Well, you ran off Stallings and he won a national title at Alabama.

And then Bob Bockrath proceeded to run Stallings off in 1996.

If you want to blame anyone for the 10 years of roaming in the wilderness, Bockrath is your freaking man. University President Andrew Sorensen also deserves some credit as well.

That's because we still fricking sucked as a University and program and Gene had shite for experience. Our Old-Army big cigars were naive as frick about stuff like that (some still are), but that was a long time ago. I wasn't even born yet.

Gene went and got 18 years of NFL coaching experience before heading to Bama, which already had a foundation in place for him to walk right into and be successful. It was two totally different coaches in two totally different eras, and 1965 A&M looked more like the Citadel than the largest public school in Texas it is now.
