Yep. When a program gets too ****y and thinks they can win no matter the coach, that program is destined for failure. When you have a good coach, HOLD ONTO HIM! They don't grow on trees. Your program is only as good as the coaches you hire.
They were very fortunate to have Jimbo after Bowden. He's no Saban/Meyer/Swinney, but he's a **** good coach who knows how to recruit good talent, develop QBs, and he will keep TAMU a ranked, competitive program in spite of their limitations dealing with Texas and OU in their backyard. Should have just given him what he wanted. Guarantee those idiots in Tally wish they had a do-over.
They've been an abortion mess the past 4 years and will be for another 4 at least. I remember telling some of their younger idiot fans during the Golden days that every program (Bama included) goes through cycles. They legitimately thought they were so immune to having a bad program because 'they were run so well by a strong administration.' I just laughed and shook my head.
Dumbasses... Had to learn the hard way. Reality is, they are going to be even worse next season once the upperclassmen opt out or quit, because Taggart did not restock the shelves and Norvell will not be able to sell recruits on anything. I don't see any young players on that team I fear facing over the next 3-4 years.
Those boys are doomed, and you just hate to see it.
