This comes less than 24 hours after he basically had a tantrum when asked about the job opening. It would be his 3rd major HC job in Texas since 2021 (TCU, A&M, and now Texas).

Didn’t see that coming!!!

Didn’t see that coming!!!

He was on some of the lists put out by the D1 guys, along with Wes Johnson. The rumor was strong enough that it elicited the question from the Aggie reporter after the game last night. More than likely, the reporter knew he was likely gone. And in fairness to him, he worded the question about as nicely as possible.

I’m not really taking a shot at Liucci here, every major SEC fan base has at least one of these guys covering “their” program, but that doesn’t make it any less funny…

You should be.

Bama needs to grab up some of these guys....

No.

This move is just like fRAn. The guy is coaching a team to title game and he's talking to another school about a job? I would not trust anyone around him: assistants or players.

Greg McElroy apologizes to Tony Vitello, Tennessee baseball for rant: 'I'm very, very sorry'

Former Alabama football quarterback Greg McElroy ranted on Tony Vitello's 'antics' on Tuesday following Tennessee's CWS victory. He offered a mea culpa:

www.knoxnews.com

I'm so tired of sports analysts and TV personalities in general always apologizing for what they said. Sure sometimes you let something slip that you know you shouldn't have said but damn say what you mean and stand behind it. He wasn't wrong for calling the coach out imo, act like you've been there before. Everyone is so worried about hurting someone's feelings they have to apologize knowing they aren't sorry. Grow some nuts.

So you are saying no one on that team has the charachter our coaching staff could mold and point in a direction to help our team? Now I watched zero games so I am fully speaking out of context but seems like a team that fell short by 1 run is worth a look at some of the players in the portal. If they are low character guys than I fully would agree.

I really hope Vaugn doesn't go to the Aggies

This isn’t a knock on Vaughn, but they’d have to either be either WAY down their list of options or borderline incompetent to offer him that job after his only season in the SEC. And other than money, and the usually overrated fact that he was born in TX, I’m not sure he’d even take it over his situation at Bama right now. A year from now, if things hold as is, he’s going to be on a more even playing field. And he has the best boss/AD in the league already. He ain’t in a terrible situation where he’s maximized his teams’ abilities yet.

Would absolutely take the first 2, but I doubt they’ll even pick up the phone knowing Bama can’t offer what LSU, Florida, Arkansas, etc. can right now. Would also keep an eye on South Carolina and LaViolette.

I’d jump at those two and add Kent. He came on late and really propelled them to Omaha.

I wouldn’t turn him down, don’t get me wrong. The first 2 are just in another stratosphere. Sorrell and Camarillo aren't mentioned in that tweet, but they are really good as well.

Well, A&M is missing on their top targets and getting further down their list of candidates… I did not expect nor foresee that happening. My understanding is, Vaughn is in the mix now. Unsure if he’d accept even if offered, but they can and will offer more money than Bama. Just something to keep an eye on…

Jimbo was at FSU and what playoff did he make?
