I think so, and it’s been obvious for awhile now…there is something off with that guy…extremely untrustworthy…maybe not as weird as Mullen, but still very, very strange.

Probably not.

But he’s certainly known to waste a ton of elite talent.

I never had him rated very high. Somewhere below guys like Jim Donnan and Houston Nutt but above Ray Goff and Brad Scott

A&M is like Doug’s neighbor Mr. Dink

Everything he shows you was very expensive but it doesn’t work

Ray Goff, Dennis Franchione come to mind.

And Pat Dye, had teams preseason #1 loaded with talent and no championships.

He’s definitely the highest paid per loss coach in SEC history.

Personally I think he’s going to make a fantastic NIL analyst at Alabama next season.

They dumped all over Sumlin who did more at A&M than Jimbo has.

Without factoring in the title that he lucked into at Florida State, he's average at best, and the funny part, at least to me, is that A&M extended him.

Don't tell the Aggies I said this, but no, not even close. There is ONE objective for any P5 coach and this is to win it all. For that reason alone, he is not overrated. I tell fellow LSU fans the same thing when they bitch about Miles and Orgeron. Winning is fricking hard. You do not luck into it with a generational player or have your team win it in spite of you.

Just off the top of my head I would say Dan Mullen, Dennis Francione, Lane Kiffin (at Tennessee), Bret Bielema, and Will Muschamp are much more fitting of that description.

But when the A&M fans come back in here after they upset Miami, I will deny ever saying it was anyone other than Jimbo.

Jimbo took over an established winning culture built by Bowden over decades & destroyed it. He was lucky that aTm came along and hired him away just as FSU was imploding. He's a top-notch OC who's in-over-his-head as a HC. See Peter Principle.

Even Vegas' "Gold & Silver Pawn Shop" rejects him as a fake.

Spurrier at SC comes to mind. He was only in it for the Augusta membership.

Nice to see all you do is start fricking bait threads you are a sad pathetic little man.

Funny how you switch from Ridin Mississippi states dick over to the next team the U can’t stand dick, you are a first class troll Bravo

Only to A&M fans. Everyone else knew he left a mess and FSU and stumbled into a NC there with a player that should have been in jail.

Yes. An overrated and overpaid buffoon.
