Eh, that is a different metric especially to Aggies. Programs make changes because fans get pissed off and quit filling the stadium. Fans are who matter.

Now without recruits you don't get wins, and without wins you piss off the fans. But not enough Aggies are plugged into recruiting to know Sumlin is getting his clock cleaned in recuiting this cycle. Fans are the lagging indicator but the important one.

Some people pay tens of thousands for tickets to go each year with a blank slate, and they judge based on what they see on the field. I can't TELL you how much more I know about our program just reading this forum daily than people in my family and their friends who spend way more in getting tickets than I get paid annually. We are a very hands off fan base compared to a lot (ahem Texas), but it is our opinion (or more exactly theirs if you are a me) that matters at this late in the game.

One example I think about: we melted when Sumlin couldn't or didn't fire Snyder after the Duke game JFF won despite the D, while these BMAs melted when we couldn't stop the run next season and it lead to 59-0. If we were firing Sumlin for what recruits think he would have been fired by now. What matters now is what Joe Grayhair thinks, and I think Joe needs to see at least 8 wins to keep cutting checks with how low oil is. Maybe 9.

Our biggest problem is we aren't used to big boy football yet, so we might go through a whole season of low attendance before pulling the trigger rather than cutting bait when a SEC hardened team would (aka before the suite renewals are sent out). We will get there eventually.

I think the point is not relevant though as we will get ten wins.
