What does any of that have to do with Jimbo and A&M.
Seems you are deflecting from the Texas poster's valid points.
I'm pretty sure your definition of deflecting has something to do with forgetting all about how personal it can get when history keeps repeating itself at your house.
This dude's football program has been the armpit of college football since they ran Mack off. Glass houses and rocks don't mix. Learn it.

I won't deny the armpit part - it's hands down been the worst decade in the history of the program. And if you didn't think it'd be the same, or maybe worse if we kept Mack, I don't know what to tell you. The guy had clearly made the program stale. We're hoping Sark can change that.
It's also been the best decade in the history of aggie football, and they basically accomplished no more than Texas did in the same time period

Wait, so you're saying a poster on a sports message board shouldn't discuss other programs if the program they're a fan of has issues?
That's legitimately one of the dumbest and most insecure things I've ever seen posted here.

What do you think TAMU is doing? They got a 75 million dollar investment in a guy that has more the winning pedigree as a HC than Sark at this point. Given that Jimbo has a 3-year head start on Sark they are a heck of a lot further down the playoff road with recruits and accomplishments. Texas is still very much in theory mode compared to College Station.
The problem the Cajuns are emotionally having is that they have been rejected too many times. Coach Saban was like going through a nasty divorce and they were still very much in love long after coach Saban found another. Then they were left at the altar with the almost hiring of Jimbo Fisher.
Now the Bayou boys got to watch both past lovers consummating their new relationship in public with their mortal enemies, ALABAMA and TAMU.

Dude can't stop talking about LSU and Texas in a topic about Aggie.
ETA:
At least get the facts right.

It should be noted that Bama’s 2008 & 2009 recruiting classes each finished ranked #1 overall in at least one major publication. The shitty rankings of Scout and ESPN are what bring the composite down to 3rd.
ETA: This post seems to be upsetting some folks. I was just pointing out the the two teams that won National Championships came from the two classes that ranked #1 overall.
I updated this post on the first page, because it seems that many missed the point. Also of interest - one of the companies that had Bama ranked lower than #1 is now out of business and had to be bought out of bankruptcy by 247Sports.

That team was statistically great and had NFL talent all over the field yet barely squeaked by an Auburn team who really had no business being there.
Auburn truly caught lightning in a bottle that season, two miracle fluke wins over Georgia and Alabama and a two touchdown loss to LSU yet Jimbo and Jeremy only beat them by 3 with a Heisman winning quarterback and a month to prepare.
The biggest point is, as talented and stacked with NFL players as that FSU team was, they held Auburn scoreless in the 3rd quarter, which was the difference in the game. That FSU team wouldn't hold any of the last three champions scoreless in any quarter because they all had overwhelming firepower. FSU wouldn't have been able to get back in the game.

Yep, just ask UGA.

Where were you in 2013?
Florida State's 2013 national championship-winning team was super freaking talented. Jameis Winston won the Heisman, the school set the record for most draft picks in a three-year window (29) and the NFL is now absolutely littered with players from the team.
Jeremy Pruitt was the DC and he would have given any team they played hell with Jalen Ramsey and company.

Sarkisian is a career .500 coach. Hell, Herman had a better record as head coach

Too bad there is a SEC team in the West, recruiting better then A&M.

Another interesting factoid is that team averaged something like 51 points per game but only 35 against the two SEC teams they played, 4-8 Florida and Auburn.
In fact, those were the two lowest scoring games they played all year.
Auburn's defense was something like 48th in opponents points per game that season.

How would the aggies know what it takes to win big?
Posted on 2/12/21 at 12:41 pm to ColoradoAg
Fisher was below .500 the season A&M hired him, and now he's the aggies' anointed savior after giving A&M their single greatest season since Hitler invaded Poland.
So I guess he's not the answer either?

Aggs didn't win it all in 2020, that was your year. It's downhill from there.
Posted on 2/12/21 at 12:53 pm to ForgetTheRest
In all the great research for this post were any of those teams dealing with the fact they were at best third in their division recruiting and fourth in conference. Plus those same teams in their conference are bringing in TOP 5 classes not top 10.
How many of those teams in your post were dealing with that situation?

Actually their are TWO teams from the west recruiting better than the aggies. Even one from the east.
