You can set your watch to write ups and nothing but compliments to A&M's coach the first two to three years. I'll start with Sherman-First two years-He is changing culture in such an awesome way that he made the clocks digital to demand being on time and being accountable. Then Sumlin-first two years-He gets kids today and THAT'S what we need. He knows their music, identifies with them and just lets them play! Then Jimbo..Boy, the slobber fest was really on with Jimbo in his first three years. HE was the one changing culture and making it not like it used to be. He was on ESPN show-Finebaum, Marty and McGee, etc and all they could talk about was how "A&M just looks like a different program with Jimbo in charge. They are disciplined and play with pride, toughness and grit. I'm not saying Elko isn't a phenomenal coach but the generic speak of coach changing culture, demanding accountability, and doing away with entitlement is just that-generic and said about every coach across the country in their first 2-3 years..
I agree with this. Except for the Sherman part. Sherman never got a slobber fest.
Actually I take that back. His came in 2015 or so when Sumlin only won because of Sherman's recruits or something like that.
And it's interesting you didn't mention Fran. Franchione's slobber fest was probably the most intense on any in the last 25 years and lasted the longest.
