Well, we all knew money wasn't the issue.
And, we can definitively say it's not the Jimmys and Joes, like we used to say when we were floundering in the Big 12, as we have not had a recruiting class ranked out of the top ten since joining the SEC.
So, maybe it's the coaches.
Let's see, we tried stealing a blue blood's coach who elevated TCU from the depths and would have taken Bama to the SEC championship game in his second year if not for their ineligibility. We then went with a somewhat successful NFL coach - whose most important quality, maybe, was "he gets Aggieland." Having still not met with success, we tried a young up and comer who had 2 seasons of 10 or more wins in four years at lowly Houston. He didn't work out, so after three futile coaches we went all in (like we did with Jackie) and stole one of four active (at that time) national championship winning coaches from prestigious Florida State.
That's quite a sample of coaches who, to some degree or other, had success prior to coaching the Ags.
So, it can't be the coaching. And it's not the players. Nor the money.
Which leads me to believe, as so many of y'all have been griping about,
It is indeed the Yell Leaders.
Once we kick their butts to the curb we will win, and win big.
