Josh Pate On Jimbo Fisher Being Fired By Texas A&M (Late Kick Cut) 

Josh are you Texan ? A&M has always been the red headed step kid, the "awe isn't he special" baby with issues. Jimbo had one good year with a Jamis Winston on his resume. The very was he treated FSU should've been a huge Red flag.

I’m just curious how Josh would rank the top 25 coaching jobs in CFB. I mean (heaven forbid) if all the Power5 head coaches were at a convention and the roof caved in, what would be the top 25 programs in the pecking order to fill vacancies.

The good news for am fans is that the search has concluded. It has been confirmed and the announcement is eminent. The new coach will bring national championship experience from Texas. Also SEC stops in Florida South Carolina Auburn Alabama Georgia and others. Yes coach BOOM MUSCHAMP will be the 12th man and new skipper to lead your program. Ready or not here comes the BOOM. Here comes the BOOM.

I don’t think he even tried honestly. That was his retire early plan.

It's Jimbo's strategy

I don’t miss those days lol this is exactly how he was at fsu but hey we didn’t have to fire him and owe him money so thanks

It’s really telling that when Jimbo took the atm job he didn’t bring any of the assistant coaches with him yet he wouldn’t fire the incompetent assistant coaches

@@Welldunnplease share the names of any one of those incompetent assistants he retained from Sumlin’s staff.

@@jamesbeaman6337 it is very telling if you leave FSU and don’t bring any assistant coach with you to atm. The same group of assistants that needed to have at least a few fired yet he would not and lobbied for more money for those same assistants. I was not talking about Summlin’s staff

As an A&M fan I can say a lot of things FSU said I thought were bitter but turned out to be true. Jimbos offense was becoming too predictable. Jimbo struggled to have a good offensive line or offensive line coach. Jameis Winston was a once a decade type talent you see in College Football and he made Jimbo a massive amount of money.

I’m an Aggie and I said that he’d be a waste of money and have the same results as Sumlin. I was told to shut up and I didn’t know what I was talking about. Now we are going to waste $76mil. Shameful. That could fund a huge endowment that would pay for hundreds of students to go to school every year. Instead it is wasted.

​@@Mott2y'all didn't get the same guy we got. Jimbo was a really good coach from 2010-2014. He came in and immediately turned our program around. Recruited at an elite level right now from the jump. He's the one who built that roster that won 29 games in a row from 2012-2014. It wasn't just Jameis. That 2013 was one of the best CF teams ever. That is often overlooked in this conversation about Jimbo. That team was absolutely stacked from top to bottom. No weakness. Every single starter on that team on both sides of the ball went pro. Go look up those names. Anyway, just want to point that out. That not only did he recruit a monster roster. But he was a good coach back then. But starting in 2015 things started to go off the rails. At the time you couldn't see it. Now in hindsight it's so clear. 2015-2016 Dalvin Cook won us a BUNCH of games that we really would have lost if it wasn't for that one guy. He bailed us out over and over I remember. Made Jimbo look alot better than he really was. And then 2017 everything just went completely off. That's the year Francois got hurt in the opener and the season just went to shit. And that's the year Jimbo left us high and dry. Quit recruiting early on that season. It's like he mentally checked out and didn't care. And for that I always despised Jimbo. He didn't have to do his like that. Set us up on a bad trajectory that took half a decade to crawl out of. But...I will always thank Jimbo for what he did when he started here. If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have come back to prominence. He made us elite again. Gave us a national championship. I will forever be grateful. It's amazing how things have turned out. But again...A&M never got that coach that we got. The real good Jimbo. By the time he got to A&M his best years were well behind him

@@Mott2 during Jimbo's final years at FSU, his recruiting on the O-Line was so horrible that we were converting D-Linemen to play O-Line.

The fans didn't hire him, Jenny. I assumed you knew that?

They also had a pretty big win over Florida in the 2020-21 season. Florida lost to national champ Bama by 4 points that season in the SEC ship game. Crazy that AnM has been able to win some big games but lose to FCS schools lol

Beating Alabama is awesome but, it's also a mirage. Johnny " the punk " Manziel is still making a living off his Alabama win.😂😂😂

@@djLagwayEnjoyer UF isn't a big win. LMFAO! UF was 8-4. TAMU is a poverty program.

