Sumlin will be outta College Station by December. Morris will be a second tier choice, Franklin first.
Franklin just signed a big extension with Penn State in August. He is going nowhere.
A&M's best bet for poaching a big name coach from another P5 school is Chris Petersen from Washington. A&M's current AD is the guy who hired him away from Boise. Even then the odds are long.
I think Van would barely get the interim job. I just hope the admin has a short list of candidates that has a solid recruiting class currently and shows progression. No old turds like JJ either!
You might lighten up a little on your JJ hatred. You've become a broken record. Four bowls and a division championship. It was the school that broke every promise made to him, as all our previous post DP coaches, including the IPF. He tried to quit a year before and walk away from his last contract payment, long before the North Texas debacle. His 'money' friends got him to stay another year, all he got was another year of broken promises. Like he passed on to our current coach, it really doesn't matter if the promises are in writing or not, if they don't want to honor them, they won't. I agree he went nuts on his watch, but he broke through almost 30 years of a bowl draught and did win the division. What makes Chad so different, he tried to flirt with Baylor after three seasons and plans to leave after this one?

LOL. I'm sorry your past means absolute garbage if you decide to stop working and hurt your school. He brought us back to square one so essentially whatever he did meant nothing. Had he worked hard at it through the end and gave Morris a solid team to work with then I wouldn't have said anything despite the ASU debacle. It doesn't matter if you are given broken promises. If it bothers you that much that you decide to quit then do the honorable thing and leave rather than leaving someone on the hook to pay your salary. Other than TCU, he didn't beat anyone worth mentioning. He lost to Army at home, and he pushed for Hawaii bowl trips constantly. So yeah there's plenty of stuff to throw at him.
Chad's flirtation with Baylor might be similar on the front-end but on the back-end he still came back and worked hard at his job despite the outcome. We all know he's leaving but if he gets rejected or doesn't get the offer he wants he's not going to pull a JJ and just quit on the team and the school. Maybe he will surprise us, but I think probability wise, Chad is going to work hard regardless of the situation.

Beautiful house????, that's a laugh
tiki was 6-38 against teams with winning records. During his last 4 years, with his OWN players, he was 3-22.
CM did more metroplex recruiting in 1 year than tiki did his entire stay here.
