I could be wrong but he wasn’t a cancer or bad teammate. He made bad choices and surrounded himself by folks that took advantage. He wasn’t a cancer? lol. He would possibly be the poster child of what most folks think of when the words cancer and team come up. He didn’t even like being a student at Texas A&M from what I’ve seen/read/been told. You got one thing right, he made bad choices. No way I’d hire Johnny Manziel if I were Elko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, watch his documentary. Hiring JF would be a HORRIBLE idea for the program… so of course I’m all for it. I was really joking but like Vince to a lesser degree they did a lot more good than bad for their college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surrounding yourself with good people is better for you in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aggies love him (as they should) for the excitement he brought and he played his tail off, but he will never be a coach of anything. You can’t even count on him to show up and coach a school beer pong team… Even if he was sort of reliable, the dude played the game with his hair on fire and no plan. You can’t coach that type of instinct and to be honest more than half the stuff Johnny did coaches try to coach out of kids even if they could do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was reliable he could be in some kind of recruiting camp but that not realistic. If I am wanting a former Ag to be a Qb it is clearly J johnson or Stephen McGee !

Lion7000 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Posted @withregram • @aggiefootballnetwork Mike Elko and Texas A&M are working to finalize a deal to hire Tommy Moffitt to become Texas A&M’s new Strength and Conditioning Coach “He logged more than 20 years at LSU, helping Nick Saban, Les Miles and Ed Orgeron all win national championship on the bayou; additionally, Moffitt was named FootballScoop's 2019 Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year.” REALLY liking this hire #GigEm Per FootballScoop.com/X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion7000 Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 @Coach Rab really would like your take as much as @Stoneyand @WETSU, @JohnnyFootball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WETSU Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 He’s proven that’s for sure. Probably will be a solid addition given A&Ms need to be more physical with the oline and more explosive on the edges both offensively and defensively. I personally think he’s not the best long term hire they could have made, but he’s very solid for the transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 I honestly don't know. Lotta folks like the hire. Have him in the Jerry Schmidt vein of S&C coaches. Others are saying the game may have passed him by there at the end at LSU. I'm just hoping he's an improvement of what we had post Schmidt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney Posted December 13, 2023 Author Share Posted December 13, 2023 Dominick McKinley is supposed to be signing in February now. Tyanthony Smith is supposed to be a Longhorn flip soon. Rumors that the DC could be from the NFL ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe A&M will be much improved with a healthy Qb . Plus add in the fact Alabama and Ole Miss aren’t on the schedule. 9-3 should be the basement is the Ags stay healthy.