@@encycl07pedia- you’re a clown. UF was 8-2 going into the sec ship game that season with the #1 OFFENSE in the country. They lost to TAMU on a last second field goal and also lost to LSU on another last second field goal after they had already won the game due to a player throwing a shoe after stopping them to end the game. Realistically UF should have been 9-1 going into play bama that season. Clearly it was a big win that year, Florida finished the regular season ranked in the top 10. Do you not watch college football?

@@djLagwayEnjoyer That 2020 UF squad was really the only team that threatened the 2020 Bama team. 2020 Bama destroyed everyone.

Agree. The Aggie $15 billion endowment can skew your thinking.

I bet Fisher's exit interview wasn't as entertaining as Coach O''s

I agree. The only thing Jimbo had done well at A&M when they "doubled down" on his contract was recruit. He hadn't proved he was any better than Sumlin at that point. Bjork panicked because of what was going on at LSU and Texas.

The thing is, he also pulled buzz Williams and Jim schlossnagle for basketball and baseball respectively. Both coaches are doing amazing things with the sport so you can make an argument that those hires are saving him right now.

If you think Ross Bjork was really responsible for the extension, then you're deluded. John Sharp and the donors pushed for the extension because they all have an inferiority complex. If someone wanted to come in and pay Fisher more they should have let that happen. With that being said, Bjork is safe at this moment. Once the new coach is hired, he most likely still gets fired.

If Jimbo does coaches again he is padding his pockets. He is relatively young and his buyout does not change if he gets another coaching job. He will coach again if he gets a call.

That's why you aren't an elite coach.

​@@jimmearsNeither is Jimbo.

Texas A&M gave Jimbo Fisher a fat contract as if he were another Nick Saban, and he most certainly is not! @@Legendary_UA

Bro said Jimbo is "Young"

Notre Dame has a great young dynamic young coach. If people like you get off his ass you will be in playoffs in the next few years. You've got to get a big time quarterback and stockpile the dudes. Freeman's z's and O's as good as any. Kelly left average talent. Kelly is very average no matter where he's at. Notre Dame is a small school in Indiana. You don't have a conference. You've very average. Don't forget who you are. There is absolutely no sport that Notre Dame will will win a championship in anytime soon. Ranked woman's basketball routes by number 6 South Carolina. Baseball and football coaches poached by sec and acc and their average coaches that won't win championships. Wake Forest Duke army Navy Harvard and Yale used to be powerhouses. Notre Dame does good to be top 25. Reality.

@@wordnerd2005 Dude, you're missing my point. Notre Dame became a household name precisely _because_ everyone thought they were "average" and could never win a championship. Then they did. Then they did it again. Then several more times. They accomplished this because Notre Dame had both elite talent and elite coaching multiple times in its history which is why they're _still_ one of the most successful programs in college football history, even now after 30 years of mediocrity. Sure, the sport has changed even since the 90's. But my point is that while offensive fads and creative schemes come and go, solid, fundamental coaching and elite talent still wins football games. A&M has elite talent and top-notch facilities; they're just missing an elite coach to make them a perennial top 3 team. And if I know the Aggies, they'll keep shoveling money until they find one. I respect that. Finally, while I like Freeman and think he's a good man, he's simply not an elite coach, nor is he recruiting at the level we need to win it all.

Notre Dame does NOT have top notch facilities.. the stadium is a decrepit dump

You’re crazy. Notre Dame has higher hurdles due to academic requirements. “Deemphasizing football” included shallowing the pool ND could recruit from. Also ND attempted to maintain independence in the era of conference consolidation. They have struggled to establish a football identity in the modern landscape. They’re like a weird hobo nomad that the ACC likes to beat.

