Deboer and even LK would have been scary.

They can only polish the turd that is Sark for so long.

It gets exposed next season

---

If they keep getting talent for Sarkisian, and I have no reason to believe they won't, the sips will be a contender with him at the helm. Surprisingly, our attempts to ignore them into obscurity have failed. If we don't up our game big time, it's going to be like old times. I hope Elko can succeed.

It's early for sh*t posting.

They're not scared. We're scared. When we earn their fear ours will be gone. When we beat them 3-4 times in a row then it will happen.

There is not a Texas fan alive who is "scared" of this hire. The whole process has been pure comedy. Predictable pure comedy, but pure comedy nonetheless.

---

Everyone was laughing at the Sarkisian hire, too, and that might turn our to be okay for you turds. We'll see next year when you have to play more then one team with a pulse.

What have you seen out of A&M that leads you to believe that anyone should be scared of us? National Championship winning coaches have come here and had their careers die. Promising up-and-comers have come here and had their careers die. Once again, what have you seen that should make anyone scared? If anyone should be scared it's Mike Elko.

---

ok.

tell me what's the reason that coaches havent had success here?

When Cooper Mannings kid transfers to Miss State and the mullet qb graduates to nfl practice squad qb the sips will wake up and wonder who scheduled Georgia the week after they lose to ou in Dallas.

I doubt Arch Manning transfers even if Quinn Ewers returns for another year. Ewers has proven to be injury-prone and I do not know for sure, but I suspect Manning is better than his competition Maalik Murphy, so being second string behind a brittle starter in the SEC sounds like a pretty good opportunity to shine.

Not like the guy wouldn't have better NIL opportunities in Austin compared to Starkville and it's not like he is poor anyway.

Texas is 10-1 this year.....I doubt they are scared

Dude those coaches careers died because of those coaches. You think yell leaders and traditions got the best of them?

Jimbo, Sumlin, freaking Fran.

All those guys were terrible to mediocre.

Not saying Texas is not decent, but their record is a bit deceptive. First, they play a B12 schedule. Second, they have looked less than convincing in some of those B12 wins, literally needing last second questionable calls to go their way to prevent a loss.

If somehow they sneak into the CFP this year, UGA will expose and embarass them like they did TCU last year.

I'll believe the hype when I see the results. I've been hanging around since 1968 and I've seen only one big hire and that was Jackie. Jimbo was going downhill when we hired him. Elko hasn't done anything to fully gain my trust, but I'll back him and certainly hope he is successful. I just expected more splash. We'll see.

Hopefully, we'll get a chance to see that embarrassment.

This OP is embarrassing

Let it be known for all the pansies that like to troll TexAgs and then run with their findings like little children to post on the rant to receive the adulation of juveniles that we all think OP is stupid.

Schools always concern themselves with their recruiting rivals. Including the Sips who were super happy when they thought Stoops was our hire.

---

Yes. I received texts from their supporters before I knew about the Stoops attempt.

There is no "sneak in", you're either chosen to be in or you aren't. And right now the odds are very very good that Texas won't be in, but 12-1 conference champs against the second strongest schedule of those in the conversation and with a 10 point win at Alabama would not be sneaking in.

---

I like this Texas team a lot and would have loved for the 12 team playoff to be this year. They might not always win pretty but they have heart and as much talent as any team outside of Georgia and perhaps Alabama.

Line them up and play. These Texas Longhorns might just surprise you.

I'm sorry but your biased perception is at odds with the hard data. Right now Texas' schedule is ranked #13. Alabama's is ranked #31. Georgia's is #59. Oregon is #62, Washington is #46.

And was Alabama not less than convincing beating Arkansas by 3 at home, or against A&M, or against South Florida, or this past weekend with Auburn?

Give me a break, outside of Alabama, who you were lucky to play at the start of the year before Milroe found his footing, and OU, who you lost to, what other teams on your schedule are not mediocre or outright garbage? The Kansas schools that went 8-4 in the B12?

Make sure you come back here and brag about beating Okie St in the B12 "championship", who lost to UCF 45-3 and South Alabama 33-7. LOL

So how many defenders does the Big 12 have that are going to be worthy of the NFL draft?

Now look at the SEC.

was just perusing orangebloods and didnt see anyone being skeered over there

And this year, we'll contribute 1.
And likely 1 on offense.

The problem is that those are probably the only two. This year.

It will be as it has always been. tu winning eighty percent of games played against Ags. Money and us not playing tu , not playing tu anymore was the biggest reason for joining the sec. We will never be a great team. Period.

I think this is pretty ignorant. It doesn't take long to see that Jimbo actually underachieved to his talent levels at FSU 7/8 years at Florida State. Despite top 5 talent every year, his FEI ratings (efficiency based on advance metrics) was 15, 18, 12, 1, 21, 15, 12, 30.

In his last three seasons, Jimbo lost to 11 teams less talented than him. He was showing us exactly who he was going to be at A&M, but the "national championship coach" caused us all to ignore the reality that he just wasn't a very good coach. He was Larry Coker/Gene Chizik.

Elko is the opposite of this. I know it's short, but both years at Duke greatly overachieved to his talent levels, and had A&M overachieving on defense in 2020/2021, too. He has beaten 9 teams ranked higher in recruiting than him the last two seasons. The anti-Jimbo track record.

I'm not saying it will or won't work out. Heck, most coaches are fired within 5-6 years. But we have had two hires since our program has been at the level it is now. Sumlin and Fisher. Some act like this is a 100-year / 10 coach ordeal thing. The A&M program of 1980 or even 2008 have nothing to do with how we are set up now. Our resources/money/facilities have been better than ever the last 12 years. We simply had two coaches that didn't work and there were red flags with both if you looked.

If you have a high-quality head coach in charge, you WILL win here. If Elko is that, he will win. Jimbo wasn't. That's why he didn't win.

That looks pretty damn good to me.

Considering Duke is normally the 3-9/4-8 team

He can't. Other than they weren't good enough.

He will probably say it's our fault and there's something inherently wrong. But that's BS. Sumlin and Jimbo simply weren't good enough.

Sherman and Fran weren't, either. But our program also wasn't set up nearly as well then

i'm not a Sumlin fan....
but you really do need to get a F'n dog.

whatever inferiority complex you've got is disturbing.
maybe sell that Chevelle and go buy a SmartCar instead.

they regulated scholarships back in the early 70's. since then, the series is 50/50.
that means that whatever dominant run you think they went on, even during Mack's success....that means we had an equally dominant run in the head-to-head matchups.

Jackie and RC owned those little *****es. Even that dip**** Fran got em a couple times.

there's no reason to assume we can't slap them around.

our sights need to be set elsewhere anyway....we need to be working to beat the Bama/Georgia's of the world....and leave t.u. in the rearview mirror (but protect the cornhole!)

When the calendar says it's Wednesday do you say "I don't care, in my mind it's Sunday"? Because your denial of irrefutable hard data is astonishing.

Damn, it's like trying to use reason with Joy Behar or Hamas.
