He has overachieved at Miss St which is a dead end job so he would probably jump at the A&M offer if it were made. He does stellar work in developing QB's, an Aggie need. And he has done a helluva good job on recruiting to a school that is not a glamorous destination. He was obviously Urban's secret at Florida and as soon as he left their offense nosedived. And he is one of the few former OC turned Head Coach that stresses defense.
When analyzing the A&M situation he is perfectly suited to meet their needs. Add to that the fact that he is naturally low key and won't be likely to involve himself in matters extraneous to football which could disrupt the Universities political machinations within the state and I just don't see a downside.
But 10th is right that the Ag boards were talking about the SMU guy which would be a woefully stupid move. A&M will recruit the state of Texas just fine. What they need is somebody who is sharp in Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi and has ties to Florida. Again that is Dan Mullen.
Mullen would probably be a good fit although I don't see A&M looking that direction.
Wouldn't shock me though if Tennessee looked at Mullen. Of course, that's assuming Butch Jones doesn't get the job done and we probably won't know for several weeks how that's going to go.
Barring an epic collapse, I think Jones is safe this year. Plus, don't forget that Jones broke the streak against Florida last year. That is still big even if the season didn't end the way it should have.
Obviously everything is still on the table for TN, but there honestly is no game this year that I don't think we have at least a chance in, and that includes Alabama. Of course, we are the cardiac Vols and could crash and burn, but Indiana State, Southern Miss, and UMass get you four wins, and though KY is better, I still count KY and Vandy as expected wins. I could see anything from the Music City Bowl in a rebuilding year to a NY6 12-2 season.
Dude, the Vols incompetence against Tech does not inspire confidence. Beating the Dawgs and Gators last year required miracles. I just think Butch is over his skies and get out coached most of the time
I noted the lack of training that the QB had in ball faking and hand-offs. When you drop back to fake the pass and hand off the ball on a draw you don't stick it out at arms length for the DB's to see. He got his tailback hammered before the guy could get back to the line of scrimmage. The same was true on basic hand-offs on dive plays. It doesn't take long to teach the QB and back how to hide the ball and still make a clean exchange.
When I see things like that I know there are some major coaching gaffs in play.
I was concerned by the inability of our DB's to handle single coverage against a team that throws 12 passes a game