@@Zapp__Branniganyou and the guy who runs this channel are totally missing the elephant in the room which is conference affiliation. If you want to analyze an analogue to A&M, look no further than their former conference mate, Nebraska. The only variables they do not share are rich recruiting grounds (A&M) and a historically rich record of success (Nebraska). IMO these two programs are mirror image victims of conference realignment. Their potential is not stunted by their individual characteristics like fan support or money, it’s by their conference affiliation. Whether pundits and fans want to admit it or not, the birth of these super conferences that have resulted in monstrosities like the SEC and Big 10 will necessarily destroy the prospects and upward mobility of programs like Nebraska and A&M who were once in the heart of their conferences but are now step children on the geographic fringes of their new homes which orbit historical rivalries and dominant programs in their native heartland. In fact, when A&M took the SEC invite and left the B12, one of the supposed advantages was “stepping out of the shadow of Texas”. Lol! Nebraska in the B10 became a fish out of water. It lost its ability to pull recruits out of its traditional territory west of the Mississippi and mistakenly assumed it was entitled to 10 win seasons at worst every year leading to a coaching carousel that has had the program circling the drain for nearly a decade. They haven’t been to a bowl since 2016. They’ve sold out every game since the 1960s. So how does this happen? We’re seeing the same entitled pathology at A&M. There were generations of fans, and the recruits they produce, who grew up on B12 football, watching rivalries year after year that kept people regionally energized and talking whether at the water cooler or over thanksgiving dinner. The history and tradition is the forgotten dynamo creating cohesion and chronology, it has been irreparably harmed and in many instances destroyed (rose bowl) by the shifting CFB landscape that seemingly considers nothing but more money. I don’t understand why more people don’t understand or recognize this.

He is telling the truth.

That's the genius of Jimbo!

Texas A&M also had Jackie Sherrill, who cheated and got caught, to help the Aggies win games during his tenure. His successor, R.C. Slocum was a good and apparently honest coach, unlike Sherrill, but A&M later fired him for lack of enough wins.

@@BigDave131 Don't EVEN act like every darn team wasn't cheating at the time. Some just lacked the "shine" for NCAA not to touch them

Historically, the Aggies weren't a huge school in terms of enrollment or resources. For a long time, Kyle field was a dump, and they could rarely win the SWC most years, which was just them, Texas, and cupcake private schools that didn't care about football.

@@kaminsod4077 Prior to the 70s the "cupcakes" could also regularly win. At one point even Rice was consistently a good team. A good chunk of its history A&M was essentially VMI or Citidel with an all male all military student body in the middle of nowhere, which makes it funny that the horns thump their chest at the "all time" series record.

Whoever the next guy is will be fired within 5 years

Jimbo had a worse record than Sumlin, that stat alone feels crazy to me

Word is Deion Sanders is going to be the next A&M coach............. The 12th Man is PRIMETIME baby!!!......;)

Guaranteed unless they are in the national title game or win the natty. They are gone@@tider77

Mike Elko _might_ be good

Part of me wonders if Woodward acted like he was interested in Jimbo just to make A&M overcommit to him knowing in reality he never had any intention of hiring him... Lmao.

@@AnthonyJ504the ultimate big brain move. Reminds me of when the Celtics said they were interested in taking Fultz with the #1 overall pick just to get the sixers to trade away their entire future just for the Celtics to take Tatum at 3rd and said “we were always drafting Jayson Tatum, regardless of if we traded the 3rd pick or not”

I really hope you're not a Longhorn fan being this delusional and scared.

⁠@@davebryant8050Carson beck hasn’t even had a bad game this year he’s a better QB than Milroe

This nails it on the head.

@sc100ott...this sort of thinking either requires tons of mental gymnastics or totally ignoring aggy history, and that includes past "big splash" coaching hires. Jackie Sherrill? Stealing Francione from Bama? Mike Sherman? All total homeruns and the leader needed to build an aggy dynasty according to fans. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. Money, facilities, fan support, recruiting and coaching aren't the issue. So what is it?

Josh..I challenge you to go back a bit further than Sumlin and Jimbo when looking at their coaches. Look at that list of names and then compare what they were able to do at A&M vs what they accomplished at another school...in some cases AFTER they left A&M lol. After you do that then think about your little rant at the end and how poorly it will likely age. Vegas seems to often know things the rest of us don't. I wonder how they would rate the chance of success no matter who A&M hires...unless they just go totally insanely desperate and throw a half billion dollar 100% guaranteed contract at Kirby Smart, Ryan Day, some successful NFL coach or even Saban assuming he wants to coach well into his 80's? Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. aggy has a long history of desperate coaching hires including hiring Emory Ballard (not as HC) away from Texas and Darrel Royal because he was the co-architect of the Wishbone offense, and then many other "big time" head coaching hires throughout the years. (The most successful of which got A&M banned from TV and bowls because of recruiting violations😂)

I can’t disagree with Josh Pate. Texas A&M has everything in place to be a dominant program. However if you have the wrong coach you won’t win. Simple as that

Oh wow wishful thinking 😂

So what’s stopped them since 1939 then?

