I view the coaching change discussion as mostly fan fiction on the aggie end. They went 8-4 and The Elk isn’t likely to be wanting to just fire guys that he hired less than a year ago due to a few losses. Sarkisian didn’t face that kind of pressure after 5-7. 

And then there’s of course the fact that they’re cash poor with all the coaches they’re paying not to coach already. “Redneck rich” is different than rich.

You know deep down Elko is put out they’re not in for Justus Terry. 

[Redneck Mutha 8059]

And I believe they're already at 3 different OCs in the last 3 years. They're proposing that their 2022 recruiting class learn yet another playbook next year? 

2022 - Jimbo

2023 - Petrino

2024 - Klein

2025 - ???

Tan, rested, ready:

[Elmer_Fudd 22629]

Imagine being a 5* WR, watching that offense last night (and all season), and wanting to sign up for that.

[RabidM 2685]

Klein's overall numbers are actually pretty decent.  Like Greg Davis, the numbers lack the context of his bed shitting in certain situations and against good opponents.  However, there is a defense one can make based upon overall stat rankings and the fact that he had to change QB's mid season twice.  He'll be back next season.

i'm sure there's a more exhaustive post mortem to be done, but i'm really not all that mad at klein - he made some boneheaded decisions at certain points of the game and season, but so does every oc on earth. he was dealing with a chickenshit sandwich that got really bad once it was clear weigman's shouder / arm / brain was permanently broken and then without moss he just had very few buttons in which to push.

way more concerned with elko and what was supposed to be a guy that would instill physicality, sound play, etc - that defense down the stretch was a fucking joke, not filling gaps, not tackling, not doing much of anything. his poor in-game decisions basically cost us the auburn game and any chance we had to steal some late game drama on saturday. i still think the floor with him remains relatively high, but my theory will be pretty quickly tested this offseason. 

thankfully the eagle rare 17 delivered.

even with the portal turning over an OL that's full of lower ceiling guys is HARD. Drastically reduces your teams ceiling across the board - ask us how we know. Fully except you guys to get better at WR next year but that's an incrediblely low bar to hurdle based on the room this year.

Klein made some poor decisions but again like you mentioned it was a shit sandwich. How many of his Offensive coaches were already on staff when he was hired? Wouod sticking with Reed from day 1 have helped? Because Weigman isn't the QB for his system for sure (See Shane Buechele and Tom Herman)

This doesn't take a rocket scientist but the lack of athleticism at the LB position is a just killer for Elko - again ask me how I know...

It's going to be an interesting offseason for Elko. He has a mediocre coaching staff (see Tom Hermans first staff), he has to get a bunch of NIL dollars to bring in dudes, weaknesses at LB, OL, WR, still a very real question mark at QB, an OC who has to get better and has to play at ND, at LSU, at Arkansas, at Mizzou, at Texas next year.

Going to be interesting to see how he does.

Graham Harmon: Even after disappointing loss, recruiting experts penciling in 5-star WR to Texas A&M

Quote

Texas A&M football just took on a pretty tough loss on the field. The Aggies were right there with the no. 3 team in the country, but were unable to make some of the decisive plays they needed to in order to take control of the game. However, the atmosphere—as you'd expect at Kyle Field—was positively electric. It's a well-known fact that when things are rolling in the Home of the 12th Man, there's not a venue in America that can match it.

That atmosphere could still pay off bigtime for the Aggies, as they hosted a bevy of highly-rated recruits, and are looking to pull off some big flips before signing day. The first one of those may be in the pipeline.

Texas A&M football now considered leader in the clubhouse for Jerome Myles after 5-star WR decommits from Southern Cal

Earlier this evening, eyebrows were raised around the recruiting landscape when five-star wide receiver Jerome Myles, out of Corner Canyon, Utah, decommitted from Southern Cal. It was reported that he was in College Station this weekend, but USC insiders had been saying that visit never came to fruition—now, though, it's looking like the Trojan faithful may have had some bad information. Almost as soon as that transpired, the predictions came rolling in for another team to land him. That team, of course, is the Texas A&M Aggies.

