Definitely not Bell or Higgi. Reliable source. Scrolled through and saw that MSU coach is mentioned and Iowa. Chat GPT says Dilanni has an extension on his contract as of February 2025 through 2029. MSU - hired in 2021, but no updates on contract…could it be Hosler then?

The whole objection by some folks to people sharing what they know is fascinating. I guess those objectors must hate education , which necessarily involves one person sharing information that another person does not know, simply to give that hearer the benefit of receiving that information. I'd never have thought college graduates would oppose knowledge transfer or accuse the knowledge transferor of being self-exalting. Teachers are bad, I guess?


If you have something that is reliable and can be supported then share it. If it's unsupported and something you heard third party, and you can't share everything, then it reeks of "I know something you don't"

You appreciate the difference don't you?

Ask Trev.

At this point I'm not sure he knows or even cares

No, I don't. I'm a self-obsessed moron.

So what. I'm glad that somebody is hearing something and appreciate the info. Who cares if he can't share. I sure don't.

Same. Respect for the player's privacy. I'm also all for sharing what you can. No harm no foul

Which would we dislike more? Elevating Strader or G coming back after a short retirement (a la tom brady)?

G comes back in not renewing tickets. Not that Trev will care

At this point I gotta think that's the goal. If we suck nobody will push for facility upgrades and NIL. Make Trev happy he gets to save money

I assumed an announcement would be made today since some on here said they knew who the coach would be. But alas, we're still coachless and the mess continues…


17 Division 1 schools have hired a coach this off-season. 4 other SEC schools have hired a new coach. Only two power 4 schools remain without a coach, us and UCLA.

It's been 44 days since G "retired"

This lengthy process has all the appearances of multiple refusals and a very limited number of remaining, low-level choices.

Something unknown to us is very likely having a significantly negative affect on being able to hire a high quality coach.

Texas got one of the best transfers from Denver. They are loading up while we are already falling behind in the portal. I'll admit, I'm a fan from the distance…. But I keep up. We're going to be lucky to field a decent team next year. The longer this draws out the more it hurts next season

Well telling a HC candidate he has to keep staff from a terrible regime that "retired" isn't the best way to do business

So there is an assumption that our next head coach can't bring on their own staff? They have to keep the current assistants?

If true this is at least part of the reason.

Such would be a deal breaker every time. Seems too preposterous to be true.

Is this just someone's opinion of what's happening or is there any truth to it? Where did the rumor come from?

To clarify:

#1. You have to have a deal done before you announce the deal. So that is the ultimate reason.

#2. A&M has a culture. Would you like someone to fit that culture or come in and radically change it? Fit and the right hire is important than a costly bad hire. Again, just look to Texas. All the highly rated attacking talent in the world but did worse than A&M and now they are paying two coaching salaries in a sport that is very difficult to win it all. Much better to take our time and hire the right fit.

#3. I stand corrected on the dead period as that is a prohibition on "in person contact only" for the holiday break as I read the rules. Forgive me as I don't have a full compliance department to advise on all the recruiting rules and variations for each sport.

#4. Active coaches are attending various showcases and communicating plenty with recruits, which likely includes our future coach, whomever that may be.

#5. Don't confuse a delayed announcement for the AD not having a plan and keeping the competitive environment in mind. I don't know the AD but have to assume there is a master plan and I assume there is a bigger picture that we don't have insight into.

As long as it's not Shuttlesworth..... Some would think that's a home run hire, but I think it'd end up embarrassing A&M.

Yup, a basketball player coaching soccer would be a disaster.

If he got game, I think it would potentially work out well for us.

Rumor around that the new HC will have to keep strader and potentially the Director of ops

5. Don't confuse a delayed announcement for the AD not having a plan and keeping the competitive environment in mind. I don't know the AD but have to assume there is a master plan and I assume there is a bigger picture that we don't have insight into.


clearly the plan was to wait 45bdays until after sighting day, after the portal opens , after the national championship
while getting turned down for interview and getting your offers rejected.

Telling ya Trevs got a plan

At this point it's clear we didnt have a plan. We knew our coach was retiring and we didnt have a coach lined up ? That seems like a failure on our part I mean tu just took ucla coach like week ago and other sec programs have done the same within days. Not sure how we expect to rebuild with hiring a coach this late.

Would've been cool if the AD had put some thought into this ahead of time. I guess G's retirement caught us by surprise. /s

He was voluntold… retire or be fired. I assume this is sarcasm bc there is zero chance it caught us by surprise just like needing a women's bball coach after this year should catch us off guard

The program was set back 2 years by G returning this past season. In theory, he and phil should have rode into the sunset together as the program started the next chapter.

As this search runs past the college cup, it has set the program back at least another year.

Trev knew this was coming months ago. This is a huge failure by him.

I even put the /s in case my sarcasm wasn't thick enough.
