It’s pathetic how many people on here don’t understand how good of a recruiting staff/support org they have there. They’ll be just as talented as Alabama and Georgia by the ‘23 season, and losing several good players to the draft will only negatively impact them in the early stages of next season.

    A&M is playing the NIL game smarter than everyone else. You can bitch and moan all you want, but they are ahead of us. Our OL package is us (finally) trying to catch up.

    I think my favorite part of all of this is the unquestioned agreement that the dude who threw three interceptions vs. Kent State would have solved all of their problems.

Imagine being Evan Stewart visiting Bama this weekend and seeing two Bama WRs put up >100 yards in basically a half (against a team A&M scored 10 points on), but thinking "nah A&M is the best place for my career" LOL

Nobody has denied that Jimbo can recruit. It's that he keeps losing 3 to 5 games with that talent on almost a yearly basis. 

When Jimbo loses 3 to 5 games next season what will the excuse be? You were in this thread going crazy how good this A&M team was and the following week they got embarrassed by Ole Miss.

His teams would destroy the very desire to play football anymore in life of anyone on our bullshit team

So would everyone. Texas sucks. 

That doesn't disprove that Jimbo has lost 3.5 games on average over the last 7 seasons. That was with much more talented teams at FSU. I'm sure Jimbo will continue to add talented recruiting classes and continue to lose 3 to 5 games. 

 

 

Calzada, especially Calzada on the road, is a bottom of the barrel P5 QB. Ole Miss is a good team who finally got a few receivers back. You can place blame on Jimbo for not developing him or signing him in the first place, and both of those points are fair. They’ve played well enough to where recruits don’t care about that because they know King and Weigman are better. Their flaw is that their pace is glacial and receivers have to wait a while to see the field and/or never fully develop. I think they’ll ultimately overcome those hurdles because Jimbo finally incorporated more RPO into their game plans, and that’ll greatly benefit King/Weigman. If they start getting guys like Stewart and Johntay Cook, then Jimbo/Craig would have to really fuck things up to not have a quality WR corps.

They’ve now built a floor of 9-3 or so against any given schedule, and they’re loaded with future draft picks on their defensive depth chart. If LSU makes a bad hire, then they’ll have minimal competition for recruits in this region for a while. They’re reaping the rewards of having a good AD who nailed a coaching search while getting whatever $ they want from their boosters.

If they lose to LSU the floor would be lower than that in 3 out of 4 years  for Jimbo. I'm having a difficult time taking you seriously. 

Maybe you're counting these automatic wins like you were with Ole Miss because you apparently haven't watched A&M's offense. 

 

 

 

 

 

Did I ever even say they’d beat Ole Miss? I don’t recall saying that, but feel free to quote one of my posts saying as much. A&M struggles to move the ball against P5 defenses when Jimbo runs his typical west coast offense. They beat Alabama because of how much RPO he incorporated, and he’ll be able to overcome running his dated offense with an accurate and intelligent QB (Weigman, King TBD). I don’t care if you take me seriously because all you’re capable of is surface-level analysis.

Alabama is average this year. Struggled with LSU, A&M, Arkansas, and Florida. That would never happen with normal Alabama teams and they're lucky to not have a few losses already.  

I expect Alabama to get destroyed against Georgia and then Saban will run off some of his recent hires that have been bad. 

The A&M upset of Alabama isn't  shocking anymore after watching Alabama recently. They aren't very good and Saban knows he needs to make some staff changes. 

 

George Clooney do you want to wager some money that Jimbo loses at least 3 games next season? 

That would be 7 seasons with 3 losses or more in the last 8 seasons. I like the history on my side so I'll take this bet. You in? 

 

 

 

A&M could easily have 5 losses at this point with the LSU game yet to come. Should've lost to CO and Bama wins that game 8 or 9 times out of 10. Yes, they won them and yes they're in way better shape than we are right now, but floor of 3 losses is a stretch. I'd say ceiling is 2-3 losses next year because of schedule and all that they're losing.

Yes, 2021 Alabama is a step behind most of Saban’s teams there thus far, but they aren’t average. They will lose to Georgia by multiple possessions because Georgia has an elite defense and competent offense. 
 

I’d take that bet, but I don’t care to profit on their good outcomes. I guess I’m just puzzled that so many people on here completely write them off, but one guy on here was firing off takes on Twitter saying Herman was a better coach than Jimbo so it’s probably just blind hatred.

They beat Alabama because Alabama played like every player had just rubbed one out before the game. Anyone who watched that game could see that.

I'm not writing them off. With this bag game they've committed to, they could be top 5 in talent in 2-3 years. The talent and the defense will put them in some playoff hunts (well I guess the playoffs are changing but you know what I mean).

I think people on here get triggered because some people these days act like A&M is the next Bama or something. They'll have talent and have some years in contention, but places like Bama, UGA, and tOSU will still have just as much talent and better coaching. As long as they have Jimbo's offense they aren't going to be some kind of dynasty like they're hyping themselves up to be.

Herman needed to be fired because 3 or 4 losses isn't good enough. Same with Sark if things don't get turned around in the next couple of years. 

You would think aggy would have the same thought process but apparently they're pleased with 3 or more losses in 75% of Jimbo's seasons so far.

A 100 bucks? 3 losses or more for A&M and I win the bet.

Here comes the SEC excuse. 3 losses are 3 losses. 

Jimbo in 4 years-4, 5, 1, 3 (maybe 4). 

You act like these are dissimilar results when they aren't outside of the Covid year.

Im not acting like anything.  Math isnt hard

So George Clooney we down for $100 bucks? 

You seem all in on A&M so I'm down if you are. 3 losses or more for A&M and I win the bet. We can figure out payment after the results next season.

Yeah, and Jimbo's history going on 7 years now outside of the Covid year. 

This is cash money for me. That's why I'm waiting for George Clooney to take the bet. If he thinks A&M is reaching Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio State levels he shouldn't be worried about a bet of 3 losses.

Herman wasn't fired for losing 3 games. He was fired for being an insufferable prick with a team that was underperforming in the year when they were supposed to put it all together. They were always taking a step back this year with the departures. Lost to a down OU, TCU, and a solid ISU. Couldn't get out of his own way. On top of that, recruiting was going in the tank.

Not just about losing 3 games in a season

The fact is you come to Surly with absolute takes until you get called on the carpet with whatever crap you threw against the wall.  Then, you walk back whatever it was with  “to be fair” and “to be clear” as you hedge whatever bullshit narrative you created.  Now, @Rickylovesweed is giving you the chance to put your money where your mouth is and you’re ducking him.  Just go the fuck away.

Based on what Looch told us from fall camp of course...

A&M’s never going to be a dynasty like Alabama or Ohio State, but if they keep stacking recruiting classes, they’ll be a perennial top 15 team. And if they get a quarterback that isn’t trash, maybe they’ll have a year where they only have two losses. 
 

But I’d trade our coach for Jimbo 10/10 times. And that’s not a compliment to Jimbo - he’s not that good. Just an inditement of our miserable, sorry ass, piece of shit coach. If we do actually end up going to the SEC, they’re going to push our shit in for every year we have Sark After Dark.
