The fans are certainly discussing him. Are any decision makers? donors? 

A small but vocal number of fans are the decision makers. See Mark Stoops.

It is crazy A&M is already having those conversations about Earley.

A bit Earley wouldn’t you say?

If aggy would put all that energy and angst they have about UT into their own programs, they might just be more successful and definitely would be a whole lot happier. 

Just read this article on On3 claiming that Beard's agent reached out to A&M even before Buzz Williams left them, expressing interest in becoming their coach. 

"Beard, a native Texan, told A&M people about his passion for the state and his newfound desire to beat rival Texas."  Oooh, "desire to beat rival Texas" for revenge after UT dropped him - music to the ears of the Aggies.

A&M went almost all-out (not quite Jimbo level effort but impressive for a BB coach) but Beard leveraged the A&M push to get more funding to stay in Oxford via increased NIL and staff $$.  Plus sweeteners to his contract, of course.

No idea how much of this is true (the part about Beard's people making the first move and the inference it was mainly a ploy to gain extra negotiating leverage against Ole Miss) but if so it was a clever move.

Aggie, did you get played here?

Fantasy land doesn't even begin to describe it. TexAgs talking about Buzz and Schloss ditching them and then saying, "We're A&M" is like watching Senator Geary challenge Michael Corleone in Godfather Part II.

I actually think he has a chance to be a really good high level coach but this is not a big hire by any means lol

They've made incredible investments into athletics being the main part of the A&M experience.

They've changed AD's.

They've changed conferences.

They've changed their image with helicopters, WRTS, SEC,SEC, Johnny Football, etc. 

They've paid bags before it was legal.

They've changed coaches.

They've tried short term investments into their future with crazy NIL, and longterm investments with the move to the SEC.

They've lowered admission standards.

They've upgraded facilities.

All the constant change, but the results are incredibly consistent.

So what haven't they changed?  Whats consistent? Their traditions. Their town. The fanbase.

BUT BUT, I thought they won the national championship for having the best recruiting class of all time?

 

None of them wanted to be there.  It was strictly for the money.  That was obvious to everyone except Jimbo.

More baseball tears.  The aggies were both mercied (10 run rule) and no hit by the Vols last night.  Gig'em.

Now they're having their equivalent of OU beating Bama in football moment in Knoxville.  This guarantees that Earley is not fired after this season.  He will get year two.

Honestly best case scenario lol
