re: A 7-5 program fired a 7-5 coach and hired a 7-5 coach

Nick Saban won 6-7 games each year at Mich St from 1996-1998. Went 10-2 in 1999.

Maybe aTm is just getting Elko a year early.

So what you’re saying is…

Hiring guys that are known as really good coordinators can be a great decision.

And learning lessons from the past, hiring someone who is the opposite as Fisher is what A&M should have done.

Ok, makes sense to me.

MurphyGator posted and I questioned him about his post. You decided to chime in with a pretty useless post and I made the mistake of addressing it. My mistake as you're continually one of the dimmer bulbs in this barely lit room.

None of these mouth breathers care to consider rational and reasonable points. Solid analysis on your part though. I agree.

This is it...poor aggy

The rich Aggie can buy whatever they want. Apparently a Jimbo retread DC is the man they targeted all along! Stoops was a smoke screen because they didn’t want anyone to come in and scoop up Elmo. Not only are they rich, they’re also really smart. I understand though. They’re trying to rekindle that Jimbo magic.

Yeah, you’d probably not want to try to defend your logic there…

Okay, dipshit. I'll "defend" your statement that you decided to chime in when I'm asking MurphyGator who OU should have hired.

Whether or not a coordinator works out as a head coach is largely a crapshoot. OU has a history of hiring coordinators, so MurphyGator acting like OU isn't a great job because they couldn't hire a bigger name than one of the most successful DCs in recent college history made no sense.

Your simpleton statements like "most teams hire great coordinators or HC from lower divisions" is as common sense. You've added nothing by sticking your nose into my question to MurphyGator. It'd be like me wandering by while you and another dumbfrick are arguing whether you should have a Coke or Bud Light and I said "you know, they are both liquids." True, but not at all the point and adds nothing.

An up and coming coordinator is a better hire than a retread washed up Jimbo Fisher. All aggy cared about was "muh sitting natty coach from FSU" and failed actually look at his FSU tenure.

Now, if you want to attempt to the actual discussion I was trying to have, you can substitute in for MurphyGator and adopt his position: OU isn't a great job because they hired Venables, who is not a splash hire.

Then you can respond to my question: If one the most successful DCs in recent college history isn't a "splash hire", who should OU have hired?

Or, you can back to popping into discussions with irrelevant comments.

OU should have hired Venables. Not a splash hire, but a solid choice.

A&M hiring Jimbo was the splash hire, and it didn’t work out. So A&M course corrected with a solid choice also.

I guess they’re trying to rekindle that Jimbo magic by hiring his DC. Lol

Keeping Bjork as AD screwed the coaching search from the get go.

Elko is sloppy thirds and any coach worth his salt will use that fact during recruiting.

If the fiasco with Stoops is any indication A&M has bigger problems than who the HC is. It looks to me like your AD is a cuck and the big money boosters are running the program.

Watching the announcement that Jimbo was fired made it obvious to me that Bjork took absolutely no responsibility for the contract extension and terms of that contract.

With Bjork remaining as AD, Aggie land will suffer yet another stretch of bad road.
