This was always going to be a train wreck of a transition. Our administration is so incompetent the fired Jimbo and agreed to a massive buyout without first having a superior replacement in the wings and a plan to keep our hired mercenaries from defecting. Its almost like the plan was to maximize our humiliation as Texas enters our conference at their peak and our trough.

I second this. Who was 25 min late?


I'd say Time Lord if he hadn't been in the NBA since 2018 and play the wrong sport.

Is Coach Elko scrambling to retain player or are we content to let them go? The list is really growing….what happened to "Elko recruited these guys and is the man for the job! He will retain them all!!

Stupidest thing Sumlin ever said. Also stupid to say trust Elko. What evidence should suggest blind trust in a coach with a 16/9 career record? Elko might work out, but history says he flames out at 8/5. But regardless Elko needs to produce and saying stupid things like trust Elko without Elko delivering trust.

Yeah, because a bunch of numb nuts on a message board clearly know more than a head coach that has pretty universally been praised as an excellent hire for A&M and led our defensive to top rankings several years in a row before.

Hell, he's gotten my support just from kicking a kid out who was late to the team meeting. About time someone held kids accountable for something other than wearing sleeves.

You're dogging Elko because he didn't win 10+ games per year, while he only spent two years….at DUKE?? In the ACC?
What if it was Vandy? Rutgers?

You ever look at what Saban did at MichSt before LSU hired him? And that's a helluva lot better gig than Duke.
And I'd say Saban ended up being more than decent

What evidence shows Elko kicked one of these names out? Because a random poster says this took place. Excuse me if it sounds like Elko propaganda until I hear it from an actual source. And there is never reason to blindly believe in a coach. Elko needs to stop the bleeding.

Saban is a once in a lifetime coach. And his time at Michigan State has no baring on what Mike Elko will do at Texas A&M.

Of course. I've never been more excited than for Fisher. And Elko might be an improvement. But I'm not going to blindly say things like trust in Elko. Mike Elko needs to produce.

Who did he kick out? And y'all are a bunch of Whitney babies about stop the bleeding! Yeah it's sucks, but if you thought half these kids were staying with Jimbo, you not smart. If you thought ERob would stay with Jimbo if he wasn't fired… you not smart. Most these guys were leaving regardless… get over it. And I Do trust Elko, more then I trust Jimbo. Jimbo had these studs and 7-5 was his ceiling… think about that. None of this is on Elko

This was discussed when the fire Jimbo now, rip the band aid off now, take the loses to the roster now, take the commits loses now, ground swell stated gaining momentum. Everyone said that was acceptable as we would pick up portal guys that could be better.

Well, here we are. As my grandad used to say "…be careful what you ask for, as you might just get it…". We are two weeks into the process, and it too early to panic in my opinion.

Michigan, Ohio State, sips, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, FSU, Oregon, OU, Tennessee, Penn State, USC, Clemson.

There's a reason why we couldn't poach a coach from any of these schools.

Not sure why players bail when there is a coaching change. At least wait and see how things develop with the new coach and staff. If it's just about looking for a better NIL deal, that may work for a few, but I'm sure some may not necessarily end up in a better situation.

My guess is there is a lot of recruiting of players by other staffs, while most of our staff is worried about securing a new job somewhere.

History suggest 99.9% of college coaches will never win a championship. Even Dabo is on the down slope. May as well never trust anyone, but it's not as catchy of a slogan

. Wasn't aware we were trying to poach any of those coaches. Especially USC, Penn St and Clemson… why would we want them?

How did Sumlins "get a dog " work out? Every Aggie loved it. And it led to a slight uptick over the Sherman years and a big uptick over the Fran years. Sumlin was better at beating quality teams than RC was. But really was a stupid phrase. No different than " Don't care got Jimbo" or " We own Alabama" after the second Alabama win in 2021. So just blindly trusting in Elko before a single result is also dumb. I hope Elko works. But I'm hardly not trusting in Elko till I see something.

I have gotten two dogs since Sumlin was signed. I've enjoyed them a lot more than the coaching tenures of Summy and Jimbo at A&M. Thanks for the advice!

Zero chance this happened, I mean I know we all get aroused at the thought of this but no way it happened like this.
