[QUOTE="Techster, post: 812453, member: 360"] You're still missing the point. What was TX A&M's record with RC Slocum? It's convenient you picked a period in time that fits your narrative. But once TX A&M started to not meet their standards, they started firing coaches. Kevin Sumlin started off beating 'Bama with Manziel, then he fell down to 8 wins a season...which isn't bad, but not to TX A&M's standards. He got fired. AGAIN...success is relative. Kentucky winning 7-9 games is great. Vandy winning 7-9 games is great...and they did it under James Franklin. Miss State winning 7-9 games is great...and they were ecstatic when Dan Mullen was doing that. Win 7-9 games a season at Texas and OU and you get fired (See Tom Herman and Charlie Strong). No one is saying TX and OU can't win in the SEC...they very much should win in the SEC given their resources and ability to recruit just off their name. Texas and OU fan bases just don't want to win, they want to dominate. That's very likely not going to happen in a League when teams like Miss State/Ole Miss are tough outs, then you get to also rotate into playing UGA/UF/Auburn and that's not even mentioning you have to meet 'Bama in the SEC championship as long as Saban is there. If for some reason Saban starts winning 7-9 games, he'll be fired as well. [/QUOTE]
