NWAHorn Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 You know that they are going to try and cash-whip Deion Sanders to be the next coach at Texas A&M. I mean, it's inevitable. The Aggies' beat down at Miami, coupled with Horns' win at Bama has caused a domino effect within the aggy boosters. The thing is, Deion and the Buffs could be the kings of the Big 12 with Texas and ZeroU headed out and be a good choice to make the playoffs annually. The aggys can't offer that. But you can damn sure bet they are going to try and they probably already are. Sirhornsalot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama faithful are talking about sending Saban off into retirement and getting Sanders as their new HC. lol aggy has to figure out how they're going to pay off Jimbo's contract, each of the assistant's contracts, and the contract of the new HC and the contracts of the new assistants. That's got to be a whopping sum of cash. There's another risk, too. What if they fire Jimbo, hire the next great thing, and still do 5-7, 6-6 each year? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTfish Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 I'm not buying the Colorado hype, yet. They still have some pretty good PAC12 teams to play...but tamu is desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83Dee Posted September 14 Report Share Posted September 14 Dion is the #1 coaching prospect out there for the big boys, and second place isn't in the rearview mirror. Just like Herman was 7 or 8 years ago. But I don't see aggie having a shot at him.... a better guess would be Florida IMO. Aggie needs to focus on Lubbock or San Antonio for their next coach, should they decide to pony-up and give someone else a national championship plaque without the date on it.

Perhaps you meant they have a loss or two in their future? In any case, what he has done is spectacular. So I guess in that regard, I'm buying....

It has made me believe that he is probably a damn good coach. Doubt aggy would be his thing. If he is as good as it at first appears he will be able to be very selective about his next gig. Seems like Florida would be a better fit and is likely to open up. Eastexhorn and Sirhornsalot 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Ags are going to pass the hat for $77 million to buy out Jimbo, pay what they owe his assistants, offer Deion $10 million per year and pay for his staff... More power to them.

Dion brought in 86 new players.... many "experts" had CU winning one or two games this year. He beat a top 25 team that made the NCAA Championship game last year in game 1.

I will respectfully stick with my semantics for what has been done. But I hear you.... many more games to be played. I'm not betting against Prime Time at this point.

They can probably get him on the cheap a bit and fill it with incentives. To me, it's way more plausible than Deion. 83Dee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunkist Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 Deion will wait for UNC, Florida or Bama. All three could be within reach in 1-3 years assuming he keeps winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiwood Posted September 15 Report Share Posted September 15 This is gonna sound like a cheap shot but IMO , Prime has one goal, get his son to the NFL, after his son is gone do you really see him putting in the grind of day to day operations to run a program. Prime was never known to be a student of the game, he is basically being the Elmer Gantry of college football. There has got to be something fishy going on when players transferred out, they weren't buying his brand of snake oil or his claims to be the rainmaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCU I think will be pretty good this year. I bet they end in the top 25. Nebraska is bad, but CU was in worse shape. Anyhow... I (obviously) think what Dion has done so fare is jaw dropping.

He told a schools admin to pick 100 kids in need of a good Christmas. He wanted to do an anonymous Christmas deal for them. The admin got together and picked them. The day before it was to happen he notified the school he’d have TV networks there to broadcast it. The school said they couldn’t allow it as it would reveal the identity of students on national tv. That and he’s already said it was to be “anonymous”. He cancelled the entire thing. Come to find out he wanted the school to do all the legwork so he could get the credit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
