Rob Childress reaches 400 wins at A&M

The Aggies' 8-7 defeat of Tennessee on Sunday afternoon wrapped up a clean sweep in Knoxville and boosted the team's record to 41-7, keeping pace with LSU and Vanderbilt in the SEC and national seed races.

It also marked Rob Childress' 400th win as head coach at Texas A&M.



If you're scoring at home, that's an average of about 40 wins a year in the 10 years he's held the position. And in fact, in that span the Aggies have finished with more than 40 wins six times and made the NCAA Tournament every season after Childress' first.

Fellow coaches and current and former players took to Twitter after Sunday's outcome to express some congratulations:

Congratulations @Rob_Childress on your 400th win at A&M! #12thMan pic.twitter.com/tDdt86OqBI

With seven games remaining in the regular season and at 16-7 in SEC play, the Ags are closing in on a national seed in the '15 tourney — which would be a first in Childress' tenure.

It would also be only the second time in program history (1999, the first year the super regional format began, being the other).
