Red star for you Rojo for sticking to your guns...

too bad for you. You might have learned something.

Kidding. I did read. You make some good points, but what fun is that if we as fans can't speculate? Do you honestly think that anyone making predictions on texags is going to harm our program in any way?

Rojo did the same thing last year with the Chavis hire and I say we turned out just fine.

I have a hard time believing spurrier would come here at all but I'm starting to come around and feel that rojo believes what he says and he isn't a troll. Didn't think I would say that.

He speaks!

In the end all of this is for our entertainment.

I am by nature a skeptic of internet forums, especially Aggie ones when it comes to A&M football. I am not here to claim you are wrong or you are correct. You have firmly stated that it is what you believe, so I will take you at your word that you believe it to be so. That is not what I'm writing about. I have no questions about Spurrier or Spav or any new OC.

BUT - answer me this:

HOW does you coming on here to post about the old OC, the new OC, possible bad news coming, etc. help HC Kevin Sumlin in any way shape or form?

If Sumlin and the AD wanted Spurrier's name out there - they would have announced it already. For some reason, they do not, yet you feel compelled to release the info and "claim" it is to calm down the fan base on TexAgs? Really?

WHO BUYS THAT?

If you "TRULY" supported Texas A&M and our football program explain to me how posting what I can only describe as "confidential information", since the HC and AD have not released anything at all, is HELPING a school you claim to support?

1. Posting things about Spav being out while he is still recruiting - bad for Texas A&M.
2. Posting things about Spurrier being the new OC while nothing has been announced - bad for Texas A&M (see line item 1)
3. Posting things about "more bad news" coming on players transferring - bad for Texas A&M.

So, I am not seeing or understanding your perspective that your posts in anyway do anything to remotely HELP TEXAS A&M's football program. All of those things above do nothing but create uncertainty and discontent with HS coaches, HS recruits, HS families of recruits, current players on the team, and lastly the fan base.

I would suggest that all of you who "believe" Rojo to be telling the truth to ask yourselves some questions tonight about who really wants whats best for Texas A&M. I'm not saying you should or should not believe what he is saying. We are all free to believe what we want to believe. I have ZERO beef with that.

But there is this thing called "critical thinking" or do they not teach that anymore in college these days. I hope some of us can slow down and think more critically on what we are reading on these boards the last few weeks.

Thanks for reading and considering.

Does "critical thinking" include over analyzing? Somtimes you don't have to over think a situation and realize many don't take it as seriously as you. You must have never enjoyed the circus.

Rojo - any news on the other shoe dropping?

Perhaps, but the DC hire discussion was "easy" to do. Snyder was fired a day or two after the season ended.

A&M and Sumlin have done no such thing with the OC this year. So, all of his posting can create a lot of uncertainty and questions for recruits and their families.

I also laugh when people try to justify posting 'harmful' rhetoric about the program - "well, nobody reads TexAgs anyway" or "do you really think recruits and their families troll TexAgs for program insights?", blah, blah, The recruit and families don't have to do that for it to make it to their ears. Even if the family doesn't read TexAgs, opposing coaches lowly staffers do, just looking for juicy rumors whether true or untrue they can use to their advantage. Why give them that?

Plus, we have plenty of examples of recruits and their parents having handles on TexAgs so I think it is a bit of 'burying your head in the sand' to act like NO ONE reads TexAgs. Think about how much you are on here and how fanatical you are about your team (or if you are a sip troll about your sip team). Now, think about how fanatical a family member would be if they actually had a kid on that football team. Would they not be MORE likely to be on TexAgs than not?

Just don't see the "upside" here with what he is doing right now. Had Spav been let go with an official announcement, then speculation on the new OC would be very appropriate. But, that is just my opinion, and I'm old so what do I know.

Please continue to "have fun" even if it is at the expense creating uncertainty that opposing teams will gladly "have fun" with themselves when recruiting against us. Just sayin.........................

I am good sir.

My question is for Rojo not you. I'm asking HIM why he thinks this is helpful.

Why do you think it is funny or not serious? Some of you are hilarious.

If you are having fun believing it or feeding it, that's your fun. I'm questioning Rojo on why he thinks it's helpful to the program - that's me having fun. We each have fun in our own way.

I don't know why, that's above my pay grade. I have faith in my friends.

I think there is something key here that a lot of people are missing: BMA's did not pump 700 million into the football program to win participation ribbons and 8-4,9-3 records. They pumped 700 million into the program to win SEC Championships and National Championships.

Sometimes when you hire the wonderful 7-11 Manager to take over a Wal-Mart - you play into the Peter Principle. They just can't make the move to the scale of the Wal-Mart and the margins of the competition. Often it is best for all involved fo the 7-11 Manager to go back to what he does best, and to hire an experienced Manager to bring the Wal-Mart back up to speed.

Spavital is in over his head. It's there for all to see, especially on game day on the sidelines. It simply cannot be hidden, nor ignored. A change must be made, and it is being made.

And my statement stands. And you question us on "critical thinking."

Again, I am not asking you about that. I'm asking you how your posts "help" Texas A&M?

To be honest, I could not care less who Sumlin has as his OC. That's his job to pick em and make it work. If it doesn't - he gone and the next one is up. Every school needs a new coach eventually.

So again, how does all of this help Texas A&M football get better and pay off on that $700 million investment you speak of?

Just sayin................

except a good executive wouldn't allow the store to burn to the ground over the fiscal year before sh/t canning the manager. Otherwise great comparison

Dude,

you really value your opinion!

Rojo clarify this for us, please:

1. If it is Spurrier, when will they announce?

2. Is KM transferring?

3. Is Spav official to WVU

4. If new OC is not Spurrier, then who?

5. What is the other shoe?!

I gotta say this, bro. Personally, I think you're on to something, cause your track record would suggest you are a hell of a guesser if not...in which case, I want to pay for a trip to Vegas with you. On me.

However, if you're wrong, I don't really care and would like to buy you a beer, anyway, cause I like your style.

I post the information for two reasons: 1) to keep the weak minded occupied and away from their keyboards where they foolishly and bitterly tear at an entire program having probably never played the game themselves at any level, 2) apparently someone deep in Aggieland wants the information out there for their purpose as they see it helping the program.

I think 2) indicates that Rojo has posted the info about a new OC hire because someone in low places wants it leaked. In other words Rojo is an intermediary, but I doubt he would agree to be the leaker unless he was privileged to more info than what he is passing out. So I think we should not be focusing upon why Rojo felt he should leak the info, but rather...why does someone important in low places feel that leaking this info could be important for the future of A&M football?

Rojo,
Is the potential other shoe drop related to the change in OC?

I shouldn't have put that out there -- as it can hurt the program. But, yes, there is a relationship.

Yes it could hurt the program but I'll confirm it anyway. Unbelievable.

Once you bake a biscuit - you can't unbake it, right? I can temper the wild guesses. It has nothing to do with Chavis. Chavis is an Aggie and he loves being here and the challenge of moving our defense up into the Top 10 over the next 2 years.

This is all I need to know. Every other coaching change I can deal with.
