I think he is a great coach. I thought he was awesome when he was at Houston. I would be a little worried with the lack of a really strong running game in the SEC, but he makes up for alot of that with creativity. Just wanted to get the general pulse on the A&M fanbase thus far.

I know JFF has been able to run for a good chunk of yards but without a sound running game, good def. coordinators will scheme him much better in the upcoming years. Sumlin seems like the kind of guy who will be able to put him in good positions though.

Is this serious? Do you really need more than one guess to ask how they feel about him right now?

I think were pretty happy.....

except he has yet to win a MNC so were probably going to let him go after the year is over due to him not getting the team ready to play for a MNC.....

I know they are happy with him right now, I guess my question is, do they think he is the guy to get them a title? Spread offenses dont often do that great in the SEC. If they arent in sync on a given day, it could be trouble. They also dont allow much time for the defense to rest, its usually a quick score or more 3 and outs than usual. SEC is all about ball control and clock control.

You may want to check our rushing stats...

Even without JFF our RBs are averaging good YPC etc.

I don't see it so much as this or that not working in the SEC. If you have the personnel, good athletes, and the system is executed you'll do well. No matter whether it's a pro style offense, spread, etc.

You may want to check your upcoming attrition on the Oline. They wont be as good up front next year.

This is confusing. So which is it, next year or current? Your first post states we do not have a rushing game. I'm telling you we do. So you reference next year now? Okay.

I know they arent leaving. I want to know if they think he and his offense will lead them to a title or if they can put down the koolaid and realize that gimmick offenses dont work forever. They will have to find a guy like JFF every 3-4 years for this to work. See Auburn.
