We are who we are and that’s Ok.

I had discussed elsewhere that TAM is by far the best job out of the bunch.

- 100,000 attendance
- Winnable division
- Access to talent in both SEC and Big 12 areas
- Patient fanbase

No other job is as good, not even Florida.

And they just redid that stadium. Unreal how many luxury suites. Them Aggies got a ton of money.

Hard to know where he will go, but it seems ever more likely that he will go somewhere. As others have said I would rather be in the position of people wanting our coach than the opposite. We went through decades of only changing coaches when we fired one. If he does leave while he is hot we just have to make sure we follow the formula to another great hire and we would need to be ready to do it quickly after the season since that early signing period starts this year. Someone must get in and save as much of the commitment base as they can.

I tend to think this team will stay focused through this so let's enjoy this year and what happens happens.

Forget stealing our coach... Those schools need to be stealing our search committee...

We need to up the buyouts to where we get something big out of it and it makes these teams hiring our Coaches away burn there pockets a little.. But I’m sure some people will look at it as getting stuck with someone that stinks to high heaven because of the buyout.(Pastner).. But most on here are confident with keeping it going, so up the ante and put a huge buyout in place!!

we are not in a position to demand a buyout.

And we are always only one yr without a very good QB to cause us to slide back into playing for 6 wins..........we have been very fortunate to have PL & RF back to back. Just look at the top programs lacking a talented QB & what happens. UF, LSU & Auburn come to mind, where they have great talent except at the QB position.

You put it in there contract before they sign on.. Do you think it would have kept Fuente or Norvell from taking there first HC job.. Maybe I’m missing something but I doubt a 5mil buyout would keep them from taking the job.. Now I understand if they end up being bad Coaches we can’t afford to fire them but according to some we will keep on keeping on.. So if they are confident enough to keep the ball rolling with whomever they get next put a big buyout in the Contract so the school can at least get decent money out of it.. What is Norvell’s buyout? 500k, that’s chump change if so..

Five year contract and if another team wants to hire them away before the end of original five years then the school pays back every dime we paid the coach. If we fire him before the end of contract we are liable for the rest of the remaining contract. So force the other schools to pay. If a coach leaves after two years of five year deal then other school pays back those two years.

I doubt it. A school like FL or A&M wants our coach, they can pay $5mill almost as easily as they can pay $500k. They've got that lying around in their couch. Any OC from the P5 (seems to be the blueprint for us) already knows this.

That’s the way I thought, the School that gets your Coach has to pay the buyout to get him.. It isn’t gonna keep first year Coaches from taking the job.. Now your stuck if they don’t pan out of course..

Yeah, but you could spend 3 of those 5 years just giving the guy a chance. Then you've only got $2mill left.

Yea, I gotcha.. I’ve never really paid that much attention to it but I heard it mentioned on a talk show and they had said that the UOM needed to up the buyouts!

Good. Maybe you can run along to the Ole Miss boards and solve all their problems. Lord knows they have a bushel full.

Even if Norvell were to stay, deep down I question the long-term sustainability of our success. Realistically, can we expect every walk-on to turn into an Anthony Miller? And has any other QB shown they can perform at Riley and Paxton’s level. Did we just happen to trap lightning in a bottle?

I hope I’m wrong - support and investment in the program is definitely improving which is absolutely critical to sustained success.

There will be a bunch of job openings in the coming weeks, and I doubt Norvell will still be here in two months time. I'm just hopeful that we can find another great coach. Given our last two hires, we should have faith that our search committee and administration can get that done.

I also hope that he doesn't end up at UT or Ole Miss.

Everyone does realize our coaches have small buyouts because they negotiate it into their contracts when they agree to come here. We don't have the cache to demand a desirable coach come with a large buyout.
