. the people coaching the home grown....


So it is all coaching? Of all the programs out there no one is coached well?... Ok so let's compare a longer period of time where all teams have gone at least through 4-5 coaches...How many NCs has the entire State of Texas won the last say 20-30 years? How does that compare to States like Florida, California, or even smaller States like Alabama or even Louisiana?

I don't know the numbers but I'm sure they aren't good for Texas as a whole in comparison. It's a myth that Texas players are any better on average than other places. So even the “it” school in that State (UT) isn’t guaranteed sustained success.

Since WWII, the state of Texas has 4 CFB national titles - all from the Longhorns. Still, Texas only has 1 in the last 45 years (with a couple of very close calls in the mix). Both Texas and A&M have suffered from misguided university leadership trusting the wrong people to run athletics & football. The problem starts at the top. A&M, with its overtly racist and violently homoerotic sadistic traditions, has more issues to overcome, which explains why their only title comes from before the modern era of football began.
