Why? Texas A&M will not hire Chad Morris
Sep 30, 2013, 6:15 PM
|

they will go after a proven head coach...... They could get the HC at Baylor, A&M is a better job. They could get several proven HC's...

Doesn't the Texas/TAMU rivalry come into the pic too?

With Morris being a UT guy, many think much of the TAMU fans and donors would not like having him on board. Then again, if he comes in and wins it would change things. Getting the offer is the hard part.

has a huge inferiority complex and they will do everything they can too out do Texas and Texas will not be hiring an OC........................ Texas will be hiring a new HC this year so A&M if they lose theirs will have to try and out do them.........

you think TAMU has an "inferiority complex" with their current situations? TAMU left that behind when they moved to the SEC. Passe`.

Two years doesn't do away with decades of feelings......... Texas can regain everything they have lost in the blink of an eye........ Texas in like UGA in Georgia but in a state with 30M people..... Texas A&M is trying to raise several hundred million for improvements to Kyle Field... Texas wouldn't have that problem they would have money left over not knowing what to do with it......... The SEC means nothing to Texas........ Texas is already moving to replace Mack Brown ......

Trying to raise?

They raised 740 million dollars last year. Sumlin will only leave A&M for the NFL. A&M has enough money to match anyones offer, and Sumlin is killing Texas in recruiting at the moment.

on the field. For that matter, they're turning the tide in recruiting. Texas has the problems, not TAMU. I understand the huge advantage Texas has with funds. That's true when compared to almost any school in the country and I agree that's not going to change anytime soon. The fact is TAMU is doing a lot more with a lot less. Sumlin has to get some credit for that. If he were to leave (big if), they could come looking. An alum with national recognition, HC or not, isn't that far fetched. I do think it would be Morris' 'Dream Job'.

TAMU does not have a lot less

Texas A&M has a 7.6 billion dollar endowment, which is fourth largest in the nation. A&M is also larger than Texas.

Texas doesn't have access to all of that money

A good portion of what they receive comes from oil revenue, which fluctuates from year to year. Point being, A&M doesn't have a lot less than Texas.

the worth of the total oil leases Texas has the rights too, and I doubt they are in the market to sell.

see the possibilities. Briles would be an excellent choice but it's not like you have to be a former HC to get the chance. Look what Malzahn did. Morris is known in Texas, it's his alma mater, and it's certainly a conceivable. I think the first question is whether Sumlin would want to walk into that mess.
