Hate to say it but Mond was not responsible for all of the 52 points given up yesterday.

318 yds 3-1 TD/int ratio. Not amazing by today’s standards but solid.


Actually, it's a 3-3 TD to Turnover ratio. He lost 2 fumbles against Vanderbilt.

Year 3 and no significant improvement over Sumlin’s Aggies.


Sumlin without Manziel went 3-5, 4-4, 4-4 and 4-4 in SEC play.

Fisher has gone 5-3, 4-4 and 1-1 in SEC play so far.

With Kellen Mond, Sumlin went 3-2 in SEC play.

Haynes King will use the talent around him. Don’t you worry.

Outside of Elko, Jimbo hasn't made great hires on his staff. Whether due to QB or scheme, his offense has seemed unable or unwilling to get vertical and force teams to cover deep allowing them to load up and stop the run game. He has not effectively recruited/retained players at the running back position in years when the talent level at RB in Texas has been high. Overall, Texas high school football is soft and it shows in the teams it feeds with talent.

It's still too early to deem him a failure. Right now he would be beating the pants off a cupcake schedule ramping up to a difficult last 1/4 of the season if it wasn't for Covid.

Also, any arguments that include his contract are dumb. If he was paid 5m a year, expectations would be the same and he would still be underachieving.

Even arbitrarily taking out 2 seasons .... this is supposed to be evidence Fisher is much better than Sumlin? Those numbers are more alike than not.

Forget what fans say, look at the evidence there is no significant progress. A&M can’t even compete vs the top tier.

You mean taking out the seasons with Manziel?

Sumlin has a losing career record overall without Manziel or Keenum.

Team's issues seem to be more than just QB play. A&M has been a soft team for quite some time now. It looked like elko was changing that but they're still soft.

Your QB ran for 1,000 yards against LSU last year and you still lost by 3 TDs. Shut the frick up, runt.

If bashing a guy long gone makes you feel better about A&M being every bit as mediocre as before go ahead Bro.

Pro-tip: Don't pay for goods (hardware) and services (elite player development and coaching) before its delivered.

Guess they don't teach that in the oil business.

His wife (now ex-wife) accused the entire alumni base of being racist when we criticized him after the UCLA game. Even after it was proven that a t-sip sent the racist letter they still haven't recanted.

Also I have no doubt that Sumlin tried to coach Santino Marchiol to make up allegations to get immediately eligible at Arizona, only to have to kick him out when video proof of Marchiol's racism came out.

Yes, liars attempting to draw attention from their own failures by playing the race card.

Notice how it wasn't played by the Sumlins until after the UCLA game.

Mond went a bit further in that he deeply offended and insulted many of the donors, then called them racist for disagreeing with him.

Michael Young, the leftist piece of shite currently occupying the A&M President's office, supported and encouraged Mond's actions and told Bjork and the AD to provide resources for it.

May 31st is not soon enough for him to be gone.

For Mond? I assumed he’d stick around for another year? He can’t expect to be drafted at this point, right?

Politics - racial issues is a different conversation. So is character.

Football wise Fisher isn’t doing much better. 3rd season in a not total rebuilding project with plenty of budget to hire a good staff is plenty of time to make a move. It isn’t happening

No, for Michael Young.

If he is on the roster next season, over half the team will quit.

No. You are incorrect in what I am doing. You seem very interested in this topic.
