Still one of the OCs - He just moved to TEs and they have another coach handling QBs. That move has not worked to well.image.png.fa62e074fe519c92707d09777901a252.png

As a big fan of second and even third chances, it’s inspiring to see Durkin move from helping kill kids to just helping slowly kill rich programs.

I don't think he ever called plays. I could be wrong, but I think that's part of the issue in College Station right now. He has too big of an ego to change his archaic offense.

Didn't he throw the ball like 40 times a game during his tenure at Memphis or are college football seasons just all melting together in my brain at this point?

A&M can easily buy him out if they need to

I am hearing his buyout is $86 million. If that's easy, then so be it, but it has got to hurt even for A&M. Now I don't feel so bad for our buyout if we move on from SL. They paid Jimbo all that money to do no better than what Sumlin was doing.

I wish I could find the study from about 10 years ago. Someone studied the records of FBS teams that replaced a head football coach with the goal of winning more games within the next 2 years and sustaining that. The study showed over a ten or more year period that worked about 40% of the time if I remember correctly.

No they can’t. They are stuck with him for awhile. 

You’re don’t understand the amount of money they have. My grandfather was a TAMU booster 1970s-2000s and I can promise you they had and still have the money for essentially anything. We know some current boosters who can tell you just how few people it would take to pay the rest of his buyout. Hell one family made a $25mil donation last week like it was nothing. They aren’t stuck whatsoever

For A&M, $86mil is nothing to them. The people we know who are still boosters can easily explain just how few people it would take to pay off his contract

The head coach is only one part of the puzzle.  Like the NFL, an elite or upper level QB in college is also a requirement to be successful.  Quality PK doesn't hurt either!

I know this is a bad old dad joke, but that’s proof they have more dollars than sense.

They will not buy him out at that kind of contract.  They just wont.

      Doesn't seem new, but unlimited transfers

      Tim Pernetti's (new AAC Commissioner) remarks regarding exploring more corporate involvement seems interesting and innovative, sort of. Getting some heavy-hitter businesses on board with their big advertising/public-relations budgets. They get to splash their logos all over the AAC venues, ceremonies, uniforms, etc in exchange for some NIL type moola. I don't know, it all just feels weird and uncomfortable to this old fat guy.

      We have complained for years about being left in the dark. The Mean Green Club was promised quarterly meetings that never took place, now there is little to no coverage of the spring practices, player movement is constant so the days of watching a last second scholarship player developing in to a Hall of Fame performer are long gone ala Johnny Quinn, there is little to no fan engagement, etc... It just keeps getting worse and without a push to really involve the fans, I foresee a bleak future. They, the AD, has to create excitement around the team/program or Apogee will just become a waste of money, the new basketball arena will never happen and future adds like baseball will just be an idea that came too late. The days of the G5's are on their way out. It will be whittled down to the top 40 or 50 programs as D1. We might as well go back to our D1AA days and play at the FCS level. I am just about done with sports from a financial commitment position. The greed has ruined it for me. Their is zero loyalty towards the program by the players. It is all about them and how much money they can cram in their pockets and it appears our basketball coach encourages the lack of loyalty. I will watch on television, but that's about it, much like pro sports have become. I have no interest in attending a Cowboys' game live once the prices became ridiculous, same with the Mav's and Rangers' in that stupid new ballpark that was a waste of money. I had arrived at a point where I was only willing to invest in watching North Texas live, but the current situation has ruined that as well. The future of all of college sports is a disaster if some type of control isn't put in place. It is ridiculous and very sad. Guess I will end up spending my money on golf, fine food and drink, drugs, etc. and become a more interesting person.

      SB at Memphis (4/19-21/24)

      Opportunity to beat up on one of the worst teams in the country in Memphis (5-34, 1-17). Really can't let them steal one like UTSA did a few weeks ago. This could help solidify a top two seed (top two seeds would only need to win two games in the conference tournament to win the title) if Tulsa takes 2 of 3 from Charlotte this weekend. SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT. HOME AWAY NEUTRAL THIS WEEKEND Florida Atlantic 13-5 .722 33-12 .733 19-6 11-6 3-0 vs. UTSA North Texas 12-6 .667 25-19 .568 15-8 7-9 3-2 at Memphis Charlotte 12-6 .667 26-16 .619 12-8 9-7 5-1 vs. Tulsa Tulsa 12-6 .667 27-15 .643 13-3 9-8 5-4 at Charlotte UAB 11-7 .611 20-22 .476 13-5 2-13 5-4 at Wichita State Wichita State 10-8 .556 19-18 .514 5-6 9-8 5-4 vs. UAB South Florida 9-9 .500 30-16 .652 23-11 7-5 0-0 at East Carolina East Carolina 7-11 .389 30-15 .667 21-7 5-8 4-0 vs. South Florida UTSA 3-15 .167 12-34 .261 3-10 2-14 7-10 at Florida Atlantic Memphis 1-17 .056 5-34 .128 4-16 1-13 0-5 vs. North Texas
