It's not coaching. It's not the program. It's Texas A&M. The way the whole place is run. The culture. All of it.

But, our traditions are amazing and that sustains us. Why do you care about winning...its secondary!

Yep. The school is just collectively ****ing losers at everything. Will never win anything of meaning ever. Same old crap year after year after year.

Coaching is bad for sure… but why do we hire only bad ones and non good ones?

Hey We have yell leaders, that make us so different. Otherwise we'd just be everyone else (sarcasm).

This isn't a cause and affect thing. But there's a pattern here. We don't actually want to win here, unless it's our way.

I have been watching the same crap for 25+ years and I totally agree, but stating the obvious is not a solution. Maybe you can tell us how to fix it then. What does A&M need to do to "change the culture"?

At least we were winning 9-11 games a year when I was in school. Of course, winning in the SEC is a bit different then winning in the SWC.

Coaches players and administrators come and go but we continue to lose.

What does this even mean? Do you want to change everything? Burn every building down? Fire every employee down to the food service workers and dorm janitors? Kick out every current student and revoke every diploma?

Except our coaching is ***** Not a single coach who failed here ever continues on. Elko is no different. He's not special in any way.

Because it would appear the good ones avoid us like the plague. It would seem they're right

We are a soft fan base, soft administration, we care more about how we treat other teams, we care more about players who aren't elite whatsoever, but we're told they're amazing. We care more about honoring traditions, and having males be our cheerleaders. We care more about being nice. We don't care about winning, we seriously don't. A&M has non football minds making the football decision because they have money. For all the flack we give tu for letting their donors run the program, our program is worse when it comes to that. And we have Aggie media telling us every off season how this team is stronger, more physical, faster, and how the culture is completely different. This year is going to be different… nothing has changed and nothing will change. We are soft and we are not serious about winning.

I know you're drunk and angry… but what exactly is it that you think is keeping the program from winning?

It's the absolute reluctance to accept modernity. For Pete's sake we still argue about cheerleaders. People like the Rudder Association fight to keep us stuck in 1962. We focus our university marketing on the corps of cadets even though they represent less than 3 percent of the student body. Midnight yell has become a cringe event. Etc…

Actually Sumlin did get another HC gig but failed pretty spectacularly there as well.

Some of you need to spend some time walking through the MSC and reflect a bit on what really matters.

Any Aggie that would trade what Texas A&M is for anything else really isn't an Aggie at all.

This is minor league pro football. Someday we might reach the top of the mountain or maybe not. Enjoy it for what it is, in the end it's of little importance.

The notion that our university should somehow morph its culture and traditions because that would lead to football success, I reject out of hand.

Leadership starting with Chancellor Sharp and the board, filters down to AD, coaches, and staff.

Start new traditions.

Get rid of traditions, BS, crap that has proven to not work.

And ladies and gentlemen, this is why. Losers with a losing mindset.

Time to stop. After 40 years my heart can't take this any more. Thinking about being a North Texas fan. Or maybe Texas State. No expectations, not anger, healthier heart...

Our culture was great when Jackie Sherrill was our head coach. He knew how to win at A&M and embraced all our traditions. He also hired damn good coordinators and assistants, in addition to getting great players. There's no secret to having success in coaching, but few seem to be able to make it happen at A&M.

Nope, pretty sure it is an average football program that is the problem.
That or a curse of some kind.
Nothing looks more foolish than tradition to those who have none.

BS….get the right coach and we will win big. Now if you want to argue the people hiring the coaches is the problem I will listen.

Hey Jaxis no disrespect but who named you the final word on what is Aggie and what isn't Aggie? Maybe for some if us an Aggie isn't tied to old ways that aren't relevant in today's world. I love my time at A&M but those days are gone. We have a past, I get it, We can respect our history but not be held back by it.
