Dammit. He was my #1 want.

I'm resigned to the fact that we're running it back with Parker, and we're going to lose winnable games next year because of it.

If Klein keeps turning down these OC offers from other schools, maybe he's playing the long game and waiting for Klieman to be poached so he can be 1st in line to be the head guy at his alma mater?

As suspected, TAMU doesn’t mess around. They get their guy. Money talks, bullshit walks.

Comparing your list of the the Freeman buddy hires to their predecessors. I only see one issue...

Gerad Porker - Buddy (Downgrade)
Marty Biagi - Buddy (Very, very slight downgrade - although he replaced a Freeman buddy that was fantastic)
Gino Guidugli - Buddy (Well respected - most likely an upgrade)
Mike Brown - Buddy (To Be Determined, but most think an upgrade)
Mike Mickens - Buddy (Was already on staff, but is phenomenal)
Al Washington - Buddy (Upgrade)
Joe Rudolph - Buddy (GA at OSU while MF was player)(Too early to tell but might be a wash)

You also conveniently left off DM, who was not a Freeman Buddy, and has been a great hire and upgrade over the previous coach.

I’d argue Biagi is a wash which is great for ND. No, they didn’t have the 8 blocked punts/kicks but they scored TD on KR, PR, blocked kick & blocked punt.

Is A&M about to become Bizarroworld ND?

And we are stuck with sub par Parker

 

[PolishDomer]

What a shame...looks like he can also step in and fill in as the Leprechaun as needed...lol

Never said it was successful. Just that money talks. George Steinbrenner spent a shit ton in the 1980s on overrated free agents and they never won shit. My point was that money is never an issue at TAMU.

I know what you were getting at.

The end result of all their money is pretty subpar.

Would Howard follow him, or would he even want Howard? Howard is less talented than Weideman (spelling), but talent doesn't always trump familiarity in week 1..

It’s beyond subpar. It’s embarrassing. But going back to Jackie Sherrill…TAMU usually gets their man regardless of how unsuccessful they end up.

what is he supposed to do with it? Donating it seems better than trying to pawn it off or something.

 

[rikkitikki08]

That’s actually pretty cool he had the thought to donate it, as a fan that would be pretty cool to find in a goodwill

Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.

Can't remember the coach but several years ago there was a former ND coach who had all of his ND gear in their yard sale.

Duke, Tulane, James Madison still open.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

That seems like a very good hire for New Mexico.

Has already retired before though so you have to wonder how many years they get out of him.

He did not retire, he stepped down.

Very good hire. Mendenhall has a knack for building tough, hard nosed teams. The New Mexico job is a tough one, though. No recruiting base to speak of in the state.

From Miami to Duke. Wow.
