Summary
Texas A&M was on the verge of hiring Mark Stoops away from Kentucky, but the parties came apart. Godfrey walks all of us through A&M’s process and the emerging, competing narratives about why a deal didn’t happen. Is this another Tennessee-Greg Schiano situation? Yes, but in its own way. Let’s talk about those angles and other ones surrounding this telling carousel moment.
Production: Anthony Vito.
