When JF won the Heisman all the Ags were saying "next year". This offseason is no different. Until Sumlin gets great assistants and proves he can develop his own talent there will be no conference titles for A&M. Kyle Allen could be the second coming of Aggie Christ (Manziel) and still wouldn't have the offensive line or half the luck Manziel had. Going to be tough to win games with no defense and a younger, less talented offense.

No they weren't.

With a few exceptions, it typically takes a coach longer than two years to achieve those goals. You forget: Our first year in the SEC was Sumlin's first year at A&M.

Why do you say that?

Johnny Manziel is a good football player. I'm not sure why you're characterizing him as "lucky." Sure, he was the likely beneficiary of luck at times, but no more so (or less) than any other QB.

Few would argue that.
We have a defense--it's just not our strength right now. Thankfully, Sumlin and staff are working to recruit top defenders.
Football isn't like basketball, where one or two players can transform the entire team.
It takes time to build a squad, ya know?
All teams--at some point--field young players. You gotta start somewhere.

We were.

Hell yes it is, we're saying "not next year, the year after that."

No way you really believe this right?

It's looking like you're correct.
It may very well be better.
