ESPN chronicles the history of Aggy coaching misery....

[Aqua Buddha 14653]

Not a bad read.  They basically get it right in that Aggy has more balls than brains and thinks that if they just throw money at a coach, everything else will fall in line.  Jimbo is just the latest example:

"I was chatting with [Ohio State coach] Woody [Hayes]," said Notre Dame's Terry Brennan during a speech at the Columbus Touchdown Club. "I find he hasn't been approached about the Texas A&M job either. We feel ignored or neglected, for we must be the only two coaches who haven't been contacted."

LOL.  They have a long history of trying to money whip themselves into college football elite status.  How's that worked out for them?

"Bryant famously left to return to Alabama after four seasons, because "Mama called" him to his alma mater."

Ahem, Bryant ran away when DKR showed up because Bryant KNEW DKR would kick his ass. And DKR did, every fucking time they played.

Ps.

Think of all the fancy new title claims they could put up on Pyle Field for the money they’ve thrown at these coaches.

You're gonna need a bigger chronicle.

Perfectly captures aggy delusion. My favorite paragraph:

 

The Aggies hired Wichita State coach Hank Foldberg, who was coveted by Nebraska, as the new athletic director and coach in 1962. He went 6-23-1. Nebraska managed to console themselves by hiring Bob Devaney, who went 101-20-2 with two national titles.
