiring doesn't matter.
Sadly yes, we did go straight to him. Mac made a couple of bad decisions and hurt himself with some boosters. Not that he was on the outs, but Fla came calling and he took the opportunity.Quote:

Number 2, players and especially parents don't make decisions on who is hired and fired. If I were Trev Alberts I'd tell them all to kick rocks and pound sand and do what needs to be done.Quote:

I can say Steve Smith really wanted the job at one point.Quote:

Steve and Mitch would have had a great staff and built on what Mac left. It would have been very good.Quote:

Steves Brother told me he was really disappointed that he wasn't considered. Anyone who knew Steve knew what a good all around guy he was. Baylor was a good fit for him/Quote:

But yeah.....Polk II and all that ***
Trev Albert's had a sense of Humor, beaten out of him by the Job, most likelyQuote:

TAM is a football school, this is a made-to-order opportunity to destroy these punks and look like Godzilla. Cut them all. TAM can field a high quality team with Houston, Baylor, Oklahoma, Ok State, DBU, and TCU transfers almost overnight.
Paul Manieri wanted our job at that time as well and we didn't even give him the time of day. I would venture that he would have taken it.Quote:
