Their egos are too big to admit that.

Probably a great pickup, but this is no longer a coincidence, but a trend, and possibly a rule for Aggie. Look East to Baton Rouge to try and copy LSUs success by buying pieces of it.

I’m glad that we have a coach that is going after other great coaches regardless if it bothers some insecure fans.

How has it worked better than when Moffitt was around?


I never said it worked better, I just said the current approach seems to be working fine.

I think Moffitt is a solid hire.

It’s a shame another poster is twisting your words…like you typically do.

This whole thing reminds me of the Corey Raymond situation, if I'm being honest.

There's a reason he's not in baton Rouge anymore. Also, ANM is little brothering SO hard.


Yeah Kelly wanted his guy at S&C. Moffitt was hired by Saban and kept by Les and O.

Kelly has a system and every part of the program fits into it. The way Moffitt ran his S&C was not a fit for what Kelly wanted out of it. Nothing wrong with that. Kelly is maximizing every aspect of the athletic department from nutrition to practice.

A&M got a great hire. But we've seen if Elko doesn't make every part of the program fits than it won't matter. Moffitt can install his system and the players need to be held accountable to put in the effort. O did not do that after 2019. That was more on him than Moffitt. (To be clear, I still have incredible respect for O as well. I don't blame him 100% for the fall.)

Considering he was at LSU for 20 years, they would know quite well

Enjoying his life/money at a place he loves while waiting for a job opportunity that was worth it to him. But in reality, who gives a shite other than concerned trolls.

Like I said, hard for him to be worse than the current S&C coach. We will see.

And the conditioning under Moffitt was getting suspect. Even before Kelly, his relevance was questioned.

That's one way to let everyone know you are dining from the bottom of the food chain.

I love Moffitt, but he is very behind the times.


What have Kelly done all those years? He won zero championship.
