Would love Jans. Definitely an upgrade over Buzz

If we missed on our #1, Beard. I have no confidence in our athletic department anymore.

---

I mean, after the Stoops debacle, how would you have any confidence in our athletic department?

It's like a bunch of Three Stooges making decisions.

They're about to put lipstick on a pig. A bow on a turd. I can see the article now from the A&M athletic department.

If Beard doesn't come here now, I blame this guy:

Nobody wants to coach in Aggieland because of all the weird traditions and no support. I don't blame them

---

Nobody cares about the traditions, there are plenty of other schools with "strange" traditions - calling the Hogs anyone?

Lack of support for basketball may be a valid critique. And like it or not, having to deal with operating in the shadow of Texas now that they are in the SEC with us, is a headwind a lot of coaches probably don't want to have to fight against.

---

Calling the hogs is nothing compared to A&M traditions in the level of cringe. I love the traditions here, but yes they are seen from everyone not an ag as crazy and weird.

It's kind of crazy to me...we see ourselves as "different" and "unique" and we are, if you compare us to Average State University. One thing I've noticed after living in the deep south for a few years is that EVERYBODY has their own little quirks and traditions they're proud of, the stuff that makes everyone's favorite university so much different and better than yours. I've heard so many stories and whatnot from fans/alums from SEC schools and everyone's so excited to tell you why their school is perfect and I'm nice and polite about it but in my head I'm thinking...ugh, this is what Aggies sound like to outsiders when we share our Aggie lore.

Nobody cares. Everyone loves their school for the weird shht they do that nobody else does. I'd guess for these big time recruits, they hear all the schtick and they end up at a campus that gives them the most attention (NIL, hot chicks, whatever) and gives them the best shot at turning pro.

Wring your hands and gnash your teeth if you want about our milkmen cheerleaders and yelling at bus drivers to sit down. It's not making a difference in our product on the playing field. The golden arcs look like the golden arches to everyone outside our fanbasea and that's fine.

Trev just knocking the ball out of the park.

We are a ****ing laughingstock,

It more means that a decade of mostly bad basketball wiped out everything.

Get rid of the ridiculous farmers fight bs and yell leaders to start with. It's mind numbing how bad they make us appear.

---

That was largely wiped with the work the rowdies did with the yell leaders in the 2000s.

Not sure what happened or why we were back to 1990s era football game management by the yell leaders.

---

does that just mean the outbound senior Rowdies don't have a system that passes the torch down to the underclassmen to resume the programming? Year to year?

---

I don't think it's so much that as poor coaching engagement, poor results, and general attendance and support atrophy.

The yell boys do nothing to enhance things at basketball games. In fact, they stifle it. Now some of the Rowdies chants were really, really lame but were a lot better than the "a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a", sit down bus driver, BTHO, and farmers fight we get with the yell boys. Seriously, they should be banned from all sports except football and should be put on a leash there. We don't need anymore "my tra-la-la" or the absolutely cringe worthy bits they do at midnight yell. My gosh!!!!

Sit down bus driver is great

We're way past that now

Not sure if we're still listening to this dude, but he seems to imply we're trying for TJ Otzelberger before moving on.

The names we are told the A&M brass currently prefers if TJ says no.

Mark Byington
Steve Forbes
Chris Jans
Steve Lutz
Kyle Smith

Lutz was ahead on Trev’s prelist so he may be a little ahead but all 5 know how to fight for jobs.

Hoiberg also mentioned but we can’t see it.

I don't know why an Iowa State coach would want to come to a lesser program.

Lutz and Jans would be embarrassing hires. They have a losing record in conference virtually every year.

Otz or Mack I'm cool with. Everyone else mentioned is not good

Out of the 7 coaches mentioned in that tweet, it seems only Otz is a good hire. All those other guys' records suck, and they sound like they'd suck at recruiting teenagers.
A&M brass could be even dumber than we imagined.
