[@CaNew07]

from what I've heard from Billy Liucci (who is the main insider information guy for A&M), we don't have a guy lined up right now. But honestly there's been so many conflicting things being thrown out that it's hard to tell what's true and what isn't

[@leestebbins5051]

Would certainly surprise me. Wrong time of the season to fire a coach and expect to have a whale on the hook. Two years ago the AD ballooned the buyout from $20M to $76M. If he was running a publicly traded company he would be out the door.

[@briandavis4580]

Oregon is a fantastic job and I think Dan Lanning will have a ton of success there. As a Georgia fan who loved the job Lanning did in Athens, I hope he eventually leads the Ducks to a national championship. Always kind of liked the Ducks too. A&M is also a great job. They are located in a talent-rich state, pay extremely well, and have strong facilities and fan support. The fact that past coaches have bombed there doesn’t mean they can’t win more with the right hire. Hopefully they will hire a quality head coach.

[@hartsickdisciple]

Anyone who doesn't think Texas A&M is an elite job doesn't know what makes an elite job in college football. Josh is absolutely right when he says it has little or nothing to do with recent trophies or W-L record. It's about the natural advantages that a job has built into it. Texas A&M has more money than God, top tier facilities, and is located in a recruiting hotbed. There are VERY few CFB coaching positions that are more attractive.

[@MadisonClemons8426]

They’re an elite job and school. They literally had the highest recruiting class last year, higher than Alabama and Ohio State.

[@cgray5559]

​@MadisonClemons8426 it was the highest rated recruiting class since the beginning of the 247sports Era

[@mr.dschannel8800]

I think he is jumping around in circles when mentioning this is an elite Job. of course any coach would love to be at that Job because of the money and recruiting, but him saying Texas A&M making the right hire is the key is Obvious. Whenever he mentions Georgia making the right hire with Kirby, I always think that he would win regardless of which big name school he went too. Like imagine him with Florida or LSU they probably win 2 championships too. Where I think Josh is misguided at is when he says Texas A&M just has to make the right hire, which is hard when the top programs already have the guys that win championships I.e Alabama and Georgia. You can insert a great head coach and still only win 9 games in the SEC. Thats just the lane that Texas A&M is in.

[@davebolaton7639]

The problem is A&M is #2 in the state. So just because its a recruiting hotbed doesn't mean A&M is attractive to kids beyond the money. Look how well buying a recruiting class turned out for A&M? Perhaps if they spend $500 million a year on recruits they might.... might become a " destination " .

[@dentonyoung4314]

So now they just need to find themselves another R. C. Slocum. (Under Slocum, in the six-year stretch from 1990 through 1995 A&M went 60-11-2 -- yep, that's an AVERAGE of 10 wins per year, something Jimbo NEVER reached. That included an undefeated regular season in 1992 -- only loss was in a bowl game to a Lou Holtz-coached Notre Dame -- and an entirely undefeated season, 10-0-1, in 1994.) I suggest they go get Jeff Traylor. He's proven he can coach, he can recruit the living f+++ out of Texas, and he's undoubtedly looking to move to a place with more resources. A&M has unlimited resources.

[@jaredtrp]

I'm a LSU and Texas Tech fan, so I'm anything but an A&M fan, and even I know they're a team that's one good head coach away from becoming elite and winning a championship, because they have the money and they have the motivation. Probably a higher total of that combination than any other school in the country.

[@Agg1E91]

As an Aggie alum, I think (and I may be, probably likely, talking out of school here) that the motivation you mentioned, plus all those Manziel Bux may have led to a bit of desperation and recklessness. Regarding the Jimbo hire. They went the "Cougar High" route with Sumlin when that was what they could afford, and thought that more money automatically equaled an elite coach with Fisher. It just equaled an expensive coach.

[@dentonyoung4314]

A&M *was* elite for some years in the 90's. That was when they had R. C. Slocum as a HC. So they can get there again if they find the next R. C. Slocum -- I suggest Jeff Traylor.

[@captaing834]

As a former NCAA power 5 assistant, starting at 9.00 minute mark this is 1000% correct. There is no magic dust. There is right guy lignin up with admin and boosters willing to provide resources.

Saying this team can’t do it bc they haven’t or they always blah blah is fantasy for fans who want to believe e that. This video is spot on!!!!!!!!!

