Goodness, before you flame, I know that Kyler leaving was not Jimbo's fault, so he's not to blame and not sure if "anyone" is to blame per se, but what an incredible breakdown on one of the largest college football programs in the nation to lose Kyler.
Losing two 5-Star QB's is unthinkable and only brought back the disfunction when the very next year on of our transfer wins the top award. We work so hard and spend so much money on facilities, new stadiums, etc. trying to get these top recruits and granted...we did.
Losing Kyler was more than just Sumlin having a culture that wasn't player friendly (or too player friendly) as this runs much deeper. In addition we lose TWO 5-Star QB's, but for argument's sake let's focus on Kyler. We lose a guy who had been named the freakin' starter, the son of an Aggie Football legend, and DNA threaded through Texas football...and he STILL leaves!
Yesterday adds insult to injury. He proved to be the best athlete in college football and may be primarily responsible for OU winning it all...doubtful, but they could. Sumlin aside, there should have been MANY stepping in to prevent losing one of hour highest profile recruits in recent history.
This guy transfers and wins the Heisman, No excuse to work so hard to build a program, spend crazy money, and lose the best player in CFB. To think he was an Aggie and the starter is disappointing and will go down as one of the big mishaps in recent history for Aggie Football.
We are a dynamic QB away from a 10 win season. We have a good coach, and sure a few holes here and there, but had we had Kyler this year, we beat Clemson, and maybe another 1-2. Mond is much improved, but not the guy as he never looks comfortable. Who will be next guy to take us over the top?
We lost a Heisman winner. That's a bitter pill to swallow.
