Maybe Urban realizes that Texas Boosters run the show down there, as Sark is finding out. He was all set to hire Mike Stoops as LB coach until the boosters nixed it.
He also wanted Muschamp as DC but the boosters blocked that as well.

UT hired Sark to compete with OU. A&M is just an afterthought to them.

Then its pretty sad that they own you head to head and have four national championships since you last won one.
Not sure what that says about Aggie.

How many championships has Fisher won at A&M ?

Agreed that Fisher has really coached up the talent. All of the coaches on our staff know how to "coach" as well as recruit, and it really shows. That entire OL with the exception of the younger player were 3* recruits that just worked hard. Their replacements have more talent, but not the experience
As much as we at A&M love to promote King, he is still unproven. What is not is the RB's - Spiller/Achane will be a pain for SEC defenses next year. And we have talent at WR, just need to see if they have the want to block and do all the other things that make a WR successful. Like little old 3* Anias Smith
I wasn't joking when I said Fisher was ahead of schedule. Those T10 recruiting classes are just now starting to becomee upperclassmen. The underclassmen are just as talented, so now we can begin to compete on an even talent level. Across the board, not just with the occasional superstar like Garrett or JFF.
I apparently thought more of Sumlin's recruits than most aggies. I didn't think the cupboard was bare when Jimbo got there. However, the football culture sucked to high heaven and it has also been as much about that as anything. It takes time to learn to win and this conference is merciless and makes you earn everything. If Jimbo doesn't feel he has the next man at QB, you will see the transfer portal heat up this offseason. That position is and always will be in his domain and level of expertise. That the big advantage that TAMU has.
Personally, I have no doubt, Jimbo can outcoach Kirby on his worst day.

A&M is not a blue blood team. The only way for A&M is the Clemson route - you have to win consistently for a number of years, and build the foundation. Force yourself into the discussion for not just one year, but multiple years.
And A&M is seeing the results. Last year, finished in the top four. This year, start of recruiting is off to a level we haven't seen yet under Fisher - and could be his best class. This will be the third class in a row that is consistently T5 talent in 2022. This will be Fisher's fourth year, and just now his recruits are getting to upperclassmen status.

Its odd that he didn't bring in a transfer to supplant Mond

Wait, I'm confused. According to 247 Sports, only your 2019 class was top 5.

A game manager is a great QB when you are building your talent level. What happens last year if A&M plays a different style? I'll tell you. The weakness in the secondary is exposed, and everything becomes a shootout
Mond was great at protecting the ball and milking the clock. Something A&M has needed for the past few years, while building an SEC-level defense
Around T5. A&M hasn't stacked classes like this in decades

Nope. It’s because Texas is losing. It has nothing to with the best Aggie year ever, but still no championship.
I know this ignorant wishcasting makes you feel better at night, but both of the schools can't help but look at each other. They are 90 miles from each other and boosters and donors frequent the same circles of Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, etc.
Relative strength in one team impacts in-state recruiting for the other for sure. Herman's 2021 class was shaping up to be barely top 20 and 2022 was looking abysmal.
All that being said, Herman got bounced partly for not keeping up with in state programs but also for being an abrasive buffoon and a consistent 3 loss coach.

I know the whole SAT logic is hard for you but you can have periodic success and still be a toxic cesspool. The two are not mutually exclusive.

Lol Aggie fans think they are the shite after finishing second in the west. When Auburn and LSU get their shite together it will be hilarious

So how toxic of a cesspool is Aggie if they can't even have periodic success?

Jimbo prides himself on being the QB whisperer. He likes to recruit and develop, he's been pretty good back to LSU. Even when QB James Foster wanted to transfer out he allowed him to stick around the program until he found his landing spot. That was impressive. Jimbo was just loyal to Mond like with his QBs at FSU. I think he enjoyed coaching Mond up and probably squeezed all the juice out of that orange he could.

Sark is a better play-caller than Jimbo
Posted on 1/23/21 at 10:45 am to Pastor Mike
Sarkisian is a good OC. However, he is basically Riley without the program that Riley inherited. The defenses in the BDF have been chasing Riley for years, and are starting to figure him out as a result. Texas if smart would have hired a program builder like Campbell, or somebody like Mahlzahn that plays a different style that defenses in the BDF are not already prepared for. There was a truly fascinating take on this from some high school football coaches and analysts over on TexAgs not too long ago. Great football discussion
Also, Sark has failed dramatically as a HC that has to do more than run plays. And he is going into the pressure cooker of all pressure cookers at Texas. It will be interesting to see if he crashes and burns like he did at USC
