PhatMack19 Posted May 9, 2011 Author Report Posted May 9, 2011 He is on the Maryland campus and it looks like a done deal. Word is A&M AD is already putting out replacement feelers looking for a new HC.
oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Hire a young coach for half the salary and give the football coaches raises!! :)

oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Goodness someone is willing to pay Turge 2.5 million. Wait to they see his offense!! ;D

86hawk Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Good Luck. A&M seems to be the stepping stone to the next level. Let's hope they can bring another up and comer in and keep A&M on the basketball map. beat tu!
oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 Dove- Serious question. Do you think Turge is an elite coach? It will be easier to recruit to Maryland, but it better be because I don't think Turge is a very good recruiter. He never really moved the program up from what Billy G. left and he never got the caliber players Billy G. got. Just my opinion. I would like to hear your opinion on this.By the way A&M was rock bottom bad when Billy G took over. Turge took over a program in very good shape.

If he couldn't recruit in Texas, how in the #$%&^ can he recruit in that area? Too bad Shaka signed an extension at VCU. He could have wrecked some "havoc" at another neighboring school. :D ;)

The ACC is a basketball conference with some good football.
oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I would love to see the Aggies get Shaka!! Turge was always crying about not having 13,000 for a Tues. night game against Northeast southwest central Iowa Tech!! ;D Maybe he will be happy in Maryland, but at a basketball school he better know, they won't be happy with only going to the 2nd round of the NCAA tourney!!

oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I bet most people who are not Aggie fans would hate to see Shaka at A&M!! ;D

oldollie Posted May 10, 2011 Report Posted May 10, 2011 I think VCU has Shaka for now, big raise etc. The rumors for now among media types is Buzz Williams of Marquette. He is from Texas and maybe wanting to come home.
