You're right, of course. People need scapegoats, though. That's really what this comes down to.

All the "culture" stuff that's getting lambasted today in the aftermath of pedestrian seasons and epic meltdowns was lauded back in 2012/2013 as an attitude change TAMU needed when we were kicking arse and taking names. Hell, look at the way folks evaluate Sumlin's demeanor--he's always been brusque with the press. When he's winning, people treat him like Gregg Popovich. When he's losing, they blame that attitude as part of the problem.

I'm not a scapegoat type of fan. It's all about results. He overachiever early on with Manziel, then gave it all back with his foibles the past few years. IDGAF about music at practices, about swag on the sidelines, about demeanor in interviews, or hashtags on Twitter. All of that stuff is superfluous.

If you can produce, great. If not, bye. Cut the bullshite.
