i mean im not banging the pot for him to actually get the job 
im simply saying this seems fine for an interim of less than a year and even if the nuclear apocalyptic scenario happens where no one wants to take the job, which i dont believe for a single second will happen im just speaking hypothetically, then i can see him as someone who would absolutely put his ego aside and be a total yes man for jimbo on everything and be a guy who the BOR likes and can keep from seeping into the football program
i obviously want more out of the potential hire and i wouldnt be happy about someone like slocum. but it seems like he will at least check the two bare minimum qualities i want above all. so i guess i would just shrug my shoulders and be fine knowing that he wont be tasked with making a major coaching hire for like 7 or 8 years thanks to scott making the hires he made
now you can say that if we actually end up in a spot where we have to give the job to slocum, then something has seriously gone wrong as he is the absolute, total, last resort and something has totally gone to frick and is a serious indictment on the current climate of the school administration. that is a very fair point to make

Uh oh. McNeese State has an opening. What is Sharp going to do to screw this up?
This temp hire gave me a firm, hard reminder of what an old fart I am. RC (pretty much the definition of old fart) replaced Jackie, who took the HC job two years after I graduated. I'm going back to bed now.
RC will be fine in the interim position.

All the other aspects that go into being an AD aside, the last thing any of us needs to worry about would be RC screwing with Jimbo. The #1 reason his tenure as HC ended was b/c too many Old Army BMA types refused to listen to him when he wanted to upgrade facilities, assistant salaries, and recruiting budgets. I seriously doubt he would ever tell Jimbo "what you have was good enough for the Bear to win so it's good enough for you now" like when he was getting stonewalled in the 90s.

Yeah I don't really get the worry, either. The facilities are done, other than a Reed renovation that may or may not have been coming with Scott Woodward. A&M has the finest track facility (finally) for the finest track coach. Davis Diamond for softball, too.
There are baseball & softball coaches who may be on the hot seat after this year, but I'd be very surprised if RC still has the job by the time this becomes important.
Football? Fugget about it. You know RC loves all the changes that have been made, even more than we do. There's no way he turns Fisher down for anything. And he is universally loved by Aggies, so fund-raising shouldn't be a problem for him.

Why would RC be on the hot seat? He’s currently leading the toughest division in baseball.

True, but is an interim AD going to fire a top 15 coach because he is only getting the the top 8-16 and not 1-8.

Well, no. That was the point, though badly made. If RC and/or Jo Evans need to be fired, it will be after RC Slocum's interim gig (I think). So no need to worry about Slocum in this regard.
RC is a tough one for me. He has good but not great teams every year. And he is very likable. I wouldn't want to be the AD with that decision.
Posted on 4/19/19 at 8:10 pm to finestfirst79
I don't mind RC, interim or not. He's always been in favor of upgrading facilities, and the donors freaking love him. He'd give Jimbo anything he asked for, and the BOR and donors would gladly fork it over

That’s why I’m most bummed Woodward is gone, I would have loved seeing him get rid of Childress. Never going to win a natty with him. He’s what, won the conference 2 times (big 12) in 13 years, won the conf tournament 3-4 times, hasn’t finished better than 2nd in the West and has completely whiffed in the CWS.
:wellbye:

Yeah I’ve been pretty vocal about not being a huge fan of Childress on here but this isn’t the time
Posted on 4/19/19 at 10:38 pm to ShaneTheLegLechler
I do not disagree that Rob Childress isn't going to win anything in the SEC. College Baseball is totally different species than College Football when it comes to recruiting. And Rob is pretty mediocre at it.
R.C. Slocum is 74 years old. I'm old army to the core & do not see him as the AD for any extended period. Sharp & Young better get their chit together & hire a AD that Jimbo likes to work with. When Woodward gets the green light to hurl the gravel gurgler I assure you the first call made will be Fisher's cellie.
Scott did what was good for Scott. I can't fault him for that.

Woodward leaving likely ensures Jo Evans is safe despite how terrible the softball team is.
They're calling her "Rasputin" on another site.

The interim gig is less than meaningless and any Aggie melting over that is looking for a reason to be unhappy. The sane goes for Aggies worries Jimbo will leave for LSU and a multi-million dollar a year paycut.
Woodward leaving wasn’t ideal, but generally speaking programs make ADs and not the other way around. He left us in a good spot and we have the resources to succeed with any competent individual at the helm.

In your opinion, what exactly are the battle lines between Sharp and Fisher? Where will RC (or anyone) be forced to take sides? And, in these imaginary hypothetical scenarios, what makes you think RC would not be on the side of the coaches?
I've seen a lot of Alex Jones style conspiracy theories and paranoia the last few days on the boards, but it looks like a lot of hyperbole and manufactured drama to me.
What TexAgs posters forget is that every fanbase has complaints about its respective administration. LSU folks were pissed off enough at Aleva to go look for some favored son good ol boy to come home - based largely on what he was able to do with A&M booster money. These things happen, and all of the posters coming out of the woodwork to shite on RC just look desperate for their latest reason to cry that it's all gone to hell.

If what Woodward did was so easy, how was Eric Hyman so preposterously terrible at it?
