Louisville’s Charlie Strong and Baylor’s Art Briles are unlikely to interview with TX A&M. If Aggies want either, they may have to makeoffer


I know alot of ta&M fans are saying Briles' agent was "sniffing" around and got sent packing...Who knows the truth...I'm pretty sure this is the website that reported it as well.

To me this seems to say BU won't give permission to talk.

What's ta&m's consensus on Strong...has the Richt thing died down or does it still have legs?

Richt and a big name SEC guy interviewed this morning and may be still going. Briles was never really mentioned and Louisville denied permission. Richt is probably not a serious interviewee. Sumlin and Fedora interviewed yesterday. SBB says Sumlin interviewing at ASU right now and Fedora is waiting on word from A&M. He has till today to accept the UNC job otherwise. Supposedly Calhoun from Air Force is interviewing too (lol wtf).

The Louisville AD won't give permission for contact. If he was absolutely first choice, you'd work on that situation, but given the time pressure involved, the UL AD probably has successfully delayed Strong long enough that he won't be in the mix.

It seems that Richt has indicated interest, and may even have interviewed, but this was mostly likely done with an eye toward negotiating an extension with UGA (he's entering the final year of his contract next year) rather than due to legitimately being interested in the A&M job. No doubt some other coaches are doing the same thing to get leverage with their employers, which makes it difficult to know whether their professed interest is real or not.
