Far from a lateral move. A&M can spend ISU under the table. Finances are better, facilities are better, resources are better, you can argue the fan support is as good if not better, and the recruiting advantage is out-of-this-world better. The move to the SEC is a benefit or a hindrance depending on what side of the fence you fall on in that argument.

Yep. That's why the move was made. A&M always has the next guy pretty much lined up (minus final details) before firing.
A&M is at a lower level than Texas or Alabama, but their fans expect an Alabama type performance.
Also if Rhoads would be hired this year, you can pretty much expect his President or his AD to be fired. We've all seen how new ADs like to get their own hires in and if Rhoads isn't winning 9 games a year he would get fired. Also A&M is ******* weird and I could never see Rhoads saying gig 'em or whoop.
Which makes 0 sense. Sumlin has been gifted with an outstanding quarterback. If you are making the move to the SEC and dont know the territory why would you not bring in an SEC guy?

Does it matter? A$M fans would be in favor of playing in Hades as long as it's not in the same conference as Longhorn U...
He is from RC Solcum's coaching tree and has the backing of the big donors. That's what matters at A&M.
There is a better chance that I get a $3 million raise than Rhoads making $3 million in Ames next year. There is no way we can afford that right now.
I've heard rumblings that we can't really afford to get him to $2 million. If we can't, then we can't expect Rhoads to not at least listen to other offers.
have to figure in costs of living too........Ames, IA much cheaper to live in than most places. Making $1.5-2.0 MM / year in Ames makes him probably top 5 individuals in the city......Making $3MM / year in other cities he might not be in the top 100 paid individuals in the community.

I certainly wouldn't expect it to exceed $2 million either. I think we will give him enough to make him comfortable for the foreseeable future though.

I'm fairly certain JP is not living in a vacuum. I have little concern at all. There are enough deep pocket ISU alums to keep CPR in Ames for a LONG time. All the noise is good for our program.......very good. Now we just need to add 1 or 2 four stars to the current class. Kids move on when coaches get fired.

Let's steal some of A&M's, and Missouri's players, final kick in the nuts when exiting the conference.
