From what I've seen, when the administration forces the head coach to either hire someone specific, or retain someone specific, it typically ends poorly.

And I'd imagine that ANY coach that's agreeing to go into the current situation at A&M, is going to insist on complete control of their entire staff, including all hiring and firing decisions.  That's pretty much bare minimum table stakes for a transition like the one A&M is bringing upon themselves.

Well if you look  on Texags, the candidates are: Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Kirby Smart, Dabo Swinney, Jimmy Johnson, Mike Ditka, and Knute Rockne

:)

Realistically I believe Elko is a candidate, perhaps the prime candidate.  And if they're smart they'll be looking at Traylor at UTSA.  Not splashy but he's a good coach and excellent recruiter within the state of Texas.

Elko is who I think they should pursue, but I have a feeling A&M thinks they're better than that and won't give him a serious look.

I'm unimpressed with Kiffin.  I think he's OK at a 9-3ish program.

Mike Ditka would be awesome. Comes in on day one and trades his entire 2024 class to Texas for Arch Manning.

No, because it would actually make some sense to do that for a QB.  He'd do it for Jonathan Brooks

Urban Meyer to A&M would be pretty amazing to see.....would be fascinating to see if Urbz was a success there of it crashed and burned and blew up in his face like the NFL.

Having said that, I think they'll get Elko or Dan Lanning.

Lanning has a $20M buyout so you've now increased your necessary on-hand cash from $40M-$50M, to $60-$70M.

I'm not sure why Lanning would leave Oregon for A&M.  He's proving he can be in the hunt for it all where he's at, why go to a cult on the chance you can replicate what you're already doing where you are?
