Can’t imagine lane is first option after getting curb stomped last night

Duke not playing very well lately, obviously missing their qb

Avalos played at Boise State and has coached there most of his life. All those chips are now cashed and the furthest east he's ever been in Nebraska Kearney 13 years ago.

If Riley is staying at SC, Avalos would seem like a solid choice as DC you'd think?

This feels prime for Lincoln Riley.

I've read his buyout is an estimated $100M. That's with the current contract he has which is one of the highest in college football on top of buying out the coach they want to go away. My guess is they're going to have to come up with more money to get him a DC of their choosing, not his, because at this point it's pretty clear who is calling the shots down there.

Let's make sure that Congress passes some laws so that NIL doesn't get totally out of control, though. Just can't have that now can we?

Never understood the fascination with Jimbo. He got his championship off a Bobby built program and hasn’t shown much since.

I'm no great fan of Fischer but this just isn't true. He won his national championship at FSU his fourth full year there. Bowden's players were all long gone by then.

He's a pretty mediocre gameday coach, but a great recruiter and caught lightning in a bottle with Winston, which resulted in a ring.

A lot speculation is saying Lanning to TAMU and then Kiffin to Oregon,; or Elko to TAMU and then Riley Leonard to ND as QB

Not saying it’s the right hire, but he’s guided a tier two program to I believe top 15 finishes in six of the last eight years (pending this year) and has won multiple NyE 6 bowl games + a conference championship. He is also regarded as a top five recruiter in the business.
As a life long Pennsylvania resident and having multiple PSU grads in my family I understand his shortcomings completely. Head coaches with almost 15 years of data almost always have some type of red flag.
I’m sure there are better candidates out there, just not sure how realistic their buyout / desire to leave their current setup is for A&M.
Of course, I have no idea if Franklin even would want the job over his current setup.

However, Franklin and his agent strategically setup his last contract extension buy out lanaguage for this exact type of scenario.

I wouldn’t go after Franklin. He’s a decent coach, but not great.

I don’t really get why Lanning would leave Oregon for TAMU.

TAMU might pay better up front but Oregon still has plenty of money to offer, especially in the Big Ten. And you are far more likely to make the playoffs at Oregon - which will walk in to the B1G as a top three or four program in the conference (one of which is a hopefully-crippled Michigan) - than you are at A&M which has been barely better than average for most of its time in the SEC and now has Texas and Oklahoma to contend with. Winning 10 games looks a lot easier at Oregon.

Also, Lanning is young enough to be choosy. The odds he eventually gets fired at A&M are high, which would set him back. Or he can hang at Oregon for a few years and if he does well, have his pick of even better jobs.

What am I missing? He’s not a Texas guy is he?

It would also be a mistake by TAM.

Really glad we've been able to keep our OC while every other program does what serious programs do. Was worried for a minute we might lose war Daddy.

Difference between an experienced coach and inexperienced coach.

Was Winston a 5 star?
