Official Thread: Aggies Coach Search

[RonMexico]

You bring up a good point: TAMU's former coach gets a top-5 coaching gig in the SEC, while UT's former waste of space gets relegated to cougar country in the C-USA.

penders leaves a smaller slime trail behind than huggins, that's for sure. he has turned UH's program around pretty fast though. he wasn't a bad coach at all, has been pretty successful everywhere he's been. he won't win a le for you, but he can get you to the tourney. i guess that's kind've insulting though. you've really dropped off recently RM, you need to step it up.

I'm sorry - it's been a difficult 36 hours for me... I'll get back. However, Tom Penders did go on radio shows drunk and rip on his players. He also released a player's transcripts to a sports radio talk show when that player was failing class, so he's not the classiest guy. Also, if you look at his post-game comments, UH hasn't lost a game this season... the officials have lost them all.

Watch out for Wichita State's Turgeon and Winthrop's Greg Marshall. Im not saying I want them as my number one pick, but Bill Byrnes is contacting them.

According to ESPN, Turgeon's the man aTm wants to bring in. Should be announced officially later in the day. Odd choice and very quick at that.

I trust Byrne. He knows what he is doing when it comes to hiring coaches.

At least he beat LSU, a feat that Billy could not achieve.

He had his mind made up on Turgeon before Billy left, as the replacement. So long to dreams of Jamie Dixon, Tim Floyd, Lon Krueger, Sean Sutton (LOL)...

[RonMexico]

I wanted Dixon or Kruger, or the guy from VCU. Maybe Turgs will work out well. Bound to be better than a Sutton.

Hmmm - let's see, I'm from Phoenix and went to Texas A&M in 2002... I wasn't a fan or around during the Jackie Sherrill days. A dark time for the Ags, I hear, but it didn't seem like it was as dark as the 60s & 70s when they were losing all the time.

Opened the door for a great run by R.C. Slo and the return of the Aggies to greatness on and off the field (until Fran came along... and then it was just moderately good performance off the field except in the drive-thru at What-a-burger).

Still, I don't know how this compares to the basketball program... maybe I'll go give Tom Penders a call and ask him how his days at UT were... it's 2:20 on a Saturday, so he's probably already wasted.

he wakes up wasted. the guy is truely a piece of . great coach, piece of human being.
