they should have never fired Sherman - he should have just hired an OC and they would have been set. The O-Line he built there was dynasty level shit.

I have discussed this very point with an aggy friend of mine.

I don't think Sherman would have had the same 1st year success as Sumlin, due to the unfamiliarity in the SEC with that offense Sumlin was running but they still would have been very good.

Longer term, Sherman's quality line recruiting and development would have paid dividends.

Sherman had some bad years at the beginning due to the craziness of the big 12 offenses and lack of existing talent but had them on the right track.

As usual, aggy failed to fully take advantage of the conference move and a "down" Texas program.

Sadly, I'm not sure you need the quotes around the word down. 

Until last year we'd been wandering the desert for over a decade.

Gerry- "According to sources, Texas A&M wide receiver Evan Stewart is a strong candidate to enter his name into the NCAA Transfer portal. The portal window opens December 4.

Stewart is not expected to travel with the Aggies to LSU this week.

According to sources, Alabama is considered the team to beat. Ohio State, Texas and Oregon, among others, are also expected to be under consideration.

The 6-foot, 175-pound former 5-star prospect hauled in 53 passes for 649 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman in 2022. He has 38 receptions for 514 yards and four scores this season."

He also mentioned on a live stream that Texas will be very selective. Then today said something about mature WRs but cleaned it up by saying in production terms.

I’ve thought this about Sherman for years. He was so close to getting aggy over the hump but the painful close loses blinded them to just how close they really were.

He has to coach to keep getting paid due to the NFL's "duty to mitigate" clause in coaches' contracts

Would Stewart be a fit here? He strikes me as a douchebag primadonna.

Expand  

Why do you say that?  I haven't followed his time at aggy closely, but I haven't seen any indications of him being any more of a prima donna than most other WRs.

I mean I'd have be frustrated with Jimbo's offense too if I were him.

I am pretty sure Sark wants nothing to do with Stewart after his recruitment.

Expand  

Again, why?  He decommitted.  So what, happens all the time and it was Sarks first year.  Sark didn't have an issue taking Ewers.

Plus, if anyone knows that personal growth is possible it's Sark.  I doubt he'd hold Stewart's recruitment against him.  He was an 18 yo kid being pulled in many directions.

I'd like to see Sark kick the tires if nothing else.

Aggy I get.  I would have quit on Dumbo too.

here's the wfaa text article:

  Reveal hidden contents

"It was my decision, my recommendation," Bjork says. "President [Mark] Walsh agreed. You take that to Chancellor [John] Sharp. He agreed."

Dear Ross: whose decision was it to write a 10-year guaranteed deal?  Whose decision was it to extend during the rona?  Who insisted on insertion of the language about "coach recognizes his job is important...."

Who?

i thought Evan Stewart got suspended and then "opted out" from Frisco Liberty? was it @closetojumping who shared some insight here or someone else back then? don't want to call him out if he doesn't remember but looks like he said it was being a general shithead + drug test failure maybe?

in his recruit thread @Scholz heard he was suspended for a week for claiming to have COVID to get out of practice, then he opted out a few days later.

Yes I can vouch.  I know a teacher at Frisco Liberty.  He's a flake and a quitter.  Hard pass.

He also committed and then decommitted from Texas inside of a month and lied to the coaching staff a lot.  He has been a pain in the ass at ATM and has now quit on 2 teams in a row.  Let someone else be the 3rd.

I'm still down for Sark to kick the tires.  Losing AD, Worthy and Whitt is gonna hurt.  If he's grown at all I'd give him a shot.

IIRC, Blue and Ewers both skipped their senior seasons too, and Ewers was a bit of a prima donna when he got here.  I think the locker rooms is strong enough now to deal with players like that.

But I'm not terribly invested either way.

I'm not worried about WR.  We've got dudes and Sark has shown he knows how to work the portal.  Receivers want to play in his offense and we've got QBs with draw.

Yeah honestly I'm not sure what aggy affords us in the portal.  They have some front 7 defensive talent that could be interesting but we need DB support and none of their WR move the needle enough (except maybe Moose) to overlook the issues and the rest of their offense is a hard pass.

I can understand that, but do you really want him going to an SEC team we'll have to play? I'd rather they make amends and have him come join Cook next season.

His success there is far from assured.  He has to make it through Spring Ball first and not end up on Saban's shit list.  I think we can do better.  Most people had no clue who Mitchell was this time last year.

This where I'm at. Their front is solid and they haven't even gotten coached by Hop In the Portal yet.

Cooper's forced fumble, 11 tackles, and 3 sacks against Alabama was just meh right?  Like I get talking shit just maybe get closer to the target
