Now I expected Turgeon to leave us at some point and surprisingly I’m not even that upset that he did. I think he was a good coach and a good man, but I think at least one more coaching change was going to be needed to get over the hump of where we have been. Now don’t get me wrong I like the consistent wins and good teams, but I’m looking for more and that jump to the next level.

The one thing that I’m upset about in this change is the timing. This late in the game with all the new coaches situated and contract extensions signed we are in a tough spot. I think to get any coach that we would really want and be excited about will take a significant amount of money more than we would have paid just a month or two ago with is tough, but I sure hope Mr. Byrne bites that bullet and gets the best coach for Texas A&M. I’m sure he will and I have a lot of trust in Bill to get it done, so I’ll sit back and watch this unfold and check back when this is done.

Some names that have been thrown around for you to ponder in the mean time:
Buzz Williams
Josh Pastner
Scott Spinelli
Fran Fraschilla
Tim Floyd
Tim Miles
Johnny Jone
