I don't think Rodney was an experimental hire; most people knew his prior head coaching record suggested it was unlikely to work out. However, he performed so well in a difficult situation that he earned a chance. When he got hired, I mentally started counting down to who would be the next elite hire, as it was clear Terry wasn't the answer.

Of course. But the "replacing a successful head coach who departs unexpectedly with a well-respected staff member to keep the team together" strategy doesn't work out too often. At least Terry made a deep tournament run as HC. Earley hasn't done shit.

Exactly….Rodney was given a chance, a fair chance to get our program up and running….things don’t always work out.

I realized recently that there’s a better than decent chance that the coaches listed in Liucci’s ‘next come the championships’ tweet win more championships for Texas than for A&M

I mean, there's no chance they win more for A&M so sure.

Is aggy the only people keeping the overall makers in business? I know my PaPa wore them in the 70s working his land/small farm in Leona. I rarely see them “in the wild”today, unless they’re “painted up” by aggy. I guess because “Farmers Fight?”

My PaPa carried so much stuff in his overalls that it probably took him 15 minutes to stuff the pockets each morning, while drinking coffee for sunrise. He always had some of that 2cent bubble gum that the flavor only lasted about two- three minutes. One morning he even pulled out a derringer and shot a snake headed to the hen house! I’d spend weeks each Summer with them, as I was a “city boy” and he’d put me to age appropriate work.

He had a bumpy ass road leading off the feeder from IH-45. Once off that FM Road and on the entrance to “Bumpy,” he park and say drive us home! About a 3/4 mile stretch. At like 9-10, I could barely press the clutch all the way in order to shift the gears behind the steering wheel and with the bumps could never go from 2-3rd. He’d just say that 2nd was fine, as we’re in no hurry.

Hook’em!!!
