I know many won't want to hear the reasons behind our struggles or what's in front of us, but I thought it was a good read.
OK, you are now free to go back to arguing with one another about who yells more (or used to yell more), what Kirk Herbstreit says about us in a car at 2 in the morning and how bad you think Kellen Mond is or is it the OL who can't block or the WRs who can't catch?

I know many won't want to hear the reasons behind our struggles or what's in front of us, but I thought it was a good read.

"We want results as fast as everybody else does," Fisher told ESPN this week, "but we're going to keep the process of what we're doing and doing it right.
"Everybody wants it tomorrow, and I do, too."

"It's just frustrating when you put in all this work and you don't come out on Saturdays," Ausbon said. "You only get 12 opportunities to put it on the film. ... These opportunities don't last forever, so you've got to make the most of them."
Quote:
In the Aggies' losses to Clemson and Auburn, Mond attempted 42 and 49 passes, respectively. Since Fisher arrived, the Aggies are 1-4 when Mond attempts at least 40 passes and 11-2 when he throws it fewer than 40 times (for good measure, they're 9-0 in the Fisher era when Mond has fewer than 30 pass attempts).
Quote:
The defense, which took a huge step forward last season, has been solid but far from perfect. Defensive tackle Bobby Brown III lamented the mental mistakes against Clemson, noting that the defensive line alone had 20 missed assignments. Against Auburn, "our eyes got lazy" against the Tigers' misdirection and the Aggies didn't respond accordingly.
Quote:
The program's young in how we do things and the culture we're creating and creating the mentality to win and understand how to win and all the little things that go with it," Fisher told ESPN. "That's an educational process. ... And I think we're right on track with where we're going."
Several veteran players have admitted that some of the younger players on the A&M roster are still adjusting to how Fisher and his staff want things done.
"At what point are we going to decide that every play it's important for each guy to do their part and do their assignment?" Ausbon said. "It's not rocket science. It's really just a matter of coming out and doing it."
Quote:
Until the Aggies are in the playoff conversation, Fisher's 10-year deal will likely become similar fodder.
Fisher understands that and says it doesn't bother him.
"That's what people are gonna say," he said. "I understand why they say it. I don't hold that against them. I'm not mad. I get it. I want to be successful, too. But the process to win is a process."