@@jenifersantinolewell they haven’t invested like this before so it’s a ridiculous comparison

@@colepriceguitar1153 of course just paid Jimbo who fsu fans tried to tell you was washed 90 million and gave a plaque for the unlimited championships you would win. Highest NIL best facilities and still mid

@@jenifersantinole that just means they made a bad coaching decision. Your acting like it’s impossible for a coach to make it happen there when in reality there is not a job better in the country.

Word is they going for Neon Deion...... The 12th man is PRIMETIME baby!!....;)

​@@CETGaleThat will never happen.

They just gave the last coach six years to win. That's hardly a "step in and win immediately". Yes, they wanted to see incremental improvement. But not "win immediately".

The issue is Josh seems to act like most fans only look at oh they haven't won titles so the program must be trash. Far from it. In reality I look at the fact that they can't win 10 games at all and can't use their high amount of 5 stars correctly and they inevitably transfer.

A&M will hire Deion Sanders as the next HC..... Its going to be PRIMETIME!!.......;

@@Denozo88 lol what? That’s a Jimbo fisher issue not a Texas A&M issue

@@User_32 Am has cronic issue as Sumlin had the same issue. He had some highly ranked classes and got 8-4 out of them. So wrong.

@@Denozo88 Sumlin had one Top 5 class in 6 cycles. All the rest were 10th or lower. I'm an Aggie and I'll tell you we have NEVER recruited like we did under Jimbo before. Ever. We have always been a fringe Top 10-top 20 recruiting school since they invented the ranking system for HS athletes. Jimbo raised the bar for landing perennial Top 5/10 classes in College Station. The problem was/is he forgot how to develop and made poor decisions with assistant hirings, offensive scheme staleness, underperforming upperclassmen promised starting jobs, not utilizing the portal effectively, etc. In short, college football changed, and he couldn't adapt. Or maybe he wasn't that great to begin with and was only ever an elite recruiter, idk.

As someone that lives in Texas I'll say UT and ATM both have top tier resources but...everything is almost controlled by the boosters that always make the wrong choices. They have been under performing for awhile now. NIL could change things. We'll see

Yes, but the culture there at A&M is really weird man, REALLY!

@@jimmears oh it is BEYOND weird lmaooo also true

The MSU opening is not a great landing spot lol. Starting next year, they will get smoked by Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, USC, UCLA, Washington, Oregon whenever they play them. They can only hope to be competitive in the middle of the pack of the Big Ten and maybe get an upset over one of the actual programs.

I want Lance lipold who else do you think is a great candidate.

Texas A&M's culture probably prevents some otherwise competent coaches from wanting to coach there. Yes, the fans rabidly support the team for the most part, but they have some strange traditions that are like a religion to them.

@@BigDave131how in the world are strange traditions going to outweigh the opportunity that is there?

It is not an issue. We just suck at hiring.

josh just has A&M's meat so far down his throat that he refuses to see the problems with a&m

Obviously, you don’t know the meaning of ‘low, hanging fruit’

Early national signing day is why they had to cut ties before the season ended

Idk im not an A&M Fan but probably so 😂..Honestly it’s going to depend who they have lined up to replace him. Also it’s going to also depend what the expectations are and it seems like it’s to compete for championships which is going to be really hard in the SEC with Saban/Smart. They are going to want to bring in someone who can compete with both and IDK who that would even be.

yep that's pretty much my thoughts. Most of the games we lost this season were by less than a touchdown, I think some of our fans need to get real about what it means to compete in the SEC. Shit happens. I understand the frustration but Jimbo has been recruiting like a madman, that's what it takes to win in this conference. Im not optimistic about the short-term future of Aggie football. @@brookico

When you lose close games for one season ok. When it’s for 6 seasons cmon. Time to try someone new.

Well, I tell you what, I will believe it when I see it. Haven't ever seen it yet. As I won't be surprised to see A&M hire another dud as a new head coach.

Word is they going to throw allot of $$$$ at Deion Sanders..... Its going to be Prime Time in Texas......;)

I hope to god not. Right now Colorado lets deion be deion. Aint no way A&M lets deion be deion unless there is an offensive mastermind that makes all the moves. (Yeah i know your comment was sarcasm but still)@@CETGale

@@BHTSGOHARD I bet he would leave the WOKE left coast if they offered him enough $$

@@CETGale the no income tax is a deal breaker for most Coaches plus the Talent in the state of Texas.. I’m sure Lanning is thinking about all of this right now.

