A&M is terrible

[FlotownDawg]

Third year in a row with a November meltdown. Is Sumlin gone? He has a losing SEC record since Manzeil's Heisman year in 2012. I imagine his seat is red hot.

Sumlin will probably have a Les Myles year

next year although his end may be slightly later in the season.

You can't fire a coach who had his team in the playoff rankings.**

Sumlin is tapped out. He is what he is. Same every year.

When the tea-sips get a shiny new coach the Ags will freak out and Sumlin`s days will be numbered (if they aren`t already). It`s what they do.

Texas A&M just lacks physicality on Defense and even a bit on Offense. And they will fade down the stretch of their schedule every year until they address it.

In my opinion, having a physical Offense / Power Running game not only helps your Offense but it helps your Defense become more physical too. During practice you have to run your RBs (because that's your Offense) and that forces your DL and LBs to have to tackle tough runners---so your Defense gets tougher and becomes better tacklers. Think about how many physical / power running Offenses also seem to have good Defenses---Alabama, LSU, Stanford, Michigan State, Wisconsin, etc. Now think about how many less physical Spread Offenses seem to have an average to poor Defense---Oregon, Texas Tech, Houston, MSU, Louisville, any Big 12 team, etc.

Houston is a top 20 defense both years under Orlando. Ohio State is top 5 last 2 years. Michigan St was blown out by a similar offense in Alabama last year. And until this year our defense has not been just avg or poor. 36th, 23rd and 33rd the 3 prior years.

Yeah you're right about Houston. I can attribute the 48 they gave up to Memphis today on the on going bidding war for their Head Coach---not sure if he will end up in Baton Rouge or Austin but I am sure that his Bank Account is about to get a LOT bigger.

Well I guess we met our Defensive goals when we played South Carolina, but all the other games...not so good.

The best part of this post is at the bottom where the "show less" arrow is! Good grief our defense gave up a lot of points to some crappy teams this year!
