I know this will likely get buried with all the other information but was notable for reflection.

Made me think about what was good and bad and alternate reality of the last 10 years.

Good
Mahomes probably ends up somewhere besides Tech if we don’t hire Kliff.
Our current OC was born out of his tree.
If we don’t make the hire we probably don’t heal the fan base from the Leach firing.

Bad
We learned that Kliff can’t coach. Just a OC. Probably as part of the realization Tech was cheap at the time with coaching pool.
Would never trade mayfield for mahomes but we saw a future Heisman transfer go to a rivals and fill the void of bob stoops inability to find a QB pre-Riley.

Strange Alternate reality:

If you had told me when we hired him that we would have the greatest QB in our programs history only to not go to a bowl game his last season and Kliff would be fired but a head coach in the NFL I would not have believeanyone.

If Kliff stays at A&M and brings on Mahomes decent chance A&M wins a national title or SEC championship, Mahomes wins the Heisman filling their lifelong void of finding a decent QB.
