FIRED: Mike Locksley(HOW?), Mike Sherman (Was he awake?), Turner Gill (Duh)

With our focus shifting to the Big 12 it’s time to jump into the fray. It’s not fair to let BON have all the fun.

Sumlin may jump to A&M, who knows, but what I like is the arrogance of Aggies who assume A&M is a better position. That’s not a slam dunk assumption. When you look at the talented coaches who have graced their sideline, but who have relatively little to show for it, you have to wonder if the problem is institutional. At some point you have to stop blaming the coaches and look in the mirror.

I’m no fan of UH, but they are similarly situated to TCU in that they are, as of now, on the outside looking in. They had to get to the eve of a likely BCS berth the hard way. But they are here. A&M hasn’t been close in over a decade. A&M hasn’t won a New Years Day bowl since I was a sophomore at TCU (for any Aggie trolls I will save you the math – that was a long time ago).

If you’re in it for the money, then A&M is a good move as head coach. If, however, you prefer to avoid a program that will face hard times for at least the next few years, and where you likely won’t last more than a few seasons, if that, and where you will take the blame for failure or mediocrity despite other glaring institutional problems, then A&M is your coaching equivalent of the bubonic plague. Hold your breath and stay as far away as possible.

to not have to worry about the UT DC having numerous rumors of their departure. Man a lot of programs got rid of their coaches this year.

Beergut thinks that A&M is too good of a place for Gary Patterson. http://www.iamthe12thman.com/2011/12/2/2605646/air-raid-in-aggieland#

1. It won’t happen, so there is really no point discussing it. CGP may leave at some point, and I hope not, but not now, and certainly not for a shite-hole of a program like A&M.

He has taken a small program abandoned in the non-AQ wilderness and turned it into a team that went toe-to-toe against a scary good and much bigger Wisconsin squad, and which arguably could have played for the title last year.

He is three wins away from becoming the all-time winningest coach in TCU history. They will name buildings after him and erect statues in his honor.

Bottom line, A&M isn’t fit to carry CGP’s shoes, so stop flattering yourself.

2. A&M has already taken one successful TCU coach and turned him into a pariah loser. CGP is far too intelligent to make the same mistake Fran did.

3. Beergut knocks CGP for losing to Baylor and SMU. Yes, Beergut, make stupid comments like that, because that’s all you can do. A&M’s best team in years could only manage a 6-6 record, but that should be enough for you to tell anyone this side of Turner Gill that he isn’t good enough for you.

TCU won the Rose Bowl last season and is sitting at 9-2 in what was thought to be a rebuilding year, having stunned a Top 5 BSU team that hadn’t lost at home since before A&M last mattered to anyone.

Baylor is having a 100-year season due primarily to one incredible player, and they played TCU in the first game of the season where TCU broke in new players at several key positions, and they still came up just two points short of a win. By that same logic, Bob Stoops is not good enough to coach A&M because he lost to Baylor.

Regarding SMU, Beergut and his fathead Aggie homers piss and moan about “The Phantom Penalty” as the reason why they lost to UT. Did they watch what happened in the SMU game? Of course not. After that debacle, did TCU hang it up and mope for the rest of the season, or did they move on and take it to BSU a few weeks later?

4. Aggie stupid – you just can’t make it up.
