What was your favorite moment in the Mark Stoops era at Texas AM (coaching carousel)?

[B.A.R.]

Incredible era.

 

[B.A.R.]

This can be the official coaching carousel thread.

Oregon State coach to Sparty.

Excellent hire. Despite two months of tracking planes and Urban Meyer, the fans will have to settle for a solid hire.

 

[KJ]

Lmao

Jonathan Smith was the best thing MSU could hope for

They're lucky he didn't turn them down

 

[Two Utes]

They had obviously been talking for a while given that it was announced with time left in the 4th quarter on Fri night. Ha!

I think Stoops would be a good fit for A&M. He values line play, runs the ball, and will actually assemble a defense.

 

[pressitup]

.500 record @ A&M
that's all he did

 

[Two Utes]

Stoops says he's staying at KY but as we all know that means nothing.

 

[gps_3]

Jimmy Sexton strikes again

 

[Frank Costanza]

Did Stoops get a buyout from A&M even though he was never officially hired?

Have to ask. It's A&M.

 

[twinkie13]

What the fuck is going on? TAMU really hired Stoops confirmed?

Indiana football fires coach Tom Allen despite $15.5 million buyout

Allen took over when Kevin Wilson and IU parted ways, and he led the Hoosiers to the Gator and Outback bowls and a historic top-10 ranking.

What the fuck is going on? TAMU really hired Stoops confirmed?

Around 9-10 pm last night he was getting announced

Around 1am he was all Kentucky.

Great hire for them but I think he settled for a less than desirable job.

How does the coach at Indiana of all places have a 20 million dollar buyout. More proof that ADs are some of the dumbest people in the world.

 

[brewers888]

He was going to get hired but the board caught wind of the fan reaction and that ended it.

 

[brewers888]

You've really got to wonder what the AD of A&M was thinking. There was no way to sell those fans on someone with limited success like Stoops.

What's awesome is no Matt Campbell talks for a minute

Most stressful part of several seasons

AM trying to go a different route, but the fans want someone overpaid I guess.

Fuck. That would’ve been GREAT. Shit. Who is next?

Optics. They can’t hire Stoops…..the one that ain’t won and have LSU poach the Notre Dame coach. No way.

He's leaving the Pac 2 for the Big Ten. Those jobs are all gold right now

Stoops isn't the answer and he is another guy that is overpaid already.

 

[brewers888]

Michigan State blew it not hiring Saleh and I hope they suffer for it.

Honest question ive always wondered about. In Pros coaches under contract cant leave wo teams permission. But in college they can with the buyout. Why are college contracts different than Pros? Why dont colleges write contract like Pros, especially if they have the leverage (for example id say when ND hired Freeman they had the leverage)

Smith to msu ok. They needed Urban to compete in new B10. Said it b4. Michigan osu psu Oregon Washington and fickel building Wisconsin and Rhule Nebraska the B10 is going to be a gauntlet. The lessor runs are going to have to be very creative

I know most hate Urban and it is different now with nil and portal. But i think he's only home run out there. High risk. Look at Napier falling flat at Florida.

Iowa will continue to destroy that gauntlet

I honestly though Ferentz would leave after this season but guess he likes the paycheck too much. When that opens it will be huge.

Yeah. Who is next?

 

[CPA-hole]

My favorite Stoops Aggie memory was the rivalry he built with Greg Schiano and Tennesee.

 

[CPA-hole]

Dana Holgorsen fired at Houston.

 

[survive&advance]

Stoops isn't the answer and he is another guy that is overpaid already.

Stoops overpaid? winning 7+ games at Kentucky consistently is pretty damn good IMO

 

[Two Utes]

Dana Holgorsen fired at Houston.

What took them so long?

If Urban wants back in he'd be a home run hire but I think he's done. Maybe he goes back to Gainseville once Napier is canned but I don't think he'd ever take the Michigan State job.

I think it said he makes 9 million which if true is way too much for a basketball school to be paying a decent but not great coach.

 

[cubsker]

Can Florida really keep a second year 7 loss coach?

 

[CPA-hole]

Elko to Texas A&M?

 

[brewers888]

Elko to Texas A&M?

They've realy got to aim higher.

 

[Canes1]

What took them so long?

15 MM buyout? He was quoted preseason saying he thought the buyout was too big for them to fire him.

 

[M.W.]

I kind of like the Elko hire. If it’s real.

 

[pressitup]

who knows

[gps_3]

Jeff Lebby to Mississippi St

 

[Frank Costanza]

Elko is a good hire for A&M. Unsure if / how soon it will be screwed up.

Over on the buyout? $50MM?

 

[twinkie13]

I think it’s the right move but I bet it was a battle for the money guys.

 

[Two Utes]

Allen out at IU. I'm not sure this even constitutes news. His buyout was 20m which seems insane though.

 

[s--k]

The Big Ten schools get almost $60 million per school from TV and media contracts? There is money there to over pay coaches and for stupid high buyouts. It's like they are CEOs in corporate America and the buyouts are the golden parachutes.

Hey, Jim's willing to give up coaches salaries for the players

(Cue next NCAA move hehe).

Can Florida really keep a second year 7 loss coach?

Very young team. I am fine with actually building a foundation unlike the sugar high and crash that Dan Mullen provided. Mullen's lack of recruiting ability/focus really cost UF. The last two games were close losses to Missouri and Florida State with a backup QB, and that showed overall improvement. I'm still behind Napier and I think he can get it done.

So 7m max a year

 

[cubsker]

Love how the lowest incentive is players graduating.

Its good that we can stop pretending that the players are anything other than pros.

Gruden to Indiana would be perfect, not sure how much more dysfunctional the program could be after Allen but this would test it.

Aggies would be my dream job, you know within 2-3 years you will be enjoying life as you getting paid out the rest your contract to not work! Man, one day I’ll get that AM job then try to set record for how fast I get fired and remainder of contract is bought out!!!
