Seriously though, buyouts aside, do you think Tubby would even entertain this? I know they've done him dirty over the years with the whole Petrino thing, but I don't understand the allure of aTm over a top notch SEC program. What am I missing?
CTT has been moving family to Auburn, has a nice new house that he is just finishing. Sounds like he made a decision to stay. He was at tamu one year, I don't think that would be a factor. Of course Shula had just built a home.....
AU to TAM is a lateral move at best. Don't see it happening unless money comes pouring in. Maybe he'll use it as leverage like Nutt did with the Nebraska job a few year back.
I, for one, am (so far) a pretty big fan of Crowton's; however, I wouldn't think that a person would truly choose A & M for offensive reasons. For years, on offense, they've sucked. And for what it's worth, I think A & M has been looking for a "reason" to fire Fran; this is probably reason enough. He saved his job last year by beating a mediocre UT team with a banged up Colt McCoy.
I don't think Tubs goes to A&M. Unless he is worried about Saban getting all the recruits in Alabama, making Tubs go to other states. Saban is a great recruiter and has being doing a good job already at sealing up Alabama. The more I think about it, Tubs may entertain the thought if offered. I think A&M goes after a respected coach and not take the chance on an up and comer.
I'm going to be selling inside information on the A&M investigation on Franchione. If anyone is interested, mail me 1,200 buckeroos.
I hope he stays there forever. He is a FRANTASTIC COACH. They got hammered by a Miami team the struggled to beat Duke. Plus Tubs will not leave Auburn for pete sake to go to A&M and hold the jock of OU and UT every year.... What a wretched group...