This is just the commit that the Aggies need, in the worst way. They need an infusion of talent at the receiver spot, and Myles would help the Aggies tremendously. With the early signing period beginning this Wednesday, A&M could make some serious noise with some of the momentum they have coming off of this game.

I would really love to hear what makes Elko a high floor HC. You just admitted the narrative of football guy who coaches up his players hasn’t actually come to fruition, and he’s not known as a good recruiter nor does he look like he’s good at hiring.

Segment 1 (00:00:00 - 11:54:14)

• "Fog" is a good word. When the season ends in a loss, it sucks, but everything is magnified by a million. I heard one of you, David or Olin, say this is what Aggies were afraid of when Texas joined the SEC. That is a big part of the problem. As stupid as I think the little brother thing is, that is where it comes from.
   
• When I got to Texas A&M, they were routinely beating Texas. It was not far removed from Jackie Sherrill's time, who established that, and R.C. Slocum was obviously still here. I remember when A&M lost to Texas in 1995. I didn't realize A&M could lose to Texas. That is when it shifted. Dennis Franchione, ironically, beat them twice. Mike Sherman beat them once.
   
• There was a mindset that A&M wouldn't lose, and they were the tone-setter. That started to change with Mack Brown and Ricky Williams.
   
• This rivalry is always about physicality and going out and taking it. One team played for 60 minutes like they were the aggressor and took control of the lines of scrimmage. The Aggies were too late to that party. They got into the fistfight too late.
   
• A&M produced a couple of massive plays, but they couldn't get enough.
   
• Throughout the Aggies' time in the SEC without Texas, A&M would have really controlled and run the rivalry. People say the records aren't that different. A&M was far more physical and better on the lines of scrimmage. The draft picks told the tale. The Aggies had playmakers on offense under Kevin Sumlin. That is a period when you weren’t playing them.
   
• When I looked at Texas' players on the lines of scrimmage, they looked like all the other top-end SEC teams we have played over the years. They have not looked like that leading into the run-up to the SEC.
   
• The gap between Texas and Oklahoma was noticeably different. Oklahoma seemed to be getting smaller, while Texas was getting bigger and bigger. Texas has always had the skill players and athletes. Texas won the physical battle. You saw that on Saturday.
   
• A&M has to get back to winning the physical battle. Not just to beat Texas but to compete in the SEC. South Carolina got you on that front. The Aggies and LSU both need to address those issues. Auburn did not beat you physically. Georgia would have gotten you there. Tennessee would be problematic. The Aggies are a little light up the middle on defense. They don't have an anchor in there. The linebackers are undersized. Other teams saw that and went after it.
   
• If there was a lesson from the game this weekend, it’s that the more physical team would win. When Vince Young played the Aggies in Austin, the Aggies led at halftime. They fed the ball to Cedric Benson for the entire second half to beat A&M. A year later, Vince barely got by the Aggies.
   
• When A&M won 12-7 down there, it was because of the physicality on the lines of scrimmage. Texas could not convert on fourth-and-1. They flipped the script here on Saturday. That goal-line play at the end of the game on Saturday was indicative of the entire game. The more physical team won that play and the game. That is the painful lesson you go into the offseason with.
   
• I was demolished on social media this weekend. We all have to hear it, just like Texas fans would have had to hear it if A&M had won. You don't want to lose to them ever. You had a 13-year headstart and are at your place. The Aggies had a direct say in who went to the SEC Championship Game.
   
• It is year four under Steve Sarkisian and year one and game No. 12 under Mike Elko. There is a massive difference there. No one wants to hear that we are calling year one “progress.” I get why. You lost the last three SEC games, and the defense couldn't stop anybody. There are questions about the direction of the offense.
   
