re: Jimbo can’t coach

You think a 4 or 5 star recruit with options isn’t having second thoughts after he sees his future coach shite the bed in the last quarter after the team fought for him despite his mistakes, then turn around and not accept complete and total responsibility in the presser has no impact?!?!? Tf is wrong with y’all?!

Actually it is you that has no perspective. The loss sucked, badly. Very winnable game and plenty to point fingers at. In the end though you need to understand we are playing in a league and at a level where you either make the Playoff or you don't. If you aren't in the Playoff then it is a matter of how likely you are to make the Playoff the next year.

We have talent. We have played in a NY6 and won. Our coaching staff is stable. We have elite facilities. On and on. It's just a matter of winning the big stuff or not. Going 9-3 vs 8-4 and going to the Outback vs the Citrus is a blip in the big picture even if it stings badly today.

It also helps that several of our main competitors are a disaster right now. LSU has no coach and just finished a 2nd straight .500 season with current players and recruits bailing. OU just had Lincoln screw them over to leave for USC. Texas is a complete dumpster fire. Sure, Georgia and Bama are solid but they can only take so many and many of the kids left are not going that direction.

I realize spending a lot of time on tRant can make you start to believe the crap LSU fans sometimes say about A&M as well as other schools. It's easy to get caught up in the negativity.

Doesn't mean we don't have issues. It just means perspective is important and going into full scale panic is stupid. Fundamentally we still have a lot to sell and Jimbo is a damn good coach. If it comes to replacing him at some point we have the resources to do it but that still is very unlikely. Panic moves are how you destroy a program, just look at what happened to Texas after they got rid of Mack, they are still lost in the abyss.
