Is this recruiting haul benefitting from a down season and not going to a bowl? Would the coaching staff otherwise be occupied with bowl preparation instead of recruiting and thus miss out on a few of these blue chips?
Not when this was the year you would win your division finally. lol You're putting lipstick on a pig. I'm not defending Texas, but then again, this never was supposed to be our year. We had a 1st year HC and a new system on both sides of the ball. Aggy didn't have those challenges.
But it’s year 4 for their $100mm coach with preseason top 5 ranking. And they just bid against themselves to add 4 more years guaranteed. Jumbo Shrimp is 34-14 in 4 years at atm. Sumlin was 36-16 in 4 years. Great year.
It’s always a down year if you lose to aggy.
No respect is due. We played our season with a back up QB and an sieve for an offensive line. Jumbo was hired as a QB whisperer who had 4 years to develop depth at the position that he didn’t develop. No matter how you slice it a disappointing year for aggy.
And by the way all their years since about 1939 have been “not our years”. Except for that year in the 2000s they won the 1919 national championship.
Aggy went 8-4, not 7-3. Where did that come from?
He may be talking about our year last year. We fired our coach after a 7-3 year being tired of “not our years”.
If we went 8-4 or 7-3, that is a "not our year" year.
We weren't ready for prime time.
