What a mess.  There's big boosters on both sides of it as well. The way I understand it...Sumlin didn't want Murray in the first place because he knew he was too small to take the pounding.  Sumlin wa

All these QB's are decommitting and/or transferring because they heard Seth Littrell is the new conductor and under his watch THE MEAN GREEN HYPE TRAIN DON'T STOP

My guess is he goes to TCU. Perfect fit. This is where not having a baseball program really hurts us...

If he doesn't go back to baseball then look at TCU or Baylor as possible landing spots for him. Can't hurt for Littrell to talk to him but he is probably out of our range.

He will be playing baseball somewhere.  My guess is he leaves the conference. OU or UT would be ideal because of their baseball programs.

A UNT baseball team would not be enough to sway a talent of Kyler's magnitude.

Not that we would land him in our current state, but if we had a good baseball program, it would help land dual-sport athletes who also play baseball.

A UNT baseball team would not be enough to sway a talent of Kyler's magnitude.

Agree 100%. I'm just saying it's one of many example why it would help.

Why would he go to TCU?  Kenny Hill is already there.  Or do you all think he gives up football?

What's the timeline of things? Does Kyler Murray have to sit out a year? Does he still have a redshirt year?

If I were him, I'd go to Rice. He isn't going to pro in football. Their baseball program speaks for itself. And he'd light up C-USA as a QB in that system. There's also a good chance it's not going to be on the list of restricted destinations (you can bet the entire SEC West will be.)

Granted, I am fully aware it's difficult to go from playing in front of 100,000+ fans to playing in front of 203.

Yes, and yes. True freshman this year.

That's what I thought Billy. So him going to TCU is not an irrational thought. Just trying to put that thought out there. So if he goes somewhere for baseball and football, how does that work in regards to eligibility? Can he play baseball right away for 3-4 years and then still have his year or two left of football after sitting out of football for 2 years?

He would have to sit out for both football and baseball.

Which is why he may not end up transferring at all. And if he does, he may go play baseball at a Juco or NAIA and enter the baseball draft in 2017.

I don't know how it works for multi-sport athletes. I would assume he would have to sit out this baseball season.

I guess it depends on how serious he is about baseball and/or how serious he is about getting an education. Interesting situation nonetheless.

When Murray was recruited he was told that he could be a two sport athlete. From what I've heard it sounds like Sumlin may have taken that promise back. With a new OC coming in and and Kyle Allen transferring out, it sounds like Sumlin wants Murray to forget about baseball and focus on working with the new OC. Someone needs to tell this kid forget about transferring, just declare for the MLB draft.

Not exactly. Baseball only offers a handful of scholarships. Most baseball transfers play immediately. If he is on scholarship for football, he would not be for baseball and could play right away.

Also, think about when Awasom and Blount played basketball for UNT. They did not count against scholarship bball.

You're probably correct, but being a walk-on didn't provide Baker Mayfield instant eligibility.

What the heck is going on in Aggieland? 

I don't know, but I'm loving it:)

      in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years. There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.

      Keebler has to go!

      Agreed. I would only do it again for a huge name that would excite the fan base, but make the contract heavily based on incentives over guaranteed money. For the Morris-type hires, three years with triggers to extend the contract automatically, like a conference championship buys the coach an extra year with a slight raise. Otherwise it is an annual discussion and negotiation.