@@CETGalewhat a 🤡

Shula 26-23 in 4 seasons

Same w Kirby

Fran was there too… lol.

How AD Bjork is still employed after making that dumb contract extension to Fisher is baffling.

@@BigDave131 the contract extension made sense at the time, and that's what people don't realize. We signed that extension after Texas A&M finished the 2020 season 9-1, with the only loss being to Alabama, with that 2020 team being considered one of the greatest teams ever, and while yes it was a blowout that was the same score as the national championship, which demonstrates that we were playing to the level of the best teams in the nation. The decision made sense at the time. Bjork is also still here because he hired Schlossnagel, Joni, and I think he hired Buzz as well

With Brian Ferentz running the offense, top contenders every year if this happens

Unfortunately, that is probably true!!! Coach Prime can be tempted away from Colorado!!! Just put some money on the table.

@@veryoldjohnson Naw he is just about to pick the Texas A&M player and bring them to Colorado. He not leaving...lol

@@michaelbrooks241 : You think? I tried to give him a heads up on some big uglies in the Metroplex, but I think he passed. Player recruiting is going to be extremely intense!!!

he did inherit a decent amount from Bobby Bowden in 2010 and there is a credible argument that after the Bowden legacy in recruiting expired post 2013, it allowed for the rapid rise of Clemson. He did a good job at FSU not messing it up when he inherited it but both arguments can be made that he built FSU into its championship in 2013 versus he inherited a championship recruiting class in 2010 and simply did enough to win a championship. From 2010- 2014, FSU was competing for a conference title. In those years, especially from 2010-2012, he was using 90% Bowden recruits. From 2013- 2014, he was using at least 50% Bowden recruits. After 2014, FSU stopped competing for conference titles under Jimbo, and Clemson coincidentally started to rule the ACC. After 2014 is when the team was made up of Jimbo recruits. The talent he had in the early FSU years were naturally gifted and he just did enough to not mess things up. Plain and simple. It was that clear for everyone to see.

Jimbo has always been a stubborn man. He didn’t get along as well with Saban as most of his other assistance mostly because Jimbo was so stubborn and wanted to do things his own way, that don’t work when you’re on Nick Sabans staff. He doesn’t seem to be willing to adapt to the way the game has changed, and it has changed fairly significantly since 2013, and it’s more evident every season. He also hasn’t had the benefit of an elite first round type quarterback and he doesn’t run the type of system that can win 10 games with a merely serviceable game managing quarterback.

12 class was Bobby's class

Jamies made fsu great not jimbo. That's why he hasn't won ever since

Now the reunion game is going to be an Sark established vs a year 1 coach and anything he can muster until he can mold Texas A&M future.

They dont think about Texas

@@Jdashescodotcom they left the Big 12 because of Texas 🙄

Well it didn’t play a part

@@runyunhyde4373Do you really know the history of why the big 12 lost Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, and Texas A&M?

Same here. I correctly predicted that Jimbo Fisher would be fired because he wouldn't deliver a national title to Texas A&M.

I would be smiling from ear to ear if I were Jimbo Fisher. Not fun to get fired, and usually a blow to one's self esteem, but $77 million could ease the pain of being fired big time.

You don’t need elite coach win a ship look at coach O he did @ LSU I don’t know what it is but it isn’t all coaching 🤷🏾‍♂️

Word is they are looking to hire Deion Sanders.............

​@@CETGalethere's gonna be a lot of rumors on who's gonna hire deion. But anyone with half a brain would give deion another year at Colorado. Yeah he's in a serious rebuild and trying to do well. But give him 2 years to see if he's really got it.

😂

Jimmy should be fired at a minimum

As much as I hate Michigan, Harbough shouldn’t have been suspended. Every team does stuff like this, but Michigan just got caught. Just like back in the day with SMU and their recruiting money. Everyone was doing it back in the day SMU just happened to be the ones who got caught.

Bring on Harbaugh. I could see him having dinner with miss rev mam and really buying into the A&M culture lol

I heard Primetime Neon Deion Sanders is going to be the next A&M coach.....................;) Do you believe??

Why you lying 😂 all those Texas rejects go to A&M..

I went to UT for a year then transferred cause A&M has a better Forensic program than UT. Each school is great for certain majors.

