OldTimer Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Because he is a better "coach" than Sumblin. More with less vs. Less with more. Not a difficult concept. Now if we are talking dancing in the locker room with the fellas, it's Swaggy K all day, every day... Charlie = More with Less = 6-7 (Not the best argument at this time) ;) Quote
TxHoops Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 You do make one good point that also begs the question - did the recruits come to Texas due to Strong on the Texas reputation. I knew Texas would get its fair share of recruits just due to the allure of the Longhorn fame - but whether you like to admit it or not over the last few year Texas has not gotten all the good recruits like it used too. The gap has narrowed greatly and A&M, Baylor and TCU (and others) are in fact getting recruits that they would not have had a chance at 5 years ago - that is likely not going to change. If by "not likely" you mean "almost certainly", I would completely agree. :D Quote
Aces_Full Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 So who starts for atm this year? Murray or Allen? Texas, with a better online & better qb (Heard) will be much better overall. The defense will be nasty again. Strong couldn't help the roster & dead weight he inherited, but he has quickly changed the culture of the program. Quote
Anafanatic Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 ^ spot on OldTimer, and they will be no better than 6-7 next season...book it #stronghorns Quote
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Charlie = More with Less = 6-7/Swaggy K = Less with More = decline in wins since 1st yr (Not the best argument at this time) ;) Fify, you're on point now. ;) Quote
Anafanatic Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Allen is and will be the starter... Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
Peppermint Patty Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Not a bad day for the Horns. They missed out on D Mack, but got some help on both sides of the ball. Biggest miss was with Gentry at QB. Both ags and Horns miss out on Lodge. Now, Charlie needs to coach. Quote

How is Heard a better QB - from I have read from Texas posters he was not close to as good as Swoopes this year - did he take something to make him better???? Quote
OldTimer Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Fify, you're on point now. ;) Just remember this when this year Aggie increases its wins and Texas is still trolling at 6-7 or 7-6 then we can revisit this conversation. I know you will not forget but neither will I - see you in like 11 months :) Quote

eagleswoodville#1 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 I think both teams improve greatly this year. A&M 8-9 wins. Same for Texas. Neither will jump into championship contention next year. Quote
TXHORN_ET Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 A good number of recruits will go to a school because of tradition and love for that school. There are also those that choose a program because of the coach and his staff. Case in point, Charlie Strong and the kids he has brought to Texas. From the kids he was able to flip, to others outside the state of Texas, there can be no arguement that he has done a remarkable job recruiting in his 1st full year at The University. Quote
PhatMack19 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 One of them will play college football, one of them will not. CB = Corner Back Deshawn Capers-Smith is who I was referring to. He will play cornerback at A&M Quote
TXHORN_ET Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 If #wrts Sumlin and the aggies don't win at least 9 this coming season with the schedule they have, something is wrong. Quote

PhatMack19 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 hahahahahaha "One of them will play college football, one of them will not" post of the day!! #Hookem #LetsRide Re-read my post before declaring a post of the day. I don't believe Dylan Capers-Smith plays baseball or has a chance of getting drafted. Quote

Now if we are talking dancing in the locker room with the fellas, it's Swaggy K all day, every day... Any data to back that up or are you just hoping that Is true? Win %- Sumlin Bowl record- Sumlin Core values- Strong 59 yards of offense- Strong 60% of your seasons as a head coach with 6 or more losses- Strong Wait that's 3-2 Strong. Maybe you are right. Quote
Cougar14.2 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Please explain how Charlie is considered a better coach than Sumlin?Sumlin's best year ended in a Cotton Bowl victory over OU. Even with 6th year record setting qb Case Keenum he couldn't beat Southern Miss to win C-USA. Once the film was in A&M started losing more and more, kind of like Muschamp at Florida. Even a lot of his coordinator success was due to the guys like Art Briles and Dana Holgerson who he was on staffs with. Sumlin is a great recruiter which is where a lot of his success comes from. Strong on the other hand, is a guy that after winning titles with Urban Meyer branched out and became even more successful. Tough first year at Louisville but a couple of years later he was beating his old team, Florida, in the Sugar Bowl. After that he follows it up with another 1 loss campaign and destroys Miami at the end of the season. Sumlin jumped out strong, wins two less games than his initial season, gets a raise them loses even more games. But hey, I know to Aggie fans finishing in 8th in the SEC is better than finishing runner-up in the Big 12 any day. Question is how long will recruits see it that way? baddog 1 Quote
Aces_Full Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 LOL...Strong playing with Mack's recruits (or what was left of them). You will begin to see what's in store next season, and definitely the following when he gets HIS guys in. Good luck competing in the SEC West. Ya'll have done a hell of a job with that so far. At least when Bama wins the conference you can chant "SEC!" LOL. baddog and Mr. Buddy Garrity 2 Quote
Cougar14.2 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Coog_02 put down the pipe, you're in denial... Script was flipped when the Aggies fled the Big12...Texas will never have a bad recruiting class, but you should prepare yourself for another 6 win season The problem with Texas is this mentality: Texas > Big12 Whereas A&M's mentality (along with all other SEC schools) is this: SEC > A&MDenial about what man? I've followed recruiting with a fine tooth comb for the better part of 15 years, you're an Ag fan so I know for a fact you can't say the same. Ag never had a reason to follow receuiting because all they ever got were Texas and OU's scraps. A&M fleeing the Big 12 had little to do with their recruiting classes. Sumlin is the sole reason A&M is viable in the SEC now. I don't care if Gary Pinkel was coaching at A&M now, he wouldn't get guys like Speedy Noil and Daylon Mack to come there, A&M never got those guys before and still wouldn't if Sumlin wasn't there. I'duch rather have UT's arrogance than A&M's complex any day by the way. Quote
Cougar14.2 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Allen is and will be the starter...Spoken like a true Ag. Name the last west coast qb who's been successful in the south? Weak arms and bad feet, when they play out west in the great weather with no pass rush they don't get exposed until they hit the league. It doesn't take long on the south though. Quote
Callaway7 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Posted February 4, 2015 Texas will put up more than six wins. We got byu off the schedule. Also the qb situation couldn't physically be worse than last yr. Quote

Aggy believe Sumlin is better, gave him huge contract extension. Aggy believed Frantastic was the answer. Gave him huge contract extension. Aggy believed the Sherminator was the answer. Gave him huge contract extension. Aggy = confederacy of dunces. Hth. Ywia. Mr. Buddy Garrity 1 Quote
