I can't imagine a coach like Fisher being given 3 years... that doesn't even give him one full class of senior s. I agree, though- 10 years is a long time. That said, I'm happy so far. I compare it to me hiring someone to do a job around my house. Then the first thing they ask for is a draw before they get started. H NO! Show me what you can do before any money changes hands. Now I agree Jimbo is doing a great job so far. So time will tell if the investment was a good one. I think in his 3rd year his goal should be a NY6 bowl.

So time will tell if the investment was a good one. I think in his 3rd year his goal should be a NY6 bowl. I agree with the last part. One thing that people will overlook is how difficult the schedule is. The coaches voted A&M to be the 11th best team in the country. Yet they may very possibly finish with 4-5 losses. People will say “well they clearly weren’t the 11th best team in the country if they lost 4 games this season” but I don’t believe that to be true. Look at the top 25 teams. Does anyone else on that list play a schedule where they play 4 preseason ranked teams in the top 6? those teams could realistically finish a combined regular season something like 46-2 and I fully expect 3 of those teams to be in the top 5 come conference title week. That’s absurd. So A&M May very well go 8-4 this year (I think the steal one somewhere though) and still be a top 10-12 caliber team imo. I bet they could finish 8-4 but have a top 10 ranking in the FPI or BCS type computer rankings. so I said all that just to say that I don’t measure this season completely on wins and losses like nearly every other team does. The schedule is simply too much to look at this team sitting at 8-4 and think they didn’t do much. NOBODY else in the country has to play the schedule they are having to play and I highly doubt more than maybe 3-4 teams would come out any better that 1-3 in those games.

IF they lose to these 1-3 teams, the rankings will all depend on the scores. Play them hard, it's a NY6 bowl IMO if they don't lose to someone like Ark or Miss St. It probably will change.

What part of anything he just said is calling Jimbo a savior? What part of this has anything to do with Chavis? Chavis wasn’t even the head man.

The aggies finally got it done, guaranteed contract for 10 years. No way would Florida State match that. 5 minutes ago, HearEmaGrowlin said: Hey, gotta hand it to them for doing what it took to get the coach they thought and believe can get their program to the top.

Maybe it’s more of an all time thing, but then under notable players nobody list any players over about 20 years old really. well it did say "in the last 2 decades"...you're an Aggie fan, but that's 20 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
