You want A&m to fire Lucci???


No. They can’t. He doesn’t work for A&M officially. But, the program/University can support him, or marginalize him, in a variety of ways.

Liucci is being perceived as somewhat of an insider by national sports media. So, when he irresponsibly starts unfounded rumors during a high profile coaching search, it hurts the program and embarrasses the University.

If Liucci wouldn’t have prematurely “reported” the Stoops hire, this wouldn’t all look like a dimpster fire when the deal fell through — nobody’s ever know.

Did he tho?

He was the first to bring up Stoops as a candidate. He said the deal was close but not at the finish line. The viral reaction from the fanbase and boosters changed the situation. The Kentucky side was actually first with public info day this is likely happening. Looch confirmed it from the A&M.

He didn’t. The leaks started from Kentucky media after Stoops began to let people know, and the “Thank you, Coach Stoops” tweets started from the UK contingency.

And another A&M site was actually the first to report it on the TAMU end of things. TexAgs/Liucci just responded after it was obvious the word was out.

Billy has survived a lot of athletic directors. He’s not going anywhere. Bjork will be somewhere else in short time anyway and Billy will just build a relationship with the next one.
