Working in and around the capitol in Austin I've been hearing for a long time that Perry was eventually gonna be A&M chancellor. However my take is that means A&M *system* chancellor and that Sharp is and always has been a place holder until Perry decides to hang it up and take that position. If you are upset about Sharp's system chancellor role and absolutely do not want Perry to get it, I think you will be SOL on that one. I think that one's been in the works ever since Sharp first took the position. Put it this way I've been hearing it from people who should know from the moment Sharp first took the spot, and where there's smoke there's usually fire.

Chancellor makes sense for Perry, President does not. Have to have the academic cred to be President and Perry barely has a Bachelors Degree. He could be a very effective Chancellor though, that job is about raising money and politics whereas the President is about working with the faculty and students.

I will say this, students at Mizzou will absolutely LOVE Loftin. He will go to every event he can on campus and support every sporting team and club. He loves to shake hands and just talk. Just a fantastic human being. He is definitely the type of guy who you leaves an impression, I would have to Google to remember who the President was when I was at A&M as the only time I was within 20 feet of him in my 4 years was when he handed me my degree.

BTW, Loftin was the "Anytime, anywhere" guy when asked about renewing the series with Texas. Guy has brass balls.