Oregon never won a conference title before Mike Belotti (mid-80's). Florida was a sub-500 program with one conference title before Spurrier. Florida State was a girls' school before Bowden. Washington was nothing before Don James. Miami was a nothing school before Schnellenberger and Jimmy Johnson

[@kyletucker3811]

Mike Bellotti won his titles in the early 2000s. The one before that was 1994. There were five conference titles before that 1994 one under Rich Brooks. I get your point, Oregon wasn't a power. But it's just factually incorrect to say they never won a title before Bellotti. Brooks started it, Bellotti continued it, Kelly took it to another level.

[@jimedick9496]

@@kyletucker3811 It wasn’t till Brooks hired Bellotti as his OC in the 80’s that turned Oregon around. Brooks never did much prior to Bellotti. Yes, it turned over while Brooks was the HC, but I credit Bellotti with Oregons rise to where they are now.

Having previously been a GA/assistant at Alabama and Georgia, I can see Lanning staying at Oregon and gaining a couple years more experience, and possibly moving into the Bama job once the GOAT retires.

[@glenpark4373]

Lanning wouldn't take the Alabama job if offered. No coach in their right mind would want to step into Saban's shoes right after he leaves otherwise they're constantly being compared to and criticized for not being as successful him. It's just a setup for failure. Plus he doesn't really have much personal connection to the program other than being a grad assistant there for a little while. Now if the Georgia job opened up he'd probably consider it but I don't see Kirby Smart leaving any time soon.

To compare it to baseball for a second, TAMU reminds me of the Red Sox. During the 86 years they didn't win a world series, they were "cursed", surely they'd never win. Then they got the right people in the right positions and all of a sudden it was a great job and "of course you can win it all in Boston". The problem now for A&M is that even if they get the right guy, the SEC is going to be more loaded than ever, so it'll be hard to finally win it all

[@kevinlindstrom8486]

Fair comparison to the Red Sox. On the other hand, the reason most teams winnimg the NC are from the SEC is because of that competition. If you win the SEC, most of the time you have what it takes to beat anyone else.

[@michaelspadaccini1415]

“Explain Dabo to me.” Ok, in Dabo’s own words, when he arrived and was successful there was an appreciation, not an expectation.” At TAMU, the boosters have huge and immediate expectations. Case in point, Jimbo’s plaque at the introductory press conference. Yes, TAMU has vast resources, a willingness to invest, and a good conference. To be successful though, the new coach will have to be able to navigate the boosters and their say.

[@brandonmason3311]

This seems to imply that boosters are overbearing and try to override the coach's decisions, which has absolutely not been the case at A&M. They're excited for sure, but if anything they're excessively supportive of coaches like Jimbo or Sumlin. They gave Sumlin a helicopter to fly into high school games. It's not a hostile relationship due to high expectations. The only issue the boosters cause is that they haven't hired a good coach yet. But a good coach won't have to navigate the boosters

[@craigfulton2586]

Your point is why I quibble a little with Josh's assessment of the A&M job. There is obviously a lot of good for all the things he mentioned, but your money guys are desperate and want to have their initials on your success, but will have nothing to do with you if you stumble.

I agree 💯 with everything that Josh said about the A&M job

[@dustin9181]

All the “fans” saying Texas A&M is an Elite job??? When Oregon has been to two national championships in the last 2 years how many has A&M been too? I’ll wait.

Doesn’t make them richer than Texas oil money, sorry little buddy

[@christianbazen43]

I think the next coach of A&M will be Lance Leipold

[@kevinbell3224]

What a slam dunk hire! The man will kick your butt with 3 stars imagine how he coaches 5 stars all over the place?

[@WilliamHudson-q8j]

Firing Jimbo was a MASSIVE mistake🤦🏻‍♂️😩 A&M needs to fire the AD. WTF!!!!

[@xuexxiong]

The only disagreement I have with you about the Texas A&M job is that they do not check the box of, "Are you the big brother?" Texas is the big brother. In Georgia, UGA is the big brother, Tech, State, and Southern have no chance against UGA.

I agree with money being the fairy dust... but the magic elixer to pair with the fairy dust is being located in a recruiting base.

Will Urban Meyer crawl out of hibernation and see his shadow?

James Franklin. Made Vanderbilt dangerous for 3 years. Has done well at Penn which is a dream job for most people. Franklin at A&M is a Title contender next year.

Well, it stops being elite to many coaches once they actually visit Collie Town
