Also, Mike Leach... one of the top 100 active coaches in college football for sure. Really killing it with his .560 winning percentage at WSU.
You talmbout the same Mike Leach that racked up 7 wins against A&M from 2001 - 2008?
You talmbout the 8 worst years of Aggie football in our lifetimes?

This is an interesting time killer. I looked this up the other day and found this site.

All time Aggie W/L

Robert Harry Steitler put up some numbers that will likely never be matched again. In '48 and '49 he had only a single win and two ties. Somehow he made it '50 and turned in a 7-4 record and promptly either got fired or quit.

The Steitler tenure was interesting for sure, puro Aggie. He apparently had recruited real well and had the team looking way up.

After a bowl win he was at some event in Houston and had the hell beaten out of him at the Rice hotel. He claimed it was an unknown assault, but the press kept it in play and supposedly there was something not couth going on and he was forced to resign.

That guy had two or three state championships at the HS level and was very well regarded.

Leach is an offensive genius and is one of the best college QB coaches around.

I don't find him the least bit offensive!

What Leach has done at WSU is even more impressive after seeing that dump of a practice field. Can't imagine what the facilities are like there.

I don't put too much stock into high school stats. The quality of team around you can have a much bigger impact at that level than anywhere else on stats.
Any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

That wasn't their practice field. Their facilities are quite nice.

our qb played on an all star team in hs and still threw a very low completion percentage.

I hate to be the one to tell you that Johnny was not terrible coming out of high school. He was recruited by many schools including Stanford, Oregon, and A & M plus many others. These colleges don't recruit terrible hs players.

I meant his mechanics were terrible. Edited for clarity. I'm well aware of his HS film.

Wasn't it after training with Whitfield that he made those huge improvements to his play? Was that during redshirt year?

From what I understand, Kliff sent him to Whitfield in 2012 between spring ball and fall camp (so before he played a down in a single game). He then returned to work with Whitfield between the 2012 and 2013 seasons.

You can't teach accuracy; you have it or you don't at this level...

"The thing that's amazing to me, is that after all of high school he's not accurate, and now all of a sudden you're special and you're going to make him accurate? And then after college he's not accurate, and you're special and you're going to make him accurate? I just haven't seen that happen. I've seen guys improve, but they don't all of a sudden become accurate."
What if they're almost accurate and then they improve a little?

You can see Mond's accuracy get better when he's not rushing and his footwork is sound.
