Someone needs to tweet at Billy that Texas played 7 opponents in the top 30 and won 6 of them.  I think that's the most in all of college football.

Why do you think tweeting a fact at Billy Liucci will somehow make him see he's wrong. He'll ignore it and keep railing on Texas because his job is to tell his subs what they want to hear.

    I have to tell you, I don't know if I can handle this if it is true. They are speculating on the aggie 247 board that, because Elijah Robinson is still an employee at Texas A&M and because he is c

That's becuase they're idiots. Despite the 3 seed, they think the choice was between Texas and FSU, when in reality even the head of the CFP committee said yesterday ON THE AIR that it absolutely was a final choice between Alabama and FSU for the last spot in the playoff. And you know those twats are never going to claim that the SEC champion should have been left out of the playoff.

If A&M was a person that person would be Jimbo Fisher

That's what makes his departure even more of a tragedy. Yeah sure, I'll laugh at the dipshittery of future aggy coaches, but I doubt any of them will capture the essence of aggy quite like that insecure, little cuck did. It was a magical time.

The Big 12 was not rancid.  There were a lot of quality teams that could beat you.  7 teams in the top 30 per Sagarin.  Texas went 5-1 in those games.

The ACC was rancid -- and six of FSU's nine conference wins were the dregs of that league. Nobody seems to be mentioning that.

I am going to leave this here, it is my most shameful collectable, but after yesterday I am guilt free in sharing it.

That is fun to relive. Wow.

Sean Spencer is their new DL coach?  And you say he can persuade but can't really coach?  
 

 

Jardin Gilbert is a big loss in the portal. LSU is going to build a legit team just off aggy recruits/players.

Aggie - Fisher - Plan 2024 Synopsis, as I've come to hear about it:

Spoilered for the tl;dr crowd that doesn't give a shit and doesn't want to scroll.

Spoiler

So ATM panics that Fisher is going to beat a very beatable LSU and save his job for another cycle. Meanwhile, the aggie brass sees that Texas is surging towards an SEC entrance. They also have convinced themselves that waving a whole bunch of money around and telling anyone who will listen that they can pay whatever it takes for the best coaching fit, which will land them one of the big names.

So they rally the money and fire Fisher. The next thing they did was call Dan Campbell and offer him the job. That's the first sign that they have no idea what in the fuck they are doing. Campbell lets it be publicly known that he passed on the job. The only people who thought the notion of hiring an active NFL coach heading to the playoffs was realistic, the aggies, are surprised by his dismissal. 

Then ATM calls every "name" coach that they can find. All of them want Fisher money or better and the same guarantees, or they don't even take the calls. Most didn't take the calls. 

So then the search starts to get practical, with names like Fisch, Deboer and Traylor being floated. The money takes a heaving dump on most of those names, in part because each of those coaches has the balls to want to hire their own staff. Well, not Deboer. He didn't even need to use the aggies for leverage regarding a raise, so he/his agent never acknowledged the outreach. 

Bjork, sensing an opportunity to save the day and de-risk his initial push to fire Jimbo and hire a stud, works out a deal with Stoops. The money shits on that.

Meanwhile, from day one and as discussed in real time just after Fisher's firing on this board, Mike Elko is working his aggie contacts to get the gig. Duke shows up with a big offer that he verbally accepts. The aggies come back later to talk and Elko guarantees a turnkey solution. He'll take the job for a high price and a guaranteed assistant coach and analyst money pool. In taking the role and returning, he'll keep the beloved staff members around, fire the offensive malcontents, and bring most of his Duke staff with him. 

The aggies breathe a sigh of relief, as they've got their man, he's been there all along and loyal, and he's going to hit the ground running, playing catch-up in the portal, keeping the team intact, and winning in recruiting.

Only problem is that Elko really is pretty aggie. He let his alligator mouth outrun his rabbit ass when it comes to being able to cover what he claimed. The turnkey staff turns him down. He doesn't have an exciting backup plan. He's got a weak network and he's located firmly in a place now viewed as a real CFB cesspool. They're now shadowboxing trying to solve the staff plan quickly.

