re: Who are some coaches that would consider Texas A&M ?

I was just curious what level of names people would throw out there for a potential Aggie job. Personally, I think Petrino is too big a name for A&M

I kind of chuckled earlier at how quickly Paul Petrino was shrugged off, but he's done a bang up job at Illinois; those Florida fans out there should tell you how damned near impossible it is to make a Zook team look competent offensively. If Illinois kept up their dark horse run towards a Big Ten title, Paul would be the kind of guy that would be looking to make a splash as a potential HC at a mid level BCS program, or slightly above mid level.

Why?

Arkansas is a nice program, but what is their ceiling? (Yes, I know they have a solid lead in the heads up record with A&M.)

Why does A&M almost perennially out recruit Arky? Ya, they get some good players, and A&M does lose some kids to them with A&M offers, but not that often.

I can think of five 2012 kids that A&M has committed with Arky offers...Don't believe Arky has one with an A&M offer (they do have a 2013 commit with one though). But at least 3 of our 2013 kids be offered by them.

FWIW I don't want Petrino. Just saying that even with a down A&M program, you can still get better players (using the objective measure of rankings for guys coming out of HS).
