He said that a name "expected to emerge" over the weekend for TAMU is Stoops. He then named 4 or 5 other people that have been linked to th job. It was like video click bait IMO. Now if Stoops does indeed go to TAMU, I'll be sweating bullets until UK names someone other than HCJS as their coach.

Hypothetical - if Sumrall leaves, who is on Brent Jones short list?
I'm struggling to name coaches. Please no older (over 55 and that sucks because that's my age range) former coaches.

I'll be surprised if Mark Stoops goes to TAMU.
Texas A&M wants to win big NOW. Mark Stoops doesn't exactly give them that. I think he could be successful there, but I don't think he's splashy enough.
I think they'd be more likely to pursue Bob Stoops, Kaleb DeBoer, Jedd Fisch, Kyle Whittingham, etc.

Two different sports news outlets reporting Stoops to TA&M. Sumrall will get strong considerations from Kentucky.

I don't think Jon will1 try to follow Stoops. I think he stays here for now. I think Sumrall will get a chance at Florida next year.

Stoops to aTm is/was laughable. Fire one mediocre coach (and pay him $70mm) and hire another mediocre coach was never going to happen. Aggies have too big of an ego. Most P5 fans are insane to think they have a chance of winning more than 8 games on a regular basis.
Winning at Troy, while not easy, is more attainable. If you coach, you want to win. Look at Neal. He has probably squeezed more lemonade out of that lemon of a program, yet his fan base is delusional. WVU will never sniff a NC in todays environment. Same with more than half of the SEC schools and a majority of P5 programs. Ho expect to Pat Sumerall to leave at some point. I'd be more concerned about a program like Oregon State coming after him. He can win 8,9.10 or even 11 games a year at $3-4mm per for 20 years and everyone would be happy.
Here is a hot news flash - the portal and NIL have made college football very unwatchable. There are about 5 or 6 teams in the country that might be able to compete regularly for a national championship, but all of the rest are just average to poor at best. That's why there are so many 6-6 and 5-7 teams these days. I tried watching some games over the weekend and thought I was watching Charles Henderson versus Goshen.
Look for Troy to head back to New Orleans...Ho heard that the LA Bowl was a possible destination if Cal had not won tonight. Oh well.

One outlet reported last night that HCJS was one of two finalists for the Miss State job. Letās hope that info is is solid as the info that Stoops was headed to TAMU.

As we navigate the coming few days/weeks and hear rumors and speculation about HCJS leaving TROY, I would encourage you to always check the sources. If the report is coming from Pete Thamel, consider it a 50/50 shot that itās accurate. If itās Pete Thamel ābreakingā the news himself, 20/80.

Ole Miss State is a dead-end job. In what alternative universe do you see Starkvegas beating Alabama, Texas, Oklahoma and maybe LSU in the same year? Ho will wait. Unless your goal is winning the Music City Bowl as your highest achievement, this place be a hard no.

MS State is a place you go at 55 for a 4 year deal worth 12 to 15 million and then retire or they extend at a higher # or because you played there - there are only 7 teams that have a chance to win the SEC AL, LSU, TX, OK, GA, FL, TN, AU The rest are in the league for the money

UPDATED Although believe he will be choosy and pick his spot, it will be notable to track, for message board fun. (Will update as more openings occur) OPENINGS (% on him getting a serious look) *Texas A&M: not a chance. JS nowhere on their radar. 0% *Boise State: not a regional fit. 1% *Northwestern: Job Filled. 0% *Michigan State: job Filled. *Mississippi State: as srb said, this one could be real. 50% *San Diego St: anyone think JS going to the left coast? Nah% *Indiana: a small chance 9% *New Mexico: nope 0% *Oregon State: nah, would be weird 0.5% *Syracuse: New York ? lol 0% This is just for discussion, no need to call names or poo poo on thread. What you thoughts or % ? Updated. Rumors everywhere.
