Re: TT

The Aggie forums are saying TT will be announced next week as their new coach.

They're saying all kinds of stuff though. For every TT post there is a Peterson, Spurrier, Sherman post to match it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see TT head west but some things would have to work out first. I don't care how much money TAM has, 11 million for Tubberville is pretty much what it comes down to unless some things change, and that is a ton of cash to drop on a guy not named Lombardie or Bryant IMHO.

We're talking what? 6 mill buyout roughly? I'm not sure Franchione gets anything since he resigned but the last number I heard mentioned was about 2 mill which brings the total up to about 8 million. Then you're talking around 3 mill a year on contract. TAM might serve themselves better going after another coach, unless AU lets them off the hook some.
 
There are two reasons I think this will happen quickly at A&M.

One, with Neines working behind the scenes for a month or so now (Nutt and Tuberville both represented by Sexton) with Sexton I have to think something is in place. (FWIW, it's being reported there is a presser scheduled at Arkansas next Monday on a few Arkansas forums. I have to wonder about that since most coaches hold pressers on Monday anyway.)

Two, if you look back to last year when Gillespie left A&M they had a basketball coach hired in less than a week: 5 days I think?

It would be crazy if Tubs leaves, Miles leaves and Nutt goes. That's half the West. 'chop thinks O there is a possibility of O going as well.

How many will we see this year around Div. 1?
