Texas A&M

[Delmar]

A&M fans are going to be in full meltdown mode if true

Might be as fun to watch as the Schiano fiasco.

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

I agree. The question is does he want back in.

It would have to be a big truck full of money and a lot of control in the program, and even then I doubt he would take it. A&M might be a cursed program now with TU coming into the SEC..

A&M fans are in full meltdown mode. 33-55 in SEC play. They hired Jimbo-lite. What an effing joke.

They are dragging couches into the street as we speak.

Maybe they think they are hiring Bob Stoops?

 

[VolCalls]

Pete Thamel broke the news on College Gameday this morning. Said his name would emerge over the next 24 hours.

Amateurs. It’s not a meltdown till the mattresses get set on fire.

Stoops gets a lot of unfair crap. Dude took uk and had seasons winning 10 games. Got the school to invest in the program and actually try to be competitive in football. Won way more games than he ever should have.

I think he'd fail miserably at Texas A&M, but still

Yeah I agree. He's not a terrible coach by any stretch. UK isn't a football school and he has done a pretty decent job of recruiting and coaching there. I think it would be a tough loss for you.

They are on the social interwebs .

 

[ENGRVOL]

A&M fans seem to be taking this news well

 

[Boston Vol]

Some A&M guys saying that Kingsbury will be his OC. That would be pretty solid if true.

Texas A&M will pay $75 million in buyout money to hire Mark Stoops? Not saying he's a bad hire, but I expected more of a splash than this, for what they were willing to spend to get rid of Fisher.

 

[Vol737]

Question is…..what does poor ole Kentucky do now?


Answer: Who cares!

So around $150M all told to buy out Stoops and pay Jimbo to go away? Good grief. They must hate themselves.

It's not that he's terrible (although, he went 2-9 vs Tennessee during one of our worst ever decades) .... It seemed like A&M was really going to swing for the fences with their willingness to pay the Fisher buyout. This looks more like an infield single.

It’s not even a bunt. It’s a strike out.

Stoops succeeded so much at Kentucky, they got Kroger to invest into the program!

 

[Samthebam]

I think that he’ll do pretty well with Texas A&M’s resources, but time will tell.

 

[Volfan1000]

Aaron Torres said on his podcast today that a big Texas A&M insider said that Ryan Day is atop the Aggies coaching wish list and that the fan base would detest a Mark Stoops hiring because his offense does not score 35-40 points a game.

 

[Volfan1000]

Very,
and it gives the Cats an opportunity to fail up and get a better coach.
I don't want Stoops leaving UK.

Stoops would join Paul Bryant as coaches that coached at both Kentucky and Texas A&M.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

Do people realize Stoops is 35-55 in the SEC. Never won more than 5 SEC games in a season. Feasted on an easy non conference schedule to have a winning record.

There is one way to look at it .... the last time Texas A&M hired Kentucky's coach, he was Bear Bryant.

This does surprise me. I was thinking more along the lines of James Franklin, Lane Kiffin or Lance Leipold, possibly even Matt Campbell.

I would have to admit, I am envious of his record against Florida. SMH.

It’s better than UTs but it’s still like 4-7.
