Sherman was fired for one reason - he refused to hire on OC. If he just would have given over control, and been a HC he'd still be here, even with all the meltdowns. He also was never on board with the move to the SEC, which sure didn't help.

Sherman prided himself on being balanced, to the point of insanity. If you have 200 yards rushing in the first half, only a moron completely abandons the running game. And we NEVER used the middle of the field in the passing game, either. Then the lack of conditioning was incomprehensible.

Liked Sherman, but I think Sumlin is a large upgrade... Sumlin is a HC first and foremost, and lets his coordinators do their jobs.

Has anyone ever provided an explanation for this? It was crazy. My brother, who is not an Aggie, was involved in the coaching of another program. We'd watch games together and he'd keep saying "This is unbelieveable! Every pass A&M throws is to someone standing inches from the sideline! That's especially ALL Jeff Fuller does! Is Sherman that obsessed with using NO clock? If so, WHY? A&M has no YAC! None!"

Sherman's biggest flaw by far was his defensive recruiting. He simply couldn't recruit an elite DT.
