Everything I've heard is saying that if Sherman gets fired, Tuberville will be the replacement. I've heard it from several people that hewanted to be here when they brought in Sherman, and still wants to be here today.
Personally, I want Turner Gill...but I'm sure we all know that this @+%@@#$ conservative school isn't gonna go for that...
And also important...Sherman has a 7 year contract thanks to America's best AD, Bill Byrne. There's no way we can afford to fire him after just hissecond season (keep in mind that the Athletic Department is working under a $16 million deficit).
Defense will continue to be our downfall, but Sherman is finally bringing in some athletes instead of workout warriors like Fran preferred. You gotta havespeed on the field to keep up with the Big 12 offenses, and that's what Sherman is trying to bring in. I think Sherman will be fine after he has a coupleof years to get his guys in, but Kines really needs to go...

Right now? Probably not. Supposedly he wants to be here though, so I dunno.
Somehow, A&M is still paying RC Slocum. If we fire Sherman, we'll have 3 former head coaches on the payroll (Slocum, Fran, Sherman)...4 if you includethe new head coach. It's hard to believe that we'd have the money to keep Tuberville away from the SEC and Miami under conditions like that.
The worst thing that ever happened to this football program is Rick Perry becoming Governor of Texas. Him being able to plant Mike McKinney as the Chancellorof the University has given those two +%#+ heads way too much power. Sherman never would have been the HC of A&M if McKinney and Perry didn't have somuch power.

6-6 and a whack +$* bowl game... The three OOC games besides Arkansas, then Iowa State, Kansas State, and one other game along the way. Baylor,Colorado, whatever... Sherman won't be fired. And Phil Fulmer sure as hell wouldn't be his replacement, at least not from anything I've read/heardabout Sherman's job security and potential replacements...
Texas A&M money is DEEP when they want something... And there have been PLENTY of whispers that Mike Sherman was NOT Bill Byrne's hire andhe was forced on the program by Rick Perry and the school's president, so you gotta wonder if that puts him on a tighter leash with the AD and boosters...
If they wanted to fire him, they'd have a handful of boosters ready to pay whatever buyout in a matter of days...

Yeah if you don't believe in defense Art Briles is your guy
If Fran got 5 recruiting classes in Sherman sure as hell better at least get 4. They cannot afford to keep losing prestige within the state.

The good news (well, somewhat good) is that Bill Bryne will supposedly be allowed to make this next hire on his own. He was supposedly against bringing inSherman, and wanted to go for a guy like Tuberville or Patterson. Mike McKinney basically refused to allow the Board of Regents to let that happen, and prettymuch forced Bill Byrne to hire Mike Sherman. From everything I've heard, Byrne gets the next hire (provided he's still here)...
Kevin Sumlin would probably also be near the top of my personal list for coaches I want at A&M, but again...these conservative boosters wouldn't go forthat...

Miami money ain't long like that.
Partially why they went the cheap route and hired Randy Shannon.

And damn Johnson put on some weight. Dude been grinding.

We went the cheap route cuz we were still paying Coker. Coker's contract will be over and randy's isn't that much in the 1st place somoneywon't be as big an issue. We can afford a big name coach...just not two. If for whatever reason Shannon gets fired we'll def be bringing in a proven,big-time coach. And we can afford Tubbs

A&M's offense this year is going to be nice if the o-line can hold up. The defense is still trash but should be better than last year. I expectsomewhere between 4-6 wins this year. Tmay, a guy who I was talking to (probably the most legit source you can have) was talking about Byrne being firedsometime in the near future, so I wouldn't expect him to make the next hire.
