You are mistaken. They're getting a bowl.
HTH
lol turns out they are only the 2nd school ever to be allowed to accept a bowl bid at 6-7.
How odd. I'm sure DesignatedT was well aware of this fact.
It's also pretty odd that Rick will be on the sidelines for the Pac12 le game, but not the prospective bowl game, imobaibhticto.

i see what you did there
oh come on get marooned out and fired up! you have an exciting future with a new rival!
heres the real question for a neutral site: astrodome or dragon stadium in nacogdoches?
This is true. I could have sworn we were talking about whether or not it was odd that coaches get fired before bowl games, but once I proved that it actually happens several times a season, that didn't seem to be the topic anymore.
wouldn't be surprised, but this is old information. ucla got the waiver a couple days ago..
Good luck A&M
I have a question, after A&M hires their new coach they will have 3 coaching contracts on the books. A&M also is required to pay the Big 12 exist fee. Can A&M even afford to hire a big name coach?
When I think of getting fired before a bowl game, I'm thinking immediately getting dismissed.......which is the case here with Sherm, right?
I'm well aware it's more common that a coach will be told he is being let go after the bowl game.
It's bad form to not let him finish one last game with the kids he recruited, imo.
and it's rather odd, imo.
They will have 2 coaches. Sherman who is being owed 6 million over the next 3 years and the new coach. Fran was payed off 2 years ago. The exit fee is rumored to be about 15mil. Kevin Sumlin will be the new coach (not sure if you consider that a big name or not)
A&M wants Sumlin. Sumlin to ASU was heating up a lot and A&M didn't want to miss out, hence they made the move. I expect Sumlin to be named coach after his game this weekend.
If they hire Sumlin tomorrow, will he coach A&M in their bowl game?
No, but you're not going to hire a new coach with one currently employed. Plus, it looked like A&M wanted to wait it out for awhile longer to announce the firing/hiring of both but somebody inside leaked the information which created the whole miscommunication/problem. People are very upset with that person.
They also were scared Sumlin would commit to Arizona State. Especially when rumors came out they were going to offer 4mil/yr or something ridiculous.
No way in
His first day will be next year
Sherman was about to step into a recruit's home.
Mike Sherman Was Fired Over The Phone, In A Recruit's Driveway
That's a little extreme. Sherman said he was almost to Davis' house, not that it makes it any better, but he wasn't walking in the door or sitting in the driveway.
I tend to agree
Yeah I'd count on Sumlin to A&M. ASU doesn't even consider itself on Sumlin's radar anymore.
lol offering someone 4+ million a year and getting rejected by him

Classy, I imagine coaches are lining up to be treated so well!He had just pulled into the driveway of a recruit's home Thursday night when athletic director Bill Byrne called to dismiss him. Sherman was disappointed the news leaked to his family and players before he was told.
Once again, it wasn't supposed to go down like that. Someone from inside leaked the information (people are very upset about this and I suspect this person will be punished) Once the information got out to the media, A&M had to make the phone call.
Does it really matter how it was supposed to go down? It happened that way.
Sure it matters.
It's not like they said " Oh, Mike Sherman, call his ass up and fire him. Do it while he's on the recruiting trail while you're at it".
A&M will take care of the person who leaked information he wasn't supposed to leak and show that it won't be tolerated.
Sorry, I meant more to Sherman and people outside the University. It's reprehensible.
