The last good hire was Jackie Sherril and that was more than 40 years ago.
The Aggie love for Jackie is funny. He beat up on a weak conference and got the program under probation.
Probation was because Jackie beat tu.
Weak conference was during RC.
80s SWC was not weak.
How many SWC national titles in the 80s? Without looking it up I'm saying zero.
After fact check checking: 0 SWC titles in the 70s, 80s, or 90s.

99.99% of this board was uncontrollably giddy with the Jimbo hire
Franchione was a solid hire on paper , could be argued was a slam dunk hire on paper
Sumlin was a solid hire on paper
Jimbo was a slam dunk on paper
Only hire imo that wasn't a splash was Mike Sherman

How do all our solid hires end up as failures?
Maybe time to demolish Kyle Field and build another elsewhere.

Except for Fran (at least at the time) I wouldn't call anyone since Jackie a solid hire.
How is hiring a coach with an 83-23 record, 3 ACC championships, 4 division titles and a National Championship not a solid hire at the time? He hasn't lived up to expectations here outside of 2020 but to say it wasn't a slam dunk on paper is ridiculous.

I guess you didn't see the back to back bowl games against Tim Brown led ND or the Bo Jackson led Auburn. Both games A&M took them apart. And the wrecking crew even stole Tim's towel!

Probably not. We were 6-1 against LSU during Slocum's tenure.Sterling82 said:Big Money Aggie said:AggieDruggist89 said:

I wonder if they melted down when we lost to LSU during those years.

Uh, we had a loss to tOSU in between those 2.
AND, it was the 12th Man Kickoff Team that stole the towel.

They were SWC champs those years. That's why they were in the Cotton Bowl. That's how it used to work. So I'm sure there's banners and trophies for 3 consecutive SWC championships and the two Cotton Bowl victories.superunknown said:geoag58 said:NoahAg said:AggieDruggist89 said:

. You're right about the hire part. Certainly not the extensions for Sumlin and Fischer.Aggie said:

The point is outside of the Sherrill hire(which was cut short because the administration lost their nerve and instead of supporting Jackie FOR DOING THE SAME DAMN THING THE LONGHORNS WERE GETTING AWAY WITH, they let him go) we have been wandering in the wilderness.
We do not have championship winning guidance from the top and until that changes we are going no where. And unless Jimbo quits tripping over his own ego and gets out of the way we are about to wander deeper into the wilderness.
it's funny, RC was not hired by the BMAs.Big Money Aggie said:AggieDruggist89 said:
