Maybe so. Wouldn't be the first time.

I haven't heard anyone offline talk about TexAgs or Liucci as it relates to our coaching. It really doesn't matter.

I don't really think that is a fair statement. To me there are two types of Aggies: Internet Aggies and IRL Aggies.

Internet Aggies in my life know every piece of current conversation we have on here, even if they aren't on this forum. The same discussions are to be had on 247, Texags, or even Reddit. The internet discussions are heavy on politics, momentum shifts, and what is happening below the surface. Internet Aggies are quick to make the Aggie joke before other fans are, and know all about the shite like jizz jar, and nut squeeze and whatever else rivals drag online to embarrass us.

Meanwhile purely IRL Aggies I know have completely different talking points. They mostly talk actual football, like what formation didn't work or how Kyle had a slow release. Even the most connected ones in my life (were in suites at the bowl) didn't know about the under the table stuff that Internet Aggies know, like how a few recruits probably would have followed Kyler to Texas or how Sumlin is a drunk. They have no clue about things like the jizz jar, and they don't even consider for a second that other fans think having male cheerleaders is gay (I think if they did we wouldn't have them anymore). It is a totally different perspective.

Given this context, I think the conflicting situation Looch finds himself in is very relevant to the Internet Aggie because as much as we hate to admit it Texags is at the heart of internet Aggiedom. I could be wrong though.

Sorry for the long post.

Yeah I don't mind. I would gladly share what I know with you guys over those mouth breathers.

I never post on Texags but someone posted something about Kevin Murray 3 weeks ago and it sent my shite into orbit

To be fair Meachum was probably on board until the qb exodus

because I don't think Sumlin would be considering an nfl move unless he was told certain people wanted to fire him for cause and ruin his career.

Sumlin has used the NFL stuff as leverage the past couple of years... Why would you assume he has nothing to do with it this year?

Because he is the one reaching out to teams now that have shown interest in the past. Different scenario

This was posted on TA yesterday.

It's likely all coming out tomorrow. I think Sumlin misrepresented his hire and this is going to cause a serious riff between him and some of his last remaining supporters.

I have no clue. I guess we can't announce a hire until it is approved. So if it's announced then the donors have essentially written the check and accepted Sumlin represented he had (or could get) Meacham when he couldn't, but recognized we are too deep into the recruiting cycle to fire Sumlin over it or anything else. If true it will just make next year more difficult for Sumlin and the expectations higher.

Is he saying that Sumlin got a check from the BOR to hire Meacham, but instead used it to hire Mazzone? I find that pretty hard to believe.

I think he's saying Sumlin was telling the BMAs that he could get Meacham when he couldn't. We're apparently getting Mazzone now, which may have been Sumlin's plan all along. But we can't fire Sumlin for this deception, or for anything else, because we're too deep in the recruiting cycle.

It's his best play at this point. Don't need mentat abilities to be able to discern that.

At this point, he knows we don't have the goods to fire him for cause due to his unaware shove work because if we did, we'd've already done it.

As such, we'd be on the hook for $20MM, which he knows we can't get with oil prices this low. Especially since he has successfully kicked the can into January.

Therefore, he's basically fireproof. From his position, now that Meachum has fallen through, why NOT take the funds allocated for Meachum and apply them to Mazzone as if there was no difference? It's not like we CAN fire him.

From his perspective, he knows Mazzone isn't going to get the same amount of $upport from the BOR that Meachum did, and won't be approved at the same salary if he actually asks, but he needs the money to hire him to at least do well enough to market himself for another job after 2016, because he realizes he's a lame duck here now. So, he acts like the money for Meachum was just carte blanch to hire any OC, and offers it to Mazzone.