• They need to figure out why they can't get a yard when you need it. Why don't you kick those if you're not picking it up and not built to do it yet? I like Elko thinking that if his team can get a yard, he will try and get it. It is the Dan Campbell mentality to a degree. The short-yardage woes played a huge factor in the South Carolina and Texas losses.
   
• It will be interesting moving forward as Elko builds this program. It will be interesting to see if this game on Saturday is a sign of things to come or if we will look back and go, "Remember when they couldn't even get a yard?" You can't sit here and go through another year where this is costing you games. You better fix that part of it.
   
• Elko is not scared to lose to Texas. He would be the first to tell you we are trying to get out of that mindset around here. To do that, he knows he must have a team to get that yard. Do you kick it now and go for it later when you are more equipped, or do you try to get it now because you should? Turns out you weren't good enough to get it. One day, you better be good enough to do that.

Segment 2 (11:54:15 - 13:05:16)

• I dont think there's anything untrue about the quote, "This season doesn't feel any different than the 1998 season and every other season in the last 10 years." You look at first-year coaches, and this is very similar to Jimbo Fisher's first season. The difference is that you beat LSU at the end but lost to Texas. This Texas team is much like the Clemson team you lost to earlier in the season. Couple of top-10 teams this season. This year felt different for a lot of it because of that start.
   
• It left a sour taste, not just the Texas game but losing those last three. I was corrected on the site, and if they had beaten Auburn, they would've been in Atlanta. In hindsight, that one hurts me more than any of them.

Segment 4 (15:42:22 - 25:08:29)

• Everything about this season has been tough to analyze and break down, even as the Aggies were winning to get 7-1.
   
• You knew Notre Dame would have staying power. You couldn't feel great about it because you should have won that game. You were so concerned with the way Conner Weigman played.
   
• You beat the brakes off Missouri, but they had been untested. Missouri turned out to be alright. They weren't one of the best teams in the country, but you still beat a top-10 team at home and looked really good in doing it. Even then, you looked at the end of the schedule and would not have been OK with 0-3. Hell no.
   
• I wanted to see A&M go 2-1 in those last three. Had they done that in any fashion, they would be in Atlanta. Individually, you knew each of those games would be difficult. You knew that the Aggies weren't that much better than Arkansas. You knew Missouri was not elite.
   
• You knew the game against LSU had much to do with the quarterback change. LSU leaned into too many excuses. The Aggie defense was dominant. Le’Veon Moss and Amari Daniels imposed their will against that defense. LSU was trying to excuse it because of the quarterback change, but there were other issues that led to the Tigers losing that game.
   
• Watching this season up until South Carolina, you knew A&M was still a part of a pack of teams. They had continued to figure out ways to win. They had shown so much toughness and grit. They were embracing the grind of these football games. They were figuring out ways to win. That impressed me in the first year of a new head coach.
   
• They weren't taking the field with an overwhelming talent edge against these teams. Just like Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee, they could not survive an off Saturday. You knew that off Saturday was about to come. The off Saturday came at South Carolina.
   
• There are a million ways that the Auburn game goes. I'll cling to the fact that you can't start down 21-0 on the road.
   
• The Aggies ran into a better team against Texas. We said all week that they would have to play mistake-free football and take advantage of their chances. They did not do that soon enough.
   
• I see why people are torn about how this season went. The Aggies were 7-1 and 5-0 in the SEC, but they finished 0-3 in conference play. You can look at it through the lens of a missed opportunity. The football gods kept handing the Aggies opportunities, but they were not easy opportunities. Alabama and Ole Miss losing handed you another chance against Texas to get to Atlanta.
   
• You created your opportunities within the Texas game alone. They forced a fumble against Quinn Ewers, tipped a pass that caused a pick-six and blocked a punt. They created those opportunities, but they could not capitalize.
   
• 8-4 records can look different. It would look and feel different if you had started 0-3 in the SEC, won five in a row and beat Texas.
   
