with Gillispie gone.

A guy who eats his meals out of a convenience store isn't going to stick around. I called this a long time ago. He's Majerus, but with more wanderlust.

After the way A&M grabbed Franchione from Alabama the Aggies ought to be used to the cut-throat coach heisting game. What goes around comes around.

I don't think the A&M job is very attractive. The expectations are tremendous, and if you have a couple of seasons where expectations aren't met, the fans will turn on your big time. It's going to be a challenge to follow Gillispie.

Maybe they will hire Majerus. Majerus in College Station. That would be funny.

The Kansas St job also opened up with Huggins going to West Virginia.

Is this an attractive job to anyone? I can't imagine K State being much of a draw to any big time coaches. Very little tradition in hoops, and until recently football, plus you have to compete with the Jayhawks.

I actually don't think the A&M job is that bad of a job for hoops. They have had ZERO tradition in hoops and their program has been in shambles. Gillespie has changed some of those feelings...but I really think if a coach comes in and gets to the NCAA tourney every once in a while, he will be set for a long time.

never underestimate an Aggie's hatred of the Longhorns. Now that he has gotten a taste of besting the Longhorns, he won't be satisfied with mediocrity.

If I were wrong, then RC Slocum would still be coach.

Aggies must be the worst fans; I could not imagine ever coaching there.

Bear Bryant even knew it was wise to leave. If the Bear left, so should ever other right minded individual.

Of the many hotseat jobs, there are few worse than aTm.

In basketball, Kentucky is the worst of the worst.

Katz says A&M is considering Gregg Marshall. Also says Marshall will go if offered.

I guess A&M is a couple of notches higher than Utah. If not a dozen.

As far as A&M fans being bad, I don't know, after they never boo their team and coahes. Except for when they do.

A&M fans are delusional if they think they are a basketball power. Just like K-state fans were delusional if they expected Huggins to stay more than one year.

Huggins needed a job after the drunk driving incident and the NCAA violations to lay low for a while. K-state was the perfect job a Big 12 school with fairly deep pockets, they were under achievers but were not far away from being mediocre. He made K-state mediocre parlayed it in to the WVA job which in a year or two he will use to take one of the elite jobs in the country.

A&M with Law graduating will fall back in to mediocrity and continue to fight the good fight for those NIT berths. Zulu i am sorry to say but get used to the 16-18 win seasons because you will be back there very shortly.
