re: This Will Happen: Mack WILL Retire at the End of This Season

A&M football coaches don't get poached anymore. We do the poaching. Are there a few more prestigious jobs? Maybe, but there is no other place to match the opportunity. If a coach wins a Natty at A&M they can become THE legend and they will have everything at their disposal to continue to be successful. At Bama they will always have the Bear. At OU they will always have Wilkinson. At Texas they will always have DKR. At A&M you can actually be THAT guy. A&M also won't be outbid if that is the issue, we have had the highest paid coach in CFB before and will do it again if need be (A&M gave Jackie Sherrill the first ever million dollar contract in 1982. Less known is A&M had Bo Schembechler at a verbal agreement and ready to board a plane from Ann Arbor until he backed out, Jackie was the backup plan).

Being the only SEC school in Texas is awfully hard to walk away from if you are doing well. Sumlin is already looking like he may be doing more selecting than recruiting for 2014. What do you think happens when he actually wins something that matters?
