Clearly the top candidate is Kirby Smart for them. He would recruit well enough because of his "Saban" ties.

He also would have A&M a solid D and they already run a 3-4, so no real transition if they hired a 4-3 coach.

Plus, Sumlin is not a good coach. HAs never beaten anyone worth a damn like BOise has, and he had a losing record without Keenum. He may be good, but no reason for A&M to take a chance on him.

Strong is good too, I just think Kirby Smart is a better hire at this point due to Strong playing a different style of D.

Fedora is decent, but Zook at DC makes me shudder.

TAMU should seriously look at Houston Nutt. (sarcasm)

2 years ago he upset #5 ranked Oklahoma State (in Stoolwater) and Texas Tech, back to back. That is pretty damn impressive for a team like UH. That being said, I prefer Fedora, Strong or Smart.

SOME people "Get It."

Just watch next season. Houston will start to regress minus Keenum. They'll be like Auburn without Newton, (Nothing special and barely above 500) showing that Sumlin is nothing special just like Malzahn isn't without a "Special" player.

Why the hell would you need Saban ties in Tejas? If you are the best kid in your position in Texas where do you want to play? Big12-8 or the SEC. A monkey should be able to recruit at TAMU. State is big enough to fill every SEC's roster with plenty left over.
