Am I mistaken in remembering that Sherman didn't want to go to the SEC and got sideways with admin in that?

Sherman expressed those sentiments and probably had something to do with it. They might would have waited but had also learned that DeRuyter was Fresno's top target and they didn't think they could get a good replacement with Sherman in limbo. And they feared going into the SEC with a bad defense so they just pulled the plug. Sherman was a good coach…I don't know how high he could have taken us but wish they had kept him at that point. He had a really good class coming in but, as was the case with Sherman, it was much better on the offensive side.

---

And they thought Sumlin would bring good defense?

My recollection is that he and Byrne opposed it because they thought the Big XII was an "easier path" to the BCS. He certainly did not seem enthusiastic when asked about it in pressers.

A fatass with a 300-dollar-a-week vape bill would perform better than whatever is on the field at the moment. Someone see if Jamarcus Russell has any eligibility.

Biggest Mistake we ever Did was fire Sherman

He developed Jarrod Johnson until
The injury, developed tannehill, had one of the greatest offensive line programs in the ncaa, and had kids believing in the team.

Then we had to hire the con man….

---

Such a dumb comment. Sumlin did so much more here even after Johnny. Sherman struggled to win in the Big 12 and got blown out in bowl games

Mond was a QB developed here.

Mike Sherman was a .500 coach at A&M. I can appreciate what he did as an Oline evaluator and developer, but we need to tap the brakes a little on his overall success.

---

Yo9u have to take into account what a disaster he came into as well. Not saying he was super awesome, but A&M was a raging dumpster fire and had been for a while when he arrived.

Sherman's recruiting on the defensive side of the ball was dreadful

and the NFL agreed

(remember Von was a Fran recruit)

Weigman was a mess at A&M back in 2024 coming off an injury the prior year, overweight, off the field issues and his stats that year were not good. Could A&M have coached up Weigman better sure, but the majority of the blame lies with Weigman. He needed a change of scenery, more maturity and playing some weaker overall defenses to help his confidence this season. A&M and Coach Elko couldn't wait 2 more years to see if Weigman would mature and play better.

---

Seems all Elko does is wait on QBs to mature and play better. Most patient man ever

He also stopped smoking Weed, got over the injury bug, and gets to play Kansas instead of LSU

---

UH played (and beat) LSU less than a year ago

---

In a nobody gives a **** bowl, against an I don't give a **** attitude having LSU and without Weigman.

so back to Weigman...

ultimately he has lost the 2 biggest games cougar high will play this year

UH will finish with 8 to 9 meaningless wins

Most people have literally no ability to tell the difference between a quality opponent and a high school team. They see good numbers, a W, and start whining about how great he is and how bad we screwed up. Meanwhile, the guy hasn't beaten a high caliber defense since maybe his freshman year. He's a product of a very, very, very laughably weak conference. Nothing more. And he needed to be where he is now. Because he was just as bad as Reed when he was here. And no, its not because of coaching. Its because between the ears, he aint it.

The shine quickly came off of sleepy Sherman after game 1, when he lost to ARKANSAS STATE! I don't think many were all that excited about the hire....reeked of "EASY BUTTON" hiring.

But the Cesspit damned Sherman and Mond and Weigman...the exact same Cesspit that is damning Elko and Reed. You can't make this up. The same voices in the same tones who are demanding Elko and Reed lose their job...also demanded firing of Sherman and Sumlin and RC and Jimbo and pretty much every coach we've ever had. As soon as there was adversity, they got tossed under the bus by the Cesspit.

Immature people with no skin in the game. Just anger and emptiness which they direct on whoever is the nearest easiest targets.

---

This guy figured yall out.

Somehow Klein turned Marcel into a QB who was at least in the heisman race for about 10 weeks. If Klein can do that but couldn't help Wig put on his big boy britches, that might be a Wig problem, not an A&M coaching staff problem.

Y'all seem to forget he followed Fran and it was a different era in terms of recruiting and NIL. The cupboard was BARE. Of any of our hires since RC left, he's the only one I'd consider deserving of a chance at one more year. The killer was we were headed to the SEC and he was vocally against the move.

I'm sure having the softest schedule this side of your wife's pillowy, cellulite-ridden left butt cheek had absolutely nothing to do with that.

There was all that talk at the end of the year about how easy it was, and yet every Saturday the analysts and writers picked against us because, "A&M is a good team, but it's just hard in the SEC and every team CAN beat you," except they didn't beat us and then after we won, it was because, "oh, well ________ actually isn't that good this year." You can't put us on notice every week for a loss against a solid opponent and then logically say we are overrated after we beat the team that you picked to beat us.

• We went TO Notre Dame and won
• We beat an Auburn team that should've been 4-0 if refs hadn't let OU run an illegal trick play
• We beat a 4-1 Miss State team whose season fell apart after we played them because we injured their star RB
• Beat Florida by 3 scores
• Survived a rivalry game on the road at Arkansas
• Doubled up LSU in Death Valley (where nobody wins on the road, according to everyone at ESPN)
• Beat 6-2 Mizzou on the road
• Did what every good team does and started slow against South Carolina but had the 2nd half of the decade to win
• Our OC started his next job at about this time of the year so I don't want to keep going

The only bad teams we played were Florida, who we handled with ease, and Arkansas, which is a low grade rivalry on the road and we still won. Again, we were CONSTANTLY picked to lose against many of these teams because they were labeled as "good" before we made them look bad.
