The guy at LSU now made the Jimbo hire. Their current AD has made some really good hires with their baseball, softball, volleyball, and women's BB positions. There were others in the article I read on all of that but I can't remember what sports.

If I was A&M, I would make Ryan Day say no if he already hasn't. Then I would make Urban say no (got a little nauseated saying that) if he already hasn't. Then I would make DeBoer say no. If they all said no, I would take that interim tag off and let the big man, ERob, lead that program or have a serious conversation with Petrino (got a little nauseated saying that as well). That is way too talented of a team with an embarrassing amount of resources to keep being mediocre year in and year out.

I think it has got to be Elko. He was a big part of their recruiting all those 5 star DLs. I think if they wanted Lanning they could get him. A&M is the biggest student body in the country and those people give like crazy. The aggies I work with give every year without fail. It is impressive. Texting them today they all say they want Elko. I listened to A&Ms presser by the AD on SEC network. He answered a question about finding someone and building a long and consistent coaching tenure. He mentioned RC Slocum. The best years for them came with Slocum. I don't see any other coach on this list like Slocum other than Elko. This is sure going to be an interesting next couple of weeks.

I think the offense quit on Enos. The defense is still playing with pride but is getting frustrated. I think firing Enos will be a big boost. I hope Arkansas doesn't fire Sam. He is a good coach and is one OC hire away from some great seasons.

It looked to me like A&M sold out to stop Milroe and the RBs from running. Their safeties kept spying in for the run and dared Milroe to throw it and that is what he did. I rewatched the game and kept noticing receivers simply running by safeties and they were very slow to react to routes as it seemed they were glued to Milroe watching for him to take off. Big credit for Jalen for finding the open receivers and OL for giving him as much time as they could. That A&M DL is no joke.

If A&M does fire Jimbo, I bet they bring Elko back. Frankly, that's the only thing A&M can do that really is a concern to me. Elko is a great coach. He is making waves with 3 stars recruits and 3 star transfers. Giving him the resources of A&M could be the proverbial game-changer.

That's the crazy thing. I do think there is a real chance for crash and burn. With that said, they have elite talent and if it all comes together quickly they will be a heck of matchup for anyone. To me, A&M is the biggest unknown in all of college football this year.

RonMexico, you may get your wish. The Big10 is going to push A&M to leave if they get their way on the super conference. A&M meets all of the qualifications and has a massive endowment fund (top 10), AAU accreditation, and an ever-growing enrollment. The Big10 needs a south team if it becomes a nationwide super conference. A&M and Florida are their logical choices. But I don't see UF leaving the SEC. I could see A&M leaving. Big10 research cooperation would drive the deal as much as athletics revenue.

My only issue with Georgia's schedule doesn't just include the 2023 schedule. Why isn't Georgia playing at A&M? No trip to the Aggies since they entered the league. Word salad ensues when asked why no trip to College Station. All Aggie troubles aside, they are no joke when playing a big game at home. The recent Bama games show that. Ask LSU last year how it turned out as A&M treated it like a bowl game for them. Missouri and Florida sure has played at A&M a lot. So again, why no game at A&M for Georgia? Is there any Georgia at A&M game in the near future?

The LSU/A&M matchup at the end of the season sure has been fun to watch the last few years. I'd like to see that rivalry grow even more.

Let CNS do what he does best. All will be fine.

I think you are absolutely correct. I'm not a fan of it either. Allowing tx and ou into the league still doesn't sit well with me. LSU is the biggest threat in the West. Kelly is a great coach and has an outstanding process by all accounts. He's recruiting the players to fit his style and has an increased athleticism versus his squads at ND. A&M has a good coach who had grown stubborn and it backfired. He corrected that by getting a proven offensive mind. Yeah yeah, he's "offensive" alright, but the man can coach football. With all of that said, I still think A&M is at least a year out from being a big threat assuming the Petrino experiment works out. Regardless, the talent assembled at both LSU and A&M is extremely impressive.

I'll have to disagree. The big knock on Jimbo has been his anemic offense. He went out and picked an OC that can sure nuff coach offense despite his own personal shortcomings. Granted it may all blow up on A&M, but they have a decent defense and plenty of talent. Petrino will set them on fire one way or the other.

Prayers for Coach Mike Leach. #hailstate #hailpirate

Indeed. Bama's dominance forced everyone else to elevate themselves. While no dynasty lasts forever, Bama isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Gonna be hard to replace Will if he declares. Thanks, Will! I've sure enjoyed watching you play for the Tide!

Exactly. The Ags I work with say they haven't heard BP be mentioned before but indeed Mullen is being mentioned and the word is Jimbo will be giving up playcalling to the right OC hire. However, he still prefers the OC to run a pro-style offense. The use of a FB during the LSU game was the result of advice received. It sure was effective against LSU. Dan Mullen or BP running the offense with that talent is a concern.

Well, it was their bowl game for the year. Let 'em have some fun!

LSU/A&M is quickly becoming a great rivalry. Nice win, Aggies.

Exactly. I think the big question is does Jimbo swallow his pride and get an OC or will he even be on the sidelines next year? A&M has a locker room full of talent. It wouldn't surprise me if Dan Mullen was on the sideline next year as the OC. Two really big egos, but if they can coexist Mullen would be an immediate impact in play calling. If A&M does part ways with Jimbo, I think some really big names will take an offer very seriously. Top facilities, NIL, and a program that is willing to spend the money to get to the top. If I was a top tier coach, I'd have to seriously consider the job. The next question is who is targeted after Jimbo?

Rece Davis and all the other talking heads constantly decry the coaches for most of the season and then act appalled when he is fired. Former players and coaches for the most part instead take the approach of give the guy a chance. Let him build a program and find the right staff to implement his plan.

And that's the weird part of this year with A&M. Since coming into the league, they typically have had a great to really good Oline and a couple of really good backs on rotation with another one waiting his turn. Most of A&M's problem is terrible OLine play. No time for the QB to progress through reads and no holes for the back to get through. What little of the game I saw, Achane was being met in the backfield. I think A&M gives Jimbo 2 more years and then they start looking for another coach if they don't get a 10 win season. And I don't see them winning maybe 2 more games this year.

I went back and watched that play several times. The WR didn't do his job. It was a comeback route that he never pushed deep enough or really came back to catch. King put in a decent spot for a comeback route to the corner. Still not the play I would have called with Achane in the backfield, but I do understand the call and what happened during the play. Mike Evans at Tampa Bay is a master at that play call. I don't remember him doing it much at A&M with Manziel unless it was a comeback with Manziel scrambling.

I really thought we were going to see speed option to the wide side. I was just hoping Will could string it out and make the play.

I thought King played decent. He missed some easy passes but delivered the ball well others. Kid is fast but not really elusive. The Stewart kid is the real deal.

I swore we were about to see an option play with King and Achane. Blew my mind when he tried that pass. I was just hoping the linebackers could string it out at the goal line. Crazy.

Hats off to A&M. Heck of a game. Bama has lots to clean up before next week. Defense played well, offense sputters without Bryce. Too many turnovers for sure. Either way, a win is a win.

Please do. I'm sure he'd enjoy the advice from the peanut gallery. hahahaha I apologize for stating the obvious. CNS has it under control.

Just run the ball and let Milroe get comfortable. A&M is giving up 170 a game in rushing. Run the ball and control the clock. When they start loading the box, hit the easy passes.

I'm not sure why they haven't gone run heavy. They have a great back and 2 highly regarded recruits behind Achane. They can't pass block to save themselves so simplify the Oline scheme and run the ball. It's worked for Ole Miss.
