The reason why a&m fell off at the start of the new century wasn't just because Texas righted the ship and there was nothing we could do about it. RC Slocum for years was trying to get new facilities. A&M wouldn't budge after the construction of the zone. We fell behind in facilities. Then, mack brown comes in and does something no one had ever done before. Offer juniors. That changed recruiting and that was something RC did not want to do. So Bob stoops and mack brown consistently out recruited RC by the end of the 90s. Not to go along that RC was held onto probably a little bit longer than he should have and we didn't fire him until we already were in a bad place. And what did we then do? Hire Dennis franchione instead of urban Meyer.
