I am sure that by the time I click "publish post" things will have have changed in $Bill's national coaching search, but here is what is going on so far...

According the the H-Cron, it is a three man race: Houston Texans assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Mike Sherman, former Notre Dame coach A&M defensive coordinator Bob Davie, and Boise State coach Chris Petersen. Take this list with a grain of salt. $Bill has been overly secertive with his previous coaching searches, and at this point not even the A&M board of regents members are privy to this "closely held secret."

Auburn's head coach, Tommy Tuberville, seemed to be the obvious choice, but $Bill has not contacted him (officially), and someone close to Tubs said he was "not seriously considered for the job." Tubs has said that he would stay in Auburn as long as they wanted him. The victory last night over the other state team should make him pretty popular on campus. Oh wait, our guy did that too but we still gave him the boot.

If you believe the H-Cron, then Mike Sherman is the front runner, but I am a bit sceptical of a Houston paper claiming that a Houston coach tops the list at a school an hour outside of town. Looks more like a sales campaign than an inside scoop.
