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