I was thinking over the A&M candidates at the gym this morning. The list in their minds is very short I am sure. In many ways they are right to be picky and can be. It’s an attractive tier two job with tier 1 resources.
It won’t happen but Sanders is a good fit if I’m thinking this through correctly
1. SS can go with him as his coach left and kids get a free pass I believe (if it’s only for termination then ignore the rest)
2. They are absolutely stacked with talent and Sanders can just be a mouthpiece and recruiter like he was at JSU. They won’t beat Bama and Georgia but he isn’t coaching long enough for that to matter most likely.
3. Petrino is a weirdo but a heck of an OC. Major upgrade from what Sanders has now
4. SS and TH immediately have Heisman aspirations that isn’t happening here
5. A&M can pay him less than Jimbo and it’s still a raise
6. No massive buyout needed. Sanders doesn’t care about that.
7. Sanders fits right into the whole cult thing and they would love it
It’s a crazy idea but if I was A&M, given the coaches they have, the kids they have and the resources I’d do it for the next 3-4 years.
