It's been proven that you can get one of those regardless of whether or not you are an A&M graduate and some have committed identity theft to get one.
Here's the key data point though. After running a search for all posts and topics on the SEC Rant A&M forum, I received the following:

Dabo has won 70 games the past 6 years and has had 6 straight 10 win seasons. Watson started at Clemson for 2 years and a few games his sophomore season. Dabo went to 2 Orange Bowls, winning one, before Watson stepped foot on campus. I think he knows what he's doing.

I would be ecstatic with Dabo Swinney as A&M's coach. It's not happening.

He's 2-1 versus Auburn. About to be 3-1.

I can't vouch for Fish Fear Me, but I suspect your assumption d doesn't hold water.
I've been around here almost 5 years....I don't think I've ever posted on the A&M forum either. I'm not sure that I've visited that forum more than a couple of times.

What a joke. This from Dallas writer and no shred of evidence to support it.
Fools on TexAgs debating that we're just a good of a program as Clemson.

My thought on A&M for the day.
The problem with A&M is that they consider themselves as having all the tools save that one, "establishment" coach is is going to push them over the edge.
I think they would do a lot better to swing for the fences with someone who is new and who will basically INVENT an attitude and an approach for the school.
Harbaugh was head coach at an FCS school before he went to Stanford and he's made a difference that has lasted 10 years. A&M needs a young, charismatic guy with ties to the NFL who can get buy in from tight ends and linemen and try to craft a niche for A&M. The "almost but not quite as good as the others" is not a niche.
A&M is a unique place and it needs a unique football mentality and style and it doesn't have that.
If most Aggies look at the loss to Texas as a way for them to move on to a new coach, and start out the SEC right, then in retrospect, that Alabama win and the Heisman may have in the long run held them back.

Look at Florida before Steve Spurrier, LSU before Nick Saban, Clemson before Dabo Swinney, Oregon before Mike Bellotti, TCU before Gary Patterson, and Navy before Paul Johnson as examples.
I'm disregarding your Harbaugh example because Bill Walsh was Stanford's coach for a while.

Mike Sherman was gone regardless of whether or not he beat Texas. He publicly spoke out against the SEC move after it happened. So did Bill Byrne. You can't have the head coach and athletic director undermining the university president and chancellor and expect to start right.

Dabo not taking any high level HC job is not a slam at any school including aTm. It is just the fact that Dabo has a ridiculously great gig where he will be able to do no wrong for a very long time. In addition to making really good money, Dabo has a tremendous among of influence that goes on in the community and with the Athletic Department...Not only is the money great, but the power ain't bad either!
I don't know if Dabo is the kind of guy that would take any job (outside of Alabama) just to make some extra money...
With his faith, I could more easily see Dabo moving into the pulpit or working with the church full time for a while anyway.

There's a significant number of people that just don't like him and aren't going to be swayed by facts.
When Chad Morris left, that was going to be the end of Dabo. All he's done since is go to a pair of title games and win one of them.
Now they've just changed the chant to "he won't win without Watson."
They're like the people that keep saying "Saban's lost it, Bama loses X games this year." They've got no rational reason to make such a statement, they just keep saying it hoping that eventually the day will come when they're right.

Dabo has it made up here (I live in Greenville), he ain't going no where till Saban calls ready to hang it up. I got sauces baws, and about as close a sauce as you can get ;-)

what makes ya'll so sure Dabo would take the Bama job. I mean, Rich Rod turned it down...

The job that will be there for whomever follows Saban will be just a TAD more attractive than it was in 2006.
As far as Dabo taking it, I don't think anyone is sure he would take it. What most of us are saying is that it is probably the only job that would tempt him to leave Clemson. He's not only a Bama alum that played on a national title team, he was born and raised in Birmingham. Those factors might be enough to pull him away from what he's built into a very good job.

You may be right. I think a proven guy like Peterson would give us a very fresh take on the program while also creating a ton of momentum since he's a big name. He would probably be my top choice of the super long shot guys, but it won't happen
I am sure some interesting mid major and lower major guys will emerge this year along with Morris that will be the more realistic candidates
