Is A&M having NIL or culture problems?

The recruits are seeing the news about the male-on-male naked humping in the dorms and staying clear of aggy.

Also, some recruits tweeted they read the SEC Rants forum and noticed how unrespected and petty the aggy users are, apparently.

Some recruits also noted how many draggies are roaming around Collie Station and felt creeped out.

I actually think firing jimbo was a big mistake and premature esp if all you did was hire your old defensive coordinator. They will regret this for years

That's what happens when they become jealous of Texas' success. They've always been this way.

Just didn't think they had an inferiority complex big enough to spend $77 million just to fire a head coach

They went from having an effective recruiting HC to Mike Elko. Jimbo has always recruited well, wherever he has been. Plus, this is Elko’s transition class, so fallout and struggle is to be expected.

A&M has always had culture problems. This haunts them now, and will haunt for years to come until they make the decisions they know they have to make to change things (excluding the delusional ones ofcourse).

As far as NIL, A&M has loads of money sure, but other schools have some money too and have learnt how to play this part of game. Instead of attempting to buy whole teams, they focus on specifically what they need: a tight end, a couple of defensive lineman, an experienced halfway decent quarterback. Few schools can outbid A&M overall, but they don't have to. They can just outbid A&M on a particular target. Then mathematics takes over. Enough teams do that, and suddenly your roster is depleted because you've been outbid across the board, not by one team, but by a dozen.

Without reading the original post and responding to the question at face value, while ignoring the childish drivel in the comments, A&M has suffered from a multitude of problems. We have hired great coaches, but failed to keep them for a number of reasons. Either more prestigious programs come calling, or they get caught up in scandal (perhaps due to administrative pressure or just bad decision making). There have been some bust hires as well, but that can be said of any program, even Alabama and Ohio state.

We didn’t keep up with the arms race in facilities in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s especially, which cost us heavily.

Once the money really started flowing, the people who were giving a lot of it were allowed to influence decision making too heavily I would surmise, which they should have been kept out of. Tough to do to your bankroll I guess. But such is the culture of ultra conservative baby boomer oil billionaires. They don’t like to be left out. So if there’s a culture problem, it lies with the donors. Not the student body.

Fisher did a good job of instilling a “just another game. Just another opponent, 1-0 each week” philosophy. Better than any other coach in my time. Gone were the big blowout losses after a big win, frequent hangovers, and generally volatile performance differences from week to week. He created a degree of consistency we haven’t seen in decades. I hope that continues.

I refuse to believe recruits care at all about student body traditions, or the corps. I realize this website and a lot of media and advertising like to kind of highlight that part of the university, but it is minuscule in comparison to the overall student body population. Players are unlikely to ever encounter or experience much of anything related to it. That stuff is just what idiots online like to make fun of.

Recruits are more concerned with getting paid (now), is the coach going to put them into the best position to get into the NFL (maximizing play time, improving and showing off their skill set), and (if they’re smart) getting a good education. If their concern is the night life or pulling wool, they’ll likely be a liability in short order anyway.

I'd say both at the moment. Every post I see on Texags convinces me the majority of them truly don't understand the difference between NIL and old school bag game. That part can be fixed over time, not so sure about their turditions.

I found your problem.
