I would think this year will certainly be a better year to be on the market than last.

I think Chip Kelly is a no brainer hire if he's an option.

I really like Mike Gundy if he is tired of waiting for Pickens to die.

If Chad Morris is our last option, then I still like our chances for an upgrade over Sumlin. Sumlin's not an X's and O's guy, he's not a grinder on the recruiting trail, he's not a rah rah hype guy or a sweet old (grand) father figure type. He's just a lazy dickhead who has taken credit for other's success and road coat-tails to the easiest retirement in america.

I ditto all of this.

Last year was not the year for A&M to be in the market. There weren't many coaches up for sale, the big schools to either side of us were looking for coaches (and LSU had to settle for O, LOL, which shows how bad of a market it was) and Kelly was still in the NFL until January.

I think target #1 should be Kelly, the fallback should be Gundy - who publicly hates Boone Pickens and has posted amazing win totals given he's at OU's little brother competing with TCU and Tech for the leftover TX HS scraps - and the emergency guy should be Chad Morris IF he shows more improvement at SMU this season.
