Let me help you out with the recruiting comment. Herman pretty much inherited strong's recruiting class as far as 2017 is concerned. The guy hasn't been on the job a year yet and has a projected #2 class for 2018. He's getting 'his' players in place for the future and I fully expect that future to be extremely successful.
What's Sumlin's excuse? He has inherited kids already in place at Houston and Aggieland. Yet he still hasn't done anything on his own. Winning ugly is better than not winning at all. I hope he continues on that path, gets a contract extension, and the Aggie fan base continue to complain year after year about mediocrity, how much is his payoff, and the next coach having to 'get' Aggie. Whatever that means.
Johnny was an exceptional college qb that played behind an NFL quality line and probably had the 'best' receiver in college fb in mike Evans. Year 2 was filled with great promise and Johnny was going to lead them to the top. How'd that work out? SEC coaches figured out how to play defense on the Aggies. We'll hear that all again when it comes to mond (who is a talented player) and how Aggie will be on top of the promised land come next season. When that doesn't happen, it all starts over.
Sumlin will eventually move on with his millions while we'll continue our back and forth banter, working our 8 hour shift, and talking all things Longhorns and Aggies. We wouldn't have it any other way. Well maybe the millions might be nice.
I do believe I got off the original topic. Sorry about that.
Good Luck to both teams as the season progresses.
