"He's passionate, he works really hard, he wants to do what's right, he's tough enough to make hard decisions," Brown said. "We've got time. We will watch him through the years. If he wanted to do it today, we wouldn't have done it because I'm not ready to quit."

However, in Aggieland, Sherman must be wondering how much time he has remaining on his clock, despite his seven-year contract for $1.8 million a year. Though Sherman's team is not the worst in A&M history, it ranks near the bottom. I'm all for giving him a chance, but lines need to be drawn before the losses get out of hand, if they have not already.

Byrne should take notes on Texas' choices, if not his own choices he made when hiring coaches for non-football sports.

First, hire a solid assistant from somewhere farther away than 90 miles. Then, announce him as Sherman' successor and ultimately buy out Sherman's contract.

That is likely to happen in Austin for Brown and Muschamp while the Aggies continue to lose and be a coaching carousel that spins too fast for anyone to jump on and stop it. As George Jetson often said, "Jane! Get me off this crazy thing!"
