Jimbo and Addazio need to go, but we have a culture problem that pervades the university and athletic program.
We ask ourselves "why why why are we so unlucky".
We have almost everything needed to succeed in football. Resources. Program in a recruiting hotbed. NIL sponsorship. SEC TV contracts. The only Texas program in the SEC (going away). The best facilities. National championship winning coaches. Unmatched donor support for the football program.
We have everything except a winning culture.
We lose the big games. Over and over and over.
Aggies are loyal. Friendly. We're nice. We lose a game and say "we'll get em next year" and next year's win never comes, because there's a pair of bad losses for every good win we do manage. We suck at holding the athletics program accountable.
We want to win so badly, we pack the stadiums and boost the TV ratings. We're a profitable, mediocre football program. We throw more money at the problem that never gets fixed. Outside of JFF 2012 season and 1998 conf champion season, we field an undisciplined, inconsistent on field product every single year.
We set new records for coaching contracts. We yell proudly that surely, this next coach will bring us to the promised land. And it never does. We have all the talent in the world and can't pull it together. We consistently play not to lose and rarely ever play to win.
Coaching is a problem, sure. But we have a deep-seated culture problem and no one can tell me we don't after our horrendous results year after year after year.
Wanna know what program's fans don't sell out the house when their on field product sucks?
Michigan. Remember Brady hoke? How's the program doing now?
Texas. Remember Chollie? Mensa? How's the program doing now?
Can go on and on. And change happens in these programs, usually fast.
Where's the killer instinct? Where's the grit? When's the last time we've had a season we haven't lost a game we should have won handily?
Johnny was great for us. Not only was the most electric QB to ever play college football, he was also the antithesis of our culture.
Bama scores a TD? "**** that. **** Nick Saban. We're scoring right ****ing now on this drive". Where was that confidence and moxy from the team today? Our fans sure as heck don't have it, either.
I'm tired of us being "nice" and saying "wait til next year" every single year as we continue to prop up an undisciplined, volatile football program with unwavering support.
At some point, when we consistently lose over and over and never know what kind of team is going to show up on any Saturday after bringing in proven coach after proven coach, it's not just the coaching at fault.