They're actively burning this thing down as we all watch. It's a bonfire of their own vanities. The portal candidates aren't just going to be lured by big money. Many of the big time portal guys can get money anywhere and they to believe they can get to the NFL too. The guys on campus are tired of hearing the same old shit. Recruits can get comparable NIL anywhere and at least know who their coordinator and position coaches are going to be. ATM has no differentiators other than the "traditions" and folksy old College Station. That shit is going to be super winning for them with the 2 and 3 stars who "really want to be ags" and they'll eat that shit up. 

These rubes think they're heading to 10+ wins in 2024. That win total might take 2 years if things don't start trending differently asap.

They've also been tampering like a mother fucker. Gilbert was already brought up on their boards a couple weeks ago. 

It's fairly obvious they know they have little to no defensive talent so they've been out shopping on other rosters.

Now, I think I am reading this correctly. Are you suggesting the aggie bonfire...is about to collapse?

If they have a complete exodus of their backups like they did last year, it's still extremely painful.

Losing backups is especially painful, when playing games at the end of the season.

The portal is a universal elixir for all that ails you. All problems can be hand waved away.

In reality, difference makers are hard to come by through the portal, especially for C-tier programs like aggy.

Pittsburgh was 3-9 and 2-6 in a dog shit conference. That is the team he used to justify Louisville being better than Oklahoma State. UCF would boat race both Pittsburgh and Louisville, because they have an excellent coach. Oklahoma State would boat race Pittsburgh and likely beat Louisville. It's funny how he says that Oklahoma State lost to South Alabama, but Alabama is this juggernaut that needed a fucking miracle to beat a team that New Mexico State waxed a week earlier. Georgia is also not some great SEC team either. Their offense is shit, mainly because their QB is a fucking joke. Texas would absolutely smother that fucking offense, just like they did to Alabama in week 2.

And we will next season. Bet. 

 

You’ve made another comfort hire, aggy?

ouch. I know next to nothing about those two coaches, but the fact that he is bringing people with him from there shows you that Elko has no real network to leverage and/or couldn't convince better coaches to join him.  We saw this exact playbook with Herman. I think the o/u for years of Elko/A&M is now at 3.5.

So much for this huge assistant salary pool that was going to be used to hire top-tier assistants that everyone wanted. 

They've yet to make a single big hire as an assistant but I guess there's still time. They haven't made a Bo Davis, Kyle Flood, Jeff Banks, or Tashard Choice level hire yet. Not even close.

Since the OL hire has happened, it will be interesting to see if the OC hire isn't far behind. Kevin Johns???

Here is the coaching history of these guys.  OL guy may be a decent coach but has been a midwest guy his entire career.   DB guy has been a position coach a grand total of 3 seasons (2 at DB).

Cushing:

  • 2022-pres. – Duke (Run Game Coordinator/Offensive Line)
  • 2019-21 – Eastern Illinois (Head Coach)
  • 2012-18 – Northwestern (Offensive Line)
  • 2009-11 – Northwestern (Offensive Line/Recruiting Coordinator)
  • 2008 – Northwestern (Superbacks/Recruiting Coordinator)
  • 2005-07 – Northwestern (Tight Ends/H-Backs)
  • 2004 – Northwestern (Graduate Assistant/Offensive Line)
  • 2003 – La Verne (Offensive Line)
  • 2002 – La Verne (Tight Ends)

Ishmael Aristide

  • 2022-pres. – Duke (Cornerbacks)
  • 2021 – Miami (Strikers/Outside Linebackers)
  • 2019-20 – Texas A&M (Senior Defensive Analyst/Secondary Assistant)
  • 2017-18 – Ole Miss (Senior Defensive Analyst/Secondary Assistant)
  • 2016 – Auburn (Graduate Assistant/Defense)

Edited by Skipper

Kevin Johns as an OC per ESPN efficiency: 

Duke '23: #36

Duke '22: #24

Memphis '21: #57

Memphis '20: #71

Memphis '19: #12

Texas Tech '18: #56

Western Michigan '17: #74

Indiana '16: #83

Indiana '15: #27

Indiana '14: #71

This would be such a lazy hire and they can do much better than this.

Oh I’d bet they are spending it. Just not getting their money’s worth. Shocking, I know.   There is no other reason for these Duke guys to be slow playing them.