After the news hit half the team is hitting the portal… its gonna take at least three years to build back up to 7-8 win seasons. Go aggies 😔

Dude respect to tamu but college station is a dump. I get that its a way better school but id rather go to ole miss just cuz oxford is nicer. College station is the worst sec town ive ever been to

I went to UT my freshman year just so my family could say their 3 kids all went to UT. My sisters transferred out as my oldest sister transferred to Michigan for law school & my 2nd oldest sister transferred to Michigan for medical school. I didn’t like it as a lot of kids there were super judgmental or acted super fckn entitled.

Deboer was on the list too, why in the hell would either of them leave where their headed with successful programs to that? Ridiculous.

Oregon is nowhere near championship level. Only put up 36 points to the 124th ranked defense in USC and gave up 3 TD’s rushing to a Air Raid offense? Not to mention he lost to Washington which lit up his defense. With the Talent just in the state of Texas Lannings best shot at wining a championship would be at Texas A&M. At Oregon Lanning has to compete with Washington & USC for the best players in the region.

That's actually quite common. I've spoken with many ex Georgia bulldogs. Going Through all the coaches , there's a player who says they never saw Dooley, except a few times a week then on game day...same for all the coaches except Kirby

How do you fire billionaire donors?

There’s no way they’re signing a long term deal, that’s what made Jimbo so hard to fire, this is a 100 million dollar blunder when looking at the rest of the staff & then god knows how much when counting the recruiting value they will lose, they spent so much money recruiting the #1 class ever

And the new coach will want to jump in as soon as possible to build up a damn to try and stop the mass exodus of players getting ready to leave. I think they already know who they want, and now they have to dot the T's and cross the I's to finish. Shit. Bad thought. Bring in Urban Meyer and keep Petrino, and then hire Aranda once he's fired to reconstruct the defense. Ready to serve and eat national championship.

I wouldn't be surprised to see A&M act quickly on hiring their next coach to prevent losing as many transfers as they can. If they wait until the playoff is over, they might be screwed.

@@trclark7689 Yeah. That’s a really good point. If I’m A&M, I wouldn’t want to lose many players to the portal.

We will still lose commitments and transfers cause A, some kids committed because they wanted to play for jimbo, and B, A&M had a lackluster season which will always affect recruiting. But if A&M hires the right guy then that may not affect recruiting as much as it would’ve.

​@@carsonjl2539 You do if you want to win a championship.

@@carsonjl2539 you should lol..

No

Neon Deon Sanders will be the 12th man........... AFLAC...............;)

They are gonna need more than Elko if they want to be able to compete for championships. Not sure who is going to be able to compete with Saban/Smart not to mention Kiffin/Drinkwitz, Heupel, Kelly etc. and next year Sark. but the ONLY one that comes to mind that had success in the SEC winning natties is Urban Meyer. Idk if he would even want to coach again or if he could have the same success since CFB has changed so much since he left but at least he’s proven.

@@brookico Mike Elko already knows how to maneuver at A&M, was a great dc, has done a great job at Duke and the players he coached and helped recruit are upper classmen now. He would be the easiest transition and keep Petrino calling the o. A good blend of talent on both sides.

Hell no

I doubt it since he’s not winning like he was starting out & doesn’t have a lot of experience yet in the P5. If he were in his 3-4th year and winning big in the Pac 12 then he might be looked at but he isn’t. He’s struggling in the Pac 12 and the SEC is a completely different beast with just Saban/Smart not to mention Kiffin/Drinkwitz/Heupel/ Kelly etc. and next year Sark coming in with Texas.

BS Kirby is the best coach currently coaching in the country thats including Saban............ Saban past his prime.....

Imagine if Taylor Swift called you up for a booty call. Yeah, that is not happening either.

Bear Bryant went 9-0-1 in year 3, won the SWC, and wasn't invited to a bowl. College Football was different in 1956. Stallings was a failure 3 of his 4 seasons at A&M.

A&M has grown into becoming a top tier destination. It was not always a top job. Just like Nebraska falling from a top tier destination

Texas joining the SEC will not effect the money that comes into Texas A&M through donors though. If anything those donors may start throwing in more money cause they hate TU.

A&M is a top tier position for many coaches as A&M is one of the few places where you actually have all the pieces. Like A&M has top tier recruiters, facilities, and players, as well as the funds to do so. We’ve just never been lucky with a good coach yet, maybe one day it’ll hit.
