re: Serious football question, serious answers desired: Why is 2022 Texas A&M so bad?

LSU posters Larry and Uhtred nailed it. Jimbo runs an offense that is too complex for his team to execute while somehow being very easy to defend. Probably because he can't teach guys how to run it and I'm not sure he even knows what his system is anymore. Talented players are confused, unsure and hesitant.

His offense leaves no room for error so he is constantly berating offensive players for mistakes. The result is an offense of guys who are nervous, confused, hesitant and not having any fun out there.

I think his constant berating and forcing his bullshite scheme down the players throats has created a huge rift in the locker room. The players don't trust him or his system and I can't imagine they like him given his constant bitching about not executing his shitty outdated system.

I do think a lot of really good players are going to hit the portal to the benefit of a lot of SEC teams. And honestly I hope these guys do transfer and go somewhere where they can have fun and play in a modern offense.

I think our defense is fine, just very young. They forced 4 turnovers (really 5) on the road yesterday and the offense did nothing with it.

When you're forcing 4 turnovers and still losing, that's really bad.

Was the case vs Bama also IIRC.

Our offensive scheme is out of sync. There is no coordinated effort among our offense nor does anyone seem to know what their role is.

The inability of this staff to recruit a quality QB or snag one from the portal to start with and the inability to develop what they have. All our QBs look lost. I would be curious to see what Weigman or King could do under a competent OC.

Our receivers seem to never create space or are in the wrong route. This may be some of the reasons why our QBs look lost.

You can have all the 5 stars you want but if the scheme is bad then it doesn't matter.

Injuries, inexperience, and Jimbo

I’m not sure how factual this is but when I’ve watched their games it looks like the offense in the second half gets worse. Also they seem to stop feeding the RB in the 2nd half.

Spot on. Jimbo makes zero adjustments at halftime. Believe we had negative 7 yards in the 2nd half against Auburn and 5 straight 3 and outs before some last minute slop yards when the game was no longer in doubt.

This is one of the reasons our fans think Jimbo is either trying to get fired or has cognitive issues.

I can’t wait to see this Matt House defense against aTm. If LSU can start well on offense I don’t think aTm will score more than 7 points.

Ive watched almost every game. They are not as bad as their record. Well, not entirely.

To me the defense looks the part and has played well most of the time. The games they are losing are sorta close till the opponent shows some separation. Lot of youth that will get better ... some day. If the staff can hold them together.

The offense has speed/talent galore but seems to want to try for the big play too much. Nothing consistent. 25+ yards or nothing. QB play is woefully lacking for this late in the season.

You can bet they will play their arse off vs. LSU. But the die may already be cast. Good luck recruiting, its gonna cost boosters even more to hold on to the '22 class and stock up the '23 class.

Maybe Jimbo broke a mirror and only has two or three more years of bad luck—he did say they have had bad luck lately. Otherwise I think time has passed him by. It happens to a lot of coaches unwilling to change and try something new.

Well he coaches in cow shite alley
