At the time of their hire:

Jimbo-NC winning coach in his prime

Sumlin was the young hip hot name mid major with Texas ties

Mike Sherman successful NFL coach

Dennis Franchione Texas ties successful at TCU and in SEC at Alabama

I mean arguably each one on paper was a near home run hire and each ended with no titles

What is it about the school that causes such mediocrity in people who have proven high levels of excellence?

Oh, the Aggies can find the best coach in the world bring in urban Meyer or any national championship type coach and they will frick him up and make him below average. It’s the Aggie way.

I never liked the Fisher hired in the first place. Find one who have a longer track record. Fisher doesn't have that.

They can't even come out of the closet even though it's 2023 and nobody cares and everybody knows. They aren't fooling anyone.

It would save them some money, but it would also force them to look in the mirror, which would mean uprooting everything they're about.

You can't put a price tag on reality avoidance of that magnitude.

Johny Manzel did a number on them. It gave them hope. Hope is a bitch.

They should have fired the yell leaders and hired some cheer leaders.

Jimbo wasn’t really a good coach. It just seemed that way because Auburn let Jameis Winston beat them. He left FSU in shambles. There’s no coach in the world that’s worth a shite that wants that Texas A&M job

Around the same time that LSU fans admit it's not the refs it's them.

In other words, never.

All you did was make the argument on why they were hired. But you don’t know any background stories to this hires, and I’m not here to teach lmao

I was worried after manziels first year then I was worried again after jimbo.


Now y’all can have “the best recruiting class of all time” and I know y’all will be the same old same old.


Y’all missed your window. You were the only Texas SEC team with a young cool coach and the talk of college football with Manziel. UT was a mess. Y’all still couldn’t capitalize.




Some schools can win a championship with the worst coach in Ole Miss’ history.

Some schools can’t win their division despite having all the advantages.
