I’ll take the flip side of this.

We are coming off another season of starting ranked top 25 - finishing unranked. We fired the coach that we gave a ridiculous amount of money and a plaque for an undated National Championship. Much of our talent - and certainly our depth - has high-tailed it out of town. “Seen ‘em win, seen ‘em lose, never seen ‘em quit”? Can’t say that anymore. We are the poster child for pissing away money, talent and fan support.

We are in a conference with its shiny new toys - Texas with a Big12 championship and CFP appearance - OU with a 10-win season - both firmly entrenched in our recruiting backyard and far ahead of us in the rankings.
Georgia, Bama, LSU, Mizzou, Ole Miss coming off 10+ win seasons. Three of them with NCs in the last few years, one with the top recruiting class in the nation and at least in the convo for a NC next year.

We are at the kiddie table. Hoping Arky, Miss State, Auburn and Vandy keep us out of the cellar. “8-4” isn’t an insult - it’s an objective.

It really is every bit as dire as that, and I actually like the Elko hire.

A&M will never win a football conference championship in my life time, let alone a national one. There’s simply too many top level programs in the conference now, and the ags ain’t one of ‘em. Maybe a drastic sea change takes place when this current “leadership” dies off, and the next generation emerges with new ideas, but I can’t see it.
