TAMU targeting Jimbo Fisher.

[UteFanatic]

This year’s coaching carousel is wild. Whittingham rumored as a possible TAMU target if they can’t get Fisher.

[Ute Bc]

I wonder if a  6-6 coach has ever been hired. Ever?

[UteFanatic]

Plenty. Todd Graham went 6-6 at Pitt the year before he was hired at ASU. And that is just the first example that popped into my head.

[Ute Bc]

Fire a 7 – 5 SEC guy to hire a 6 – 6 PAC 12 guy?  Where are you hearing that?  I know a ton of A&M alumni/donors – don’t see that even being considered unless the AD is looking for a different career. 

[UteFanatic]

With Kevin Sumlin out at Texas A&M, expect AD Scott Woodward to make a big push to try and get Jimbo Fisher from FSU. If they can't land Jimbo… maybe they consider Gary Kubiak or try Kyle Whittingham (#TAMU's president worked with him at #Utah)

I think Fanatic was referring to Todd Graham as the 6-6 coach example. For getting hired at ASU after going 6-6 at Purdue.

[UteFanatic]

Yep.

Pitt.  I’m originally from Pittsburgh and will never forget that little weasel f*ck for screwing them up, bailing out after one year and texting the players goodbye.  Hate him.

[UteFanatic]

Probably just speculation by a few observers at this point.

[SalUteopia]

If Jimbo leaves, who does FSU get? 

[FtheY]

Urban. Just so he can shaft Florida yet again, and still be in a non SEC conference. 

That on is tongue in cheek, folks. 

[SalUteopia]

Let’s get him to Utah, win a championship or 2, and then he can have our permission to leave. Also fits the non-SEC criteria.

[FtheY]

Touche, Sal. Good call!

[RedLine]

There’s been speculation for weeks of Jimbo leaving for A&M, but I haven’t heard a thing about potential FSU coaching targets.  Bad year to lose a good coach. If Gruden doesn’t happen for the Vols,  FSU will be up against Mississippi State and Tennesee for top coaches. Crazy coaching carosel this season.  

[SalUteopia]

Don’t forget Arkansas and Ole Mis. And Vols have given up it seems. Reportedly finalizing deal with tOSU DC Schiano.

[RedLine]

Yep, you’re right. Just read about this hire.   Apparently the Vols having an uproar about Schiano from the Jerry Sandusky Penn State connection. 

[Utah]

The fans will whine, but this is a GREAT hire for Tenn. The first good hire in a long, long time. He is a program builder. A better Roscoe. 

[SalUteopia]

I hope someone goes after Peterson or Taggart, thereby leaving their teams in a state of disarray. Peterson won’t leave. Not sure about Taggart, though.
