Think the buyout will have a little more scrutiny this time around?
No. These people are psychos. They are desperate with UT/OU coming to the SEC. They'll do whatever necessary to land a big splash guy.
I've got an outside the box thought process though. What about Dabo? I'm not convinced Dabo is as against paying players as he lets on. Follow me here. Dabo needs Clem to be perceived as a national power. He knows they can't compete with OSU, OU, Bama, FSU, LSU, etc... in terms of NIL. But he can't admit that. He needs people believing they're on equal footing in every way, but they're not. He's able to hide behind his personal beliefs a little to mask that huge discrepancy. But at some point it's going to run out. He's not going to let something like that tarnish HIS legacy. I think he made that clear in his Tylerrrrr call. That's really all he cares about. A&M is a perfect scenario for him. Clearly he knows how to build a championship program. He would have no limitations whatsoever at A&M. We've all jokingly called him a cult leader...what better place than that group of weirdos in College Station?
They should send 3 blank checks out with a note "See you Monday morning". Whoever shows up first gets the job:
Chris Peterson
Dabo
Urbs