• People come here and say we are too worried about Texas. My ass. If you work or compete here and don't have a burning desire to beat anything in burnt orange, then maybe this isn't the place for you. That is your arch-rival. It is like Michigan-Ohio State and Alabama-Auburn. You can understand that and still understand that they are not the end-all-be-all of the season. Texas has an elite athletic department. They are back to being a top-five football program. You will always have to earn it against them. The game against them is bigger than just one game.
   
• Had the Aggies beaten Auburn, you are playing Texas again for the SEC Championship. Everyone would be excited and looking for revenge. It would be a million times more fun than where we are, but every question about next year and this program would still be here. They would not have all gone away because of one play against Auburn. The way the season is viewed and felt would be completely different. It does not change what the Aggies can or can't accomplish in 2025 or under Elko. It could have changed if the Aggies had beaten Texas in Atlanta.

Segment 5 (25:08:30 - 27:42:28)

• A&M had key injuries, particularly in the backfield. They were pretty healthy otherwise. The injury to Moss changed a lot.
   
• Everyone is talking about Collin Klein, and I wouldn't say I liked the fourth-down play. I saw so much creativity throughout the season from him. Also, you look at how Moss could get that yard. They were finding ways to score and get yards through the season. You forced them.
   
• If you could have avoided the mistakes and made one or two more plays, that game at least is very interesting, and you let the 12th Man become a factor.

Segment 6 (27:42:29 - 34:56:27)

• Signing day is getting interesting quickly. We could have some interesting news today. This class is starting to look good. The finish of the 2025 class could shock some folks around the SEC and the country. The 2026 class we know is off to a sensational start.
   
• I am personally most excited about the transfer portal, which opens on Dec. 9. I think this is where cElko will thrive. I will be honest about which losses you should be worried about and which you shouldn't. That won't be 100 percent accurate, but it will be close. I will tell you when keeping someone is a big deal.
   
• I would have said that about Daniels last year. That dude did everything he could. Without him, I don't know what we would have done in the running game. The running game was OK against South Carolina and pretty good against Auburn.
   
• There are guys that you get in the portal, like Cashius Howell and Ar’maj Reed-Adams, that you don't throw a party for, but they end up being good contributors. Tre Watson and BJ Mayes are examples. There will be a lot of those.
   
• Last year, Elko and the part of his staff that was here by that point had less than a month to work with the portal. They had very little chance there but still did an excellent job. This time around, they have been here the whole time. This time around is when we see some pretty damn exciting additions.
   
• Last year, the only transfers who moved the needle were Nic Scourton, Dezz Ricks and Will Lee III to some degree. Scourton was the Big Ten sacks leader, and Ricks is a former five-star. You will see a lot more of that this year. That is what I am most excited about.
   
• I am also excited to see which guys pass up the NFL. I don't mean guys who could go early. I mean those who will go in the third or later rounds. Come back for your senior year. Edgerrin Cooper, Jake Matthews, Cedric Ogbuehi and Germain Ifedi all did that and benefitted. There will likely be several Aggie players that the staff would want back that will be in that boat. They will have a tough decision. It would be wise for some of them to come back. We will see if Elko and NIL can convince them of that.
   
• To me, this is a fun time. It is not fun not to be playing this weekend, and it is not fun to have gone through these last three SEC games. This is a lot of fun because it shapes our excitement level going into next season, and we will spend much of the offseason talking about it.

They could have had 1989 Bo Jackson in the backfield and they wouldn't have got that yard the way Broughton and Burke blew it up.

I love how whenever they beat a team that was ranked, it remains a ranked victory all fucking year, even after the team proves to be dog shit. But when Texas doesn’t, well, we all see that Michigan wasn’t a good team and Texas didn’t actually play anybody.

“Moss would have gotten 4th down play”  WTF - a 260 lb DE wrapped the RB up 4 yards into the backfield and about 3 more guys met him to clean it up

[Duane Moore 5369]

I can’t think of a stronger argument against conference championship games than the thought that if ATM had beat Auburn we’d be playing them again in Atlanta on Saturday. 

