Pinnick honors I personally believe that Pinnick is unusually mature and realizes that he, Coach Plough, and the team have something special. He also benefits from family close by. My gut tells me he completes this year and next, and then he has a serious decision to make. There are innumerable risks bouncing, and nothing but opportunities here to grow and perfect his crafts.
I've followed college athletics for a long time, and could tell you stories about chicanery, deceit, lies, manipulation, illegal behavior, and more, whether by coaches, staff, or community members. We Aggies steer clear of that, from Lotter to Sochor to Plough, it's not our culture. The recent influx of millions has to only make that 10x worse.
Plough's interview today - again too low on volume - suggests Vargas may be close to returning! That would be phenomenal. Go Ags!
