Even Johnny wasn't strong enough to break the curse.

2 things can be true at the same time. It was time for him to retire and we're terrible at hiring coaches.

My brother, you have to move on.

Johnny broke the Slocum curse.

This is a brand new curse.

He would have been gone sooner if not for that '98 season where everyone assumed "we're back" and it was actually a dead cat bounce.

Hate to break it to you, but we fired Slocum too late.

Love the guy, but it was past the time to let him go.

Revisionist. Slocum needed to move in but like said above, we've made some coach management errors over decades

I've been of the mind that we either fired if a year too late, or too nearly. He was not fired at the right time, can't change my mind on that.

He might have been if given the facilities we have today. RC begged for upgrades and was never given that advantage. Our locker rooms and facilities were high school level.

I went to Indiana for grad school and I'm quite sure IU will find a way to win a SEC Championship before A&M

He was born and raised in Louisiana. He placed a Vudoo hex on this program the day he was fired.

It was time to move on from RC, but we have idiots calling the shots. Always have and likely always will.

RC was 1-2 against Leach. The 12-0 **** show in Lubbock and then the 48-47 OT game in his last year. Not quite ownage level.
