Hear me now and listen to me later.
Ladies & Gents,
Charlie Strong will be just fine. He's been on the job 6 months.
Of course aggy is taking this change in leadership to tout their own product. Here's the deal though; their product sucks. It has for a long time, and will continue to suck. With the best player they've seen since John David Crow and three first round draft choices, they managed to finish tied for 7th in the $EC with a 4-4 record, and beat.....wait for it.....perennial football powerhouse DUKE in the (woo-hoo,) Chik-fil-A bowl....by 4 points.
Let it go. Let them have their fun. Don't get so worked up by their antics.
I liken their recent marketing ploy to those of The Sham-Wow, Miss Cleo's Psychic Hotline, The Thigh Master and Ronco GLH Formula #9 Spray-On Hair. All products heavily marketed, but at the end of the day, targeted towards the masses that watch late-night TV and will buy anything.
At some point, a successful marketing campaign must include proven results. So far, aggy has had zero proven results on the field. Outside of a fluke/miracle victory against Alabama two years ago, what have they done?
Nothing.
Yes, you read that right, nothing.
Sure, Kevin Sumlin has hashtags, billboards, Twitter, club DJ's, Snoop Dog shoes and grandiose helicopter entries. But all of that is smoke and mirrors.
Until Sumlin actually proves something on the field for an entire season, he is nothing more than a Snake-Oil Salesman. That's all he has to "sell" right now. Nothing of substance.
So let's just tap the brakes and step back a bit. Look at this "campaign" for what it really is; a huge crock of shit.
The smart ones will see through this.
