Maybe it's just me but with all of the resources available to the schools in Texas, they sure don't seem to win as much as they should. Texas caught lightning in a bottle with Vince Young and a title back in the 70's is all I can remember for the entire state in my lifetime.
Jimbo Fisher getting fired today
- Thread starter ukjenning44
- Start date
Vince Young might not have even been born in the 70s, but I get what you're saying. I thinknit was the 90s maybe.
Vince Young was 2005. The only other title I can remember was another in the 70's that I'm too young to remember.
I cannot think of anything more Aggie than them giving Jimbo a National Championship plaque with a blank date when they hired him. 😂😂
Guess A&M doesn't accept mediocrity..... Good for them.
Better to "Love" and strike out, than to have never "loved" at all....
A&M isn't an elite program.
Who's gone into the west and taken over...usurped Bama, LSU, Auburn? In fact, who has come into the SEC and been "elite"?
Meyer, Saban, Kirby, Miles...that's it and they all did it at well-established elite programs not a mid-tier B12.
I would probably agree he's not elite tier but only about 5 guys are.
None of them are going to sniff A&M. They'll be lucky to get another Jimbo. Some dude who got hot in a weaker conference, had a nice offense, put some solid talent in the pros.
We already know who their list is because it's the same as everybody else's list. No elite coaches cause those guys have jobs they ain't leaving.
Elko, Norvell-Both caught a weak ACC, have pro QBs...sound familiar?
Lanning, DeBoer-Both will have better offers from more elite programs probably even some NFL sniffs. We'll see how they do in the B10 next year.
Lane Kiffin-He's got a great gig at Ole Miss without a lot of pressure/expectations. He's on the scene and nipping at the heels of the big dogs and probably just a top tier QB away from really making some noise. Aggies would be lateral at best.
Don't think this a a huge hurdle, meaning that kids want to be paid, and given a chance at getting to the league....
If the right staff is in place (NFL pedigree), and the $$ is there (A&M has plenty of that), then the kids will follow...
Look no further than our OC.... we just need other coaches around him <in ranked order>: Head coach & recruiting coordinator because everything starts at the top + recruits, then....
fill in the blanks with better coaches in whatever areas .. I would start with the OL and DL....
Go CATS!
Most of the UK fans on here have the same mindset.
If you can't get the top talent, you can't compete in the SEC.
Jimbo and T&AM have had 5-6 top 10 recruiting classes since he has been head coach.
The HC has to be as talented ( in coaching) as his players.
It doesn't matter how many star players you recruit if you can't manage a program and coach them up on Saturday.
Jimbo is very limited. Trying to be nice.
The A&M AD said it best. If your program is not moving forward, YOU ARE STUCK!!! And, changes have to be made to get you unstuck....
Are we moving forward??

Yeah I'd agree they're stuck...right behind LSU, Auburn, Bama. Well established historically dominant winning programs with hardware. Throw in Kiffin who isn't going anywhere, he's on a solid 9-10 wins a season track with Ole Miss.
I'd say maybe 2 coaches could come in and sniff the type of success those fans and brass think they are entitled too...Bob Stoops and Urban Meyer. Stoops will never consider them they were beneath him in the B12 they're beneath him now, Urban might.
Again...who are the aggies?...they had one conference title in the B12. If they have Championship fever, then they may want to consider changing conferences. Go to the PAC try their luck against Stanford, Utah, and Arizona St. Maybe go back to the B12 now that horns and sooners are gone.
I'd say maybe booth or Saban "Analyst"...then HC again somewhere PAC 12 or ACC.
