I think if Michigan opens the trio of Big 12 - Leipold, Kleimann, Campbell are on the short list because I don't think Dabo is a fit either. Otherwise IDK who they would go for. Those three either grew up in and or coached in Big 10 country so I think that their names will always come up , right or wrong
Like with A&M, I don’t see Michigan boosters allowing a Campbell hire. They’re going to want someone who’s had more success than Campbell and/ or is at least a Michigan man.

To me, of the jobs open, Michigan State is the only realistic one he’d be considered for. And that would be his ceiling and Sparty’s floor honestly.

LSU signing BK was a shock to most.
No reason aTm can't pull off the same thing.
Who would be that shock? Swinney, Gundy?
Dabo to A&M is actually pretty interesting. He may be sick of it there.

I think A&M ulitmately hires the Washington guy (DeBoer) or Mike Elko from Duke.

just saw that A&M is letting go of Fisher as coach. he had $75M left on his contract they are PAYING him to leave and their team will end up with 8-9 wins this year but 5 wins last year.

can you imagine what you could do with 75 million inside your athletic dept?

I think the Big10 and SEC are going to have plenty of teams like A&M, OU's, Texas, etc that are going to be unhappy because they lose 3-4 games a year. then a few oil tycoons shell out 50M to get rid of the coach.

I would like to see those two leagues have some buyers remorse, but that probably won't be for awhile.

The Sec move was terrible for them. Texas and OU gonna be in a similar mess in a few years imo.

Agree on Aggies, and I think OU will be Ole Miss level. If UT can ever figure it consistently I think they will do just fine. The cult should have never left, oh boy the have more money but still suck. Don't miss those aholes at all.

They have more money to pay out fired coaches.

Add cost of staff buyout and additional buyout for new coach. I guess SEC money is predetermined.

If I’m A&M, I want no part of Dabo and his anti-portal approach.

Elko, Leipold, Kleimann is who I’d target (in that order) if I’m A&M.

Weird they would fire him the day after winning by a ton. Must be a deal where the payout just went down a few million and they were waiting for it

Aggie boosters are hurting, because they are losing the ****-measuring contest. Sark has whorn boosters looking at the CFP. Jimbo... not so much.

I can't find anything about this school that isn't weird.


I will give them high marks for school spirit, and weirdness. In fact, they have a PhD in weirdness.

It floors me……”The Association of Former Students”………yeah….the rest of the civilized world calls these people “alumni”.

They don't have a fight song.

They have a war hymn

Not surprised. Only reason he's lasted is the insane money owed. Elko would make sense. Heard a radio program in Texas mention Campbell's name...

I mean, I don't see it but for the kind of money they can offer... I mean. I know CMC is not all about the money but that is life changing - family changing money and no one can fault anyone for taking that opportunity if it came along.

I would be highly highly surprised but again that kind of pocket book is crazy
Not sure A&M could handle the rot... 1699835715973.png
