Absolutely. But stuff happens, 8-5 LSU last year can testify right?

yeah

but that stuff has happened
9-4, 8-5 just happened, and Sumlin got 10 million dollars for it.

and whiel Chavis is a great hire, its over stated that y'all lose games because of your defense. Your offense scored 19 points in loses and 48 in wins. Chavis may save a game a year, but I don't think your defense will ever be #1 good. They simply will be on the field too much.

Well well just have to wait and see won't we?

As pointed out before 3rd in Chavis is ok if your up 3 scores with 2 minutes to go.

I didn't pay 10 million dollars for it. I also didn't pay 1.7 million for Chavis.

Why do people get up in arms about how much money we are "overpaying" our coach.

Since 1999 but before Sumlin, A&M had a couple of 9 win seasons and went like 1-8 in bowl games.

Since then the floor has been 8 wins and went 3-0 in bowl games in the toughest division in CFB. Seems to me hes doing a pretty damn good job based on A&M standards.

Well, generally teams lose more games when their offense scores 19 points, and win more games when their offense scores 48.

As for your point, in the 9 losses the last two years, A&M has scored an average of 23 points per game. That's not good, but it's not abysmal.

In those same losses, the defense has surrendered an average of 39 points a game. That is godawful.

Some losses are complete team efforts (2014 Bama game). Some games are the fault of the offense (2014 LSU). But the greater share have been on the shoulders of the defense.
