Y'all... Just cause you got money and male cheerleaders, doesn't mean tier 1 coaches want to come there. Right now, y'all just need someone that can bring some stability.

They need someone who genuinely wants to make A&M a national champion as their ultimate goal.
I don't think they have had a coach who had that as their ultimate goal since Slocam.

I'm going to say this again. Alabama fans should really be nicer to A&M fans with the way they suck up to ya'll on this board. They really want your approval. It's sweet.

Like a position coach who loses five games a year?

It's a ridiculous take and he knows it, too much hopium.
And I'd say top 5. There's no way you could name 10 better, I don't even think you could say 5. Not in the NIL era.
Bama, Michigan, Ohio St, UGA, nobody is committing more $$$ to that end. Remove those 4 coaches (lol okay Ryan Day sucks but the other 3 are legit) and make the case that they're in a better position than atm.
1) Texas
2)......?
Everyone, myself included (LSU fan), is just hoping they make another bad hire. Good news is they make a lot of those....

Great take - let’s take a look at recent coaches’ jobs before A&M.
1. Florida State
2. University of Houston
3. Houston Texans
4. Alabama
None of those are worth a damn.

Careful, OP, or A&M may steal your coach again.
I'm kidding and also agree. The safe route worked with Sherman until it didn't in 2011, but he set things up very nicely for the next guy which was basically the goal all along. What's different is A&M doesn't have to fully rebuild this time.
The last two hires have been a big name, natty-winning coach and another who came from C-USA. Find someone in the middle from a Power 5 conference school or go outside the box with Campbell if you can somehow convince him to come home.

The pressure on the next A&M coach will be extreme. There is no rebuilding. You have no time. If year 2 they are still going 8-4 then will it be time to fire the coach?
No coach wants to do with that.

How can someone "come there"?

You think that pressure is bad? Lol

Alabama has proof of success and talent stacked up.
Of course there will be pressure at Bama. There always is.
High pressure at a place that has proved it can win and max pressure at a place that hasn't proven it is two different things.

They can buy good players, they need a guy who can develop them and formulate a quality offensive and defensive identity. It’s that simple.

Well when you are guaranteed $100M+ the minute you set foot in fAggie land, who wouldn’t want that easy money?
Posted on 11/14/23 at 3:54 pm to bamabonners
Didn’t they take bamas coach 20 years ago?

Aggies need to be on their knees begging Glenn Schumann

Of course coaches want to go there. The difference is, they want to go there to get paid, not necessarily because they think they'll win.
Jimbo Fisher is living the American dream right now. Due $19 million in the next 60 days + $7.5 million per year every year until the early 2030s.
And he's getting paid all of that money to NOT work

Your fanbase has been spoiled rotten for 15 years (I’m saying it like it’s a bad thing but anyone would take that run), they will not take it well when whoever the next coach is has hiccups. Nobody questions Saban, your next coach will have no such luxury.
The problem is nobody, and I mean nobody, will be able to fill Sabans shoes. Now the guy that comes after THAT guy…..he’s in a good spot.

This is correct.
It's also why some Alabama fans will be shocked about who they can and can not hire once Saban retires.