[RomaVicta 30093]

Not really, William. Ya'll were dining off of the phrase "on top of the SEC" and the gutty victory over the Bowling Green Seniors. Ask any geologist:

 

1 Now, William, is it or isn't it the QB change? You don't think Moss and Daniels benefitted from the threat of Reed?

2 Other issues? The Tigers are a comparable team to the dog-ass Aggies. Like Mizzou, this victory was not what you wanted to believe it was.

 

The below sounds like the culture they were celebrating in the summer when the guys were lifting weights, throwing footballs, showing up at practice (!), and putting on their jerseys correctly.

Really specific stuff there. Every team does those things or has those things. They're football teams. Impressive! 

Future's bright, though! Portal Dreams:

Gonna be great!

The issue this year was schedule inequity. Need a pod or division setup. I think the major conferences could also look into making the last week of the year adjustable to create a semifinal system. 

Then the CFP needs to fix their seeding issue (AQs should be for entry, not a bye, and re-seed after each round). 

Two minor fixes and the major complaints from this year are gone and CFB is in a great place (NIL/portal will take longer to sort). But keep conference championships. A sport with 130+ teams needs more than 1 definition of success.

They overachieved. I thought they were headed for 7-5. Admittedly that could've been my lack of understanding of aggy dynamics and that all roads lead to 8-4.

A few notes (some have been touched on):

So Elko wasn’t aware it was line of skirmmage league, Billy? Why not?

Elmo Fudd the defensive guru can’t teach tackling or gap integrity?

To mention Mizzou and top 10 in the same breath is laughable.

Boohoo injuries, you excuse making pussy. Our QB and top 2 WRs are full gimps and we lost our Doak Walker RB. Oh and our top 10 draft pick starting LT in the game. Guess what, depth counts.

Anyway go ahead and put on the wall all those wins in the games you were too scared to play.

And way to not mention your offense scored zero fucking points. Just 1 or 2 more plays lulz. This close. 😂

The others were mid-to-bottom of the class and have outshined the heralded highly ranked guys. This is the kind of class that destroys a program.

I really hope there is a 30/30, Netflix doc, whatever done on that class.

Maybe TexAgs can revive their documentary skills?

Who will he throwing the ball to Myles? They don't Hava a QB. Or at least they  don't have a good OB, even if they go portal shopping. Kid must have earrly onset CTE if he chooses aggy. 

Funny you say that.  I mentioned in the game thread me and a buddy ran into and spoke to Looch at a bar post-game.  He claimed there were discussions with reps for Lagway when the Florida season was going sideways early and it looked like Napier would be out, but with the turnaround in Gainesville, the FL NIL $$ is real, matching any offers, and that is off the table.  Looking at recruiting thread maybe that FL NIL boost is a real thing across the board.  But to the extent that was actually playing out, I'm damn glad it didn't happen as I think Lagway is the real deal.  We have to play him next year anyways, but long term would prefer that he be in FL next 2 years than Aggy.

Totally. I would rather him in FL as well because they have Lagway. Lagway is the real deal, which is good for FL, but they will give us issues if they grt weapons around him. Kid is just incredible..

Throughout the Aggies' time in the SEC without Texas, A&M would have really controlled and run the rivalry. People say the records aren't that different. A&M was far more physical and better on the lines of scrimmage. The draft picks told the tale. The Aggies had playmakers on offense under Kevin Sumlin. That is a period when you weren’t playing them.

That’s the good stuff right there. aggy remains undefeated in games they haven’t played. I fully expect them to start adding 13 wins to their all time record moving forward.

I just don’t see how a five star receiver would roll the dice like that, even if they are getting a nice check to join. They are potentially screwing up millions of not tens of millions of dollars for what essentially is a coin flip that it will work out. I guess he believes he can transfer if it fails, but that’s a risk too if you haven’t put up good numbers  

 

He's got some "family" that has some debts.
