2019 Expectation: Get to six wins. Go bowling, crank up the offense, and be more competitive. The schedule is easy enough to do just that.

2019 Expectation: Start to look the part. The SEC East title is a long way off, but knock off a big boy or two, and win eight games.
9. Scott Frost, Nebraska (4-8)
8. Herm Edwards, Arizona State (7-6)
7. Mario Cristobal, Oregon (9-5)
6. Billy Napier, Louisiana (7-7)
5. Chad Lunsford, Georgia Southern (10-3)
4. Joe Moorhead, Mississippi State (8-5)
quote:
2019 Expectation: More O, not quite as much D, and while this might not seem like a big deal, another eight-win season and a bowl appearance.
3. Josh Heupel, UCF (12-1)
2. Jimbo Fisher, Texas A&M (9-4)
quote:
2019 Expectation: Yeah, this season showed that really, really big things should be coming under Fisher. Winning the SEC West is a bit too ambitious, but double-digit wins has to be the goal.
1. Dan Mullen, Florida (10-3)
quote:
2019 Expectation: Win the SEC East title. It’s still Georgia’s division for the taking, but one victory in Jacksonville changes all of that. This might still be around the fourth-best team going in the conference right now, but now the pressure is on.

Hard to argue with Dan Mullen or Jimbo Fisher. I am a little surprised Pruitt wasn't a little higher. Tennessee just seemed to have a tougher attitude this year.

Had we not been blown out our last two games by Missouri and (sigh) Vanderbilt, Pruitt would have been top 5. I think 10th is a pretty generous ranking considering we ended the season on a sour note.
But, two Top 25 wins in one season is something we haven't done since I can remember.

Chad Morris
quote:Good hire. I think he will make UT similar to MsState the last few Mullen years. Competitive team in the 8-10 win range.
Jeremy Pruitt
quote:If you can’t win 10 games with the team he had, you’re beans.
Joe Lesshead
quote:Kevin Sumlin averaged 8.5 wins per season at Texas A&M. Jimbop got a $75M contract to win 9 games. Need I say more?
Jimbop Fishner
quote:Will challenge for the East every year. I’ll be surprised if he has many seasons with less than nine wins.

Jimbo wasn’t expected to win a shitload of games in his 1st season you little dimwit
Most of us predicted 8-5

Sumlin also never beat LSU. Jimbo did that in year one.

Moorhead underachieved for the talent he had.

I had 6-6 with an outside chance of 7-5.

I dont get including Jimbo and Mullen on the list...geez Jimbo is a Natl Champ coach going from one big time school to another. Huepel..Napier etc those are "new" guys

Not sur3 why you don’t believe it?
There’s an entire predictions thread.
I actually think I predicted 7-5.

And what are your expectations for next year?

I’d like to think 9-3.
But in reality, we’ll probably finish 8-4.
2020 has always been the turn-around year.

9-3 seems about as good as we can really think is possible. 8-4 seems like the most likely, but 7-5 wouldn't shock me either. 2020 is when 10+ becomes likely imo.

So. To be clear. If your prediction is correct and A&M goes 8-4... with a $7.5M per year contract.... Jimbop will be averaging 8.5 wins per season.

We’re in this for the long haul.
It’s about far more than W/L records after two seasons (playing with a previous cosch’s players).
And yes, Fisher is banking.
Time will tell how it works out.
