2. He'll be a small fish in a big pond, whereas at Clemson, he's a big fish in a small pond.
3. He's supposedly the heir apparent to Saban. I think he'll hang tight in his comfort zone until Saban leaves.
Also be careful what you wish for. Remember, Clemson boosters were mumbling firing Dabo in year 2. Dabo certain put together great classes and seasons of late, but sometimes a change of scenery doesn't translate properly. There are ton of examples of this in the past, notably Rich Rod, Bobby Petrino, Brian Kelly, Dan Hawkins, Tom Herman and Harbaugh.
I guess, be careful chasing a hot commodity. Would you want Gus Malzahn or Bobby Petrino today versus at their heights in 2013 and 2011 respectively?

Not for A&M, but for Bama. They say he's gonna be Saban's replacement.
