[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 977634, member: 282"] Some of you were happy to see this thread fall off the front page. Here’s an Athletic (paywall) story about how it all fell apart for Jimbo Fisher at A&M: [URL]https://theathletic.com/5085961/2023/11/24/jimbo-fisher-texas-am-firing-record/?source=user_shared_article[/URL]Jimbo Fisher’s failures left Texas A&M well short of national championship dreams Some of it is going to be people taking potshots at a coach on his way out the door. However: [LIST=1] [*]Post-Jamious Winston, he hasn’t developed a QB, and mostly he’s run them off or burned them out. Many have done better after leaving, after the new coaches unteach what he’s taught [*]He has a focus on recruiting rankings compared to roster building, and shortchanged discipline and recruiting for need. [*]As part of (2), the offensive line suffered and got worse year-over-year. It took forever to undo what Jimbo did to the FSU offensive line, and A&M is in the same position [*]His offense is considered “antiquated”. He brought in Bobby Petrino to fix it, then didn’t let him bring in his offense or really let him call plays. (Not championing Petrino here). Maybe some of the same going on with Dabo at Clemson. [*]Multiple coaches and staff reported that he not only wouldn’t listen to a different opinion, but if you disagreed with him then he constantly belittled you. [*]At two consecutive stops with well funded athletic programs, he’s burned bridges with athletic donors. [/LIST] It also lists prospective coaches. [LIST] [*]Elko from Duke [*]Traylor from USTA [*]Leipold from Kansas [*]Jedd Fisch from Arizona. [/LIST] I’m thinking Fisch might be a good fit. Arizona is a much-improved team, and the athletic department is having funding issues. [/QUOTE]
