Jimbo worst was 5-7, Elko going to go 4-8 this year wow.

it is amazing how Jimbo and Elko have made the Sumlin era age better so to speak

despite the Sumlin era's flaws

the way the sport is now he might very well end up making the playoff next season, and I do still think he's a good coach. But man, this year has been such a cluster its hard to compute. I understood going in they might not be as good this year and have a tougher schedule, but man... How is it a historically bad team?

RC started the suck at the Alamodome v. SMU.

Honestly? Nobody has any depth anymore at the important (i.e. high-dollar) positions. Almost every team is only a few major injuries away from this. That combined with the new 9-game conference schedule is why I thought we had a chance to actually do better than expected this year. (We thought) we had our easiest games early in the year, and by the end of the year everything is going to be a crapshoot anyways. I still think we get a couple of wins we aren't expecting because of that.

I do think the combination of reduced depth and increased number of conference games means the SEC has no chance of being competitive in the post-season until/unless recruiting evens out between the conferences (or at least, with the B1G).

Without Johnny, Sumlin doesnt beat Alabama in Tuscaloosa. Which means he doesnt make the Cotton bowl, much less destroy the Sooners.

Without Johnny, this programs W/L record in the SEC dips considerably.

Some of y'all would have never survived the Gary Patterson days at TCU. Their highs were super high and their lows were super low. I'm gonna hang on and see what time tells on Elko. Still think he can field a winning team but who knows. I lived through 77-0 so my emotional connection to Aggie football isn't what is used to be anyways.

We're probably not far from a 77-0 performance this year. I wouldn't surprise me at this point.

I'm thrilled to see if we can miraculously beat t.u. to go 5-7 and watch half of Texags say it was a successful season because "at least we beat t.u.".

apology time to Sumlin?

his worst was 7-5

Sumlin also had to deal with a much tougher SEC west. It's nothing like what it was.

Honestly, this is the toughest spot elko's been at in his career. We'll see how he comes out of it.

I think this is first and foremost a coordinator-hire problem. Seeing the same thing with Lanning at Oregon (even when Dante Moore was healthy). Maybe we give Elko a chance to correct the mistake before we run him out of town. Flame away.

You think well make it out of it? We're about to hemorrhage hs recruits and what offensive player with options would come here? Don't say money because good players can go anywhere for money and know they are going to the NFL. So that leaves you with the guys that got passed up on another teams depth chart. Gonna be hard to make it out the other side now that everyone worth anything can jump ship and make money winning.

I thought this thread was gonna be about a bigger buyout this time.
