we are planning a move and since the weather has been so terrible this weekend, decided to pack some things. Opened a drawer in a hutch and found Traveling Ags pictures from Germany trip and Russia trip from 15 yrs ago. In the middle of the pleasant pictures was the front page of the DMN Sports page dated Wed. April 6, 2011 titled, 1 and Only......A&M 76-70 ND. I am sad

We need to take Vic Schaeffer from t.u. It's the only way to properly repay them for Schlossnagle. Preferably before he wins a national title for them. BMAs need to get on this ASAP.

sorry we're not dropping 3 million to buyout Joni, then 4.5 million to buyout Vic, then turn around a pay vic 2.6 million if not more for the next 5 to 6 years.

now maybe we make run and make the sips pay him more just for spite.

again its real easy to tell other how to spend their money

Well, we've been played so many times for raises it's about time we get some payback.

Also I guess if I'm Vic why do I wanna come here and have to rebuild this mess, even with the portal. And i don't think there is anything we can offer better than what he's got.

He also has the number one recruiting class (maybe in history) coming in next year. 3 McDonald's All Americans, another 4 star, and they're also adding an international prospect who would most likely be another 5 star

Good let's pay him $10m per year bc we'd be an immediate contender with those athletes lol!

I know that's not realistic but I'm just saying!

So who do you take that money from, volleyball, MBB, softball. At some point the money isn't there. We're already losing more on WBB than anything else.

I actually think we'd be better off hiring much cheaper coach that can build a program thru the portal and international players, than trying to build thru HS ranks.

I'd be happy with that. Someone like Bucky with lots of drive and ambition that can bring in a staff that's hungry for success and chases and finds the best athletes he/she can.

He's an Aggie. Appeal to his sense of loyalty. Why wouldn't he want to work here for the same paycheck? Surrounded by decent people instead of having to deal with the slime of the cesspool.

Not to mention he would be an instant Aggie legend by pulling the rug out from under the sips, regardless of whether he ever wins a game here.

I wish we had this at A&M. Not necessarily this specific coach (I know we've gone round and round about him - I will aways be a fan of his), but this is the style the winning programs employ. We are too soft. Too worried about feelings. Too worried about who is getting what $$. Vic is a winner and will continue to be one.

GB's refusal to retire gracefully forced Vic to accept the best career opportunity he has ever had, and he is now near the top of his profession. He made the right choice, and we have to live with his teams rolling us for many years. Live and learn.

Well he is a coach that wins games but he has been a head coach for 20 yrs and he has not won the big one.

Just shows the different standard you set for women than men......if he was say coaching football how long would he last

I don't believe I'm setting a standard any different between the men and women. We've never won a national championship in men's basketball, but if Bucky's results in year 4 are this poor I'd want a change as well. Football is the exception to the rule. That program fuels and funds all sports at Texas A&M. But, bringing in someone competitive (like Vic even though we won't get him), would be miles better than where we are. Gary gets the credit for having won the national championship, but we wouldn't have won that without Vic. He was a basket away from winning 2 championships at Mississippi State. He left and they may never be the same. With the resources tu has, he will win there, too.

He went to Miss. State in 2012, so just 12 years as a HC (2019-20 postseason was cancelled) at a real school, and 2 Championship games, 2 Final Fours, and 4 Elite 8s. Mulkey, Geno, and Dawn have won all but two of the championships in that time frame.

Unless of course you're counting the Sam Houston years against him as far as not winning it all.

Seriously? No one except for trolls would call for the head of a football coach who has done what Vic has done in women's basketball. Just quit while you're behind.
