He’s probably the one they’ve had their eye on for awhile.

A&M didn’t announce and the way this went down with Syracuse it could have been part of the negotiations 🤷♂️.

No way they paid $75 million buyout to get Babers.

Deadly? He couldn’t win at Syracuse against ACC opponents but he will be deadly at A&M in the toughest division in FBS?
I don’t get why people are so high on him as a coach. He failed miserably at Cuse.

It is not nonsense in fact it’s so true that Saban wouldn’t consider the job at any price knowing this

I don’t get why people are so high on him as a coach. He failed miserably at Cuse.
In 2017 Babers led the Orange to their first ever 10 win season in the ACC and first 10 win season in 17 years prior in a crappy conference.
He managed to out coach a championship Clemson staff several times which in itself was remarkable.
The man did this in snow drifts land, no money being spent on staff, facilities, poor attendance to games, very poor ability to recruit due to all the above.
If A&M is looking to build a strong culture with an offensive minded coach, Babers is the way to go. If he’s given a healthy budget to hire a competent staff and recruits Texas Talent, yes he will succeed!

So, Babers had one good season 6 years ago and several crappy ones, especially recently consecutively. And you think that has earned him a better job and a pay raise?
No chance at all he is going to A&M.

Haha ok we all know it isn’t happening but I still would take a shot at him. Steve spurrier took Duke to 10 win season and that was that teams ceiling. That didn’t stop him from taking Florida to the title. Doing a 10 win at Syracuse was nothing short of miraculous and deserves merit. Add to that he’s a moral man, a good trustworthy role model and all he needs is a place that has the resources.

Duke did not win 10 games under Spurrier. They were 5-6, 7-3-1, and 8-4.
That is annual improvement and progress and it earned him a promotion.
Babers went backwards. The situations are not close to comparable.

He seems like a good guy. I’m sure it’s not easy recruiting to Syracuse and it’s a pretty tough place academically.

If you can't win in the ACC then you can't win anywhere. League full of teams with tiny football budgets, small fan bases, miserable facilities, and 2 star players. Clemson has near limitless resources compared to most, and has won their share of games by attracting some top talent (at times) and paying enormous salaries to the staff. Babers has done nothing to distinguish Cuse among the second tier of ACC teams. Mike Elko has found a way to do more with less which is why he is in the A&M conversation. Went 9-4 in 2022 and will be bowl bound again in 2023 despite injury issues to their QB.

Well to be fair Babers wasn’t in control of a lot there. Do you realize how hard it is to recruit elite talent to NY? An area that has 2’ of snow on the ground this time of year. How about the fact that Covid in 2020 NY wasn’t exactly top of the list due to everything being locked down and walking around in mask. Add to that no one cares enough to show up to games without Covid so it’s doubtful their NIL money is an open checkbook.
I hope he can land somewhere with some resources so we can see what this man can do. Syracuse has about ruined his career and clearly the public perception is that he isn’t a good coach, which I don’t believe is the case

Brent Key was embraced talking to him an extra long time last night. I was starting to think they might make out. Maybe he ends up as an assistant at GT.
