So to be clear, you're suggesting what exactly?
I already acknowledged it's an ancillary benefit.

I think another emoticon would've drilled the point home. But your enthusiasm is noted.
And I of course can't tell you whether we'll continue to hire competent people. If we do, yes, it's a slam dunk. If not, you'll see what you saw with Fran and Sherman.
So yes, the slam dunk is contingent upon competent leadership. But isn't every AD?

is it not the AD's job to hire those competent leaders?

To be clear, I used "AD" for athletic department, not athletic director.
But it is the director's job to hire competent coaches. Here's hoping your boy is good. There's more to a successful AD than coaches, though. There are some personnel decisions out of Hyman's reach, in which case the admin. is on the hook.

Thanks for clearing that up. Otherwise, it would have been so confusing.

Yeah I'm an LSU fan, but I don't think there is any doubt they should be #1 on this list. The in state talent year in and year out is ridiculous. Louisiana has more players in the NFL per capita than any other state. And the second biggest school athletically in Louisiana is probably La Tech. The whole state is painted purple and gold, along with some parts of east Texas. The football program just needed someone to get it some noteriety like Saban did. Now players like Ed Reed and Reggie Wayne will be less inclined to leave the state. Success at LSU is much easier to sustain than at any other school, alot of talent and no in state competition.

it's funny how people think A&M is such a lock to become a powerhouse. yeah they are in the SEC now, but they have had the same resources before they joined and were nothing but mediocre. they had JFF come out of fricking nowhere and after one season, they are all of a sudden going to be elite? give me a break.
so true. w/o jff, a&m has been and will be mediocre. yea, they have lots of alumni support but the school had to loan their athletic dept millions just a coupla years ago. they couldn't even sell out at football. one good year and everybody wants to elevate them to the top tier? no.

I think you will find those who feel Texas a&m will become strong in the SEC are correct. Texas had a strong hold on Texas talent. By the way it won't be sudden, but it will happen. DWI and stop letting it get you mad.
btw: I've never heard anyone say it's a lock. I believe it's highly probable and if they have the right people in place it should happen.

What's your problem, LSU GrandDad?
Every. Single. Post.
It's odd.
We're not collectively Satan. Promise.

Coach JJ has LSU basketball poised for great things ahead. I would have never thought I would see a top 5 recruiting class on our basketball team in my lifetime. He has done it, and coached up a shite sandwich that Trent Johnson left us. LSU basketball looks very good for the future.
Football, baseball, track, are all elite already. We are very good in almost everything else that matters.
I would LSU 3rd, with Florida and aTm in front.

I'm going to give you a hint on your hypocrisy: i. quote:

did you not just suggest that it was a lock?

I never thought they would act like this. These guys think they are the cream of the crop after just one season. We know the aggies are going to be tough to handle this year but damnn it they have not paid their dues yet so talking mad shite is gay.

"Good season" with two conference losses at that. We've fired coaches for that.

I think the current recruiting results by Texas A&M speaks testimony to whether A&M will have sustainable success. A top 10 class in 2013, and a 2014 class with the top two rated players in Texas. 5 head to head recruiting wins over the Horns already.

Agreed. It was an incidental benefit--a check on the "pros side."

Not agreed. It was more than an "incidental benefit". Without his family in Texas I dont think he leaves for aTm-he didn't go to UNC (hes an alumni) or UT.
But aTm fans are always going to think they are the best for some reason, so it doesn't matter

He got a $200k raise, moved to a school with a far, FAR larger donor base with deeper pockets, larger budget, and better facilities across the board (his words). He jumped in to be the catalyst of TAMU's entrance into the SEC--the most significant realignment move. He also gets to be a involved in Kyle's redevelopment--which will be awe-inspiring.
Considering the "total mix of factors," yes, family was most definitely incidental to the decision. A helpful "nudge," if you will.
We wouldn't have kicked off our "100 year decision" with a guy who just wants to see his grand kids' school plays. You know this.
Remember, Hyman made your AD. There was nothing before him. That's not the case here--there's a foundation (his words). The ceiling is simply higher, and he made a wise decision.
We don't think we're the best. We just know we're better than South Carolina.
