Doesn't look like he will survive at College Station much longer.

Yikes. This was my first thought this morning when I read that UCLA had come all the way back to win this game.
A&M is the Notre Dame south of the Mason-Dixon Line. They haven't been truly relevant outside of a year or two in the past 15-20 years yet their fans act like entitled brats.
He was already on notice...then, oversaw an epic collapse last night with absolutely no answer(s) at all while it was happening...if you watched, it appeared pretty clear to me that he knew/felt the same as the collapse was underway...personally, I am surprised that he is still there as Head Coach this morning given the short leash that he was on already and then with what happened.
The funny/ironic thing about it is that Mora is in about the same situation at UCLA, and, when trailing 44-10 in the third, he was facing the same fate potentially...several in the media had already touted this as a game that may be the first step in ultimately costing one of the respective Head Coaches their job, especially if one of them lost in a blowout...but nobody ever thought about the scenario of not losing in a blowout, but, losing a blowout...in pretty epic fashion.
That ship has sailed. He obviously would have been better than our previous coach, but Brohm has shown a lot of promise. No regrets.
turned off the Aggies game at half to watch a better game between Va. Tech- W. Va. Two very good QB's going after it. I really like what I saw from that Grier kid.
We have our coach. Honestly I would be more afraid of TAMU firing Sumlin and then going after Brohm.
They can go get Morris from SMU. Sumlin can come to Purdue as an analyst.
My son is a freshman at TAMU. I can tell you after visiting ND, Purdue, and TAMU, there is some similarity between TAMU and ND in terms of fan support and enthusiasm about the school and football. I had never seen anything like it, and certainly didn't experience that while at Purdue for 4 years. Their love of the school and its many traditions run deep. It's very unique in that regard.
TAMU is different from ND in that they aren't as arrogant about it (yes, every school has their fans that aren't grounded in reality), at least the average student we met wasn't that way... again, this is my perception after visiting all 3 colleges and extended time at TAMU when we moved him in.

Considering he was an OC before getting the Houston head coaching job, no.
