My personal opinions; This may brighten someones day, but not mine! As an aggie, with our athletic director of the last 5+years Bill Byrne, in the process of hiring a complete new football staff, I've been thrilled with every new coaching announcement about the " new emphasis on recruiting"!

Every team gets 85 players and the difference in winning consistantly is the talent level.

D1 coaches have often said that recruiting alone wins you 70% up to 90% of your games. MB has proven this!

Public records show that for the years of 07, 06, 05, 04, and 03, the total number of top talented four and five star athletes recruited by the mnc teams of this decade are UT 62, ou 67, lsu 76, florida 75 and usc 77( this is a five year total); A&M during this same five year period recruited only 32.

Then the record shows that our new coaching staff, with all the emphasis being put on improving recruiting, during the same five year period of 07-03 recruited only 2 four and five star athletes in total; depending on which projected coach fills last position, this number will either remain at 2 or jumps to 5. ( Compared to UT's 62.)

Unfortunately, this may turn out to be the worst Aggie joke of all time? I truly hope not.

Oh boy Miller 58, I hope the Texasag lurkers don't get wind of your post. You will forever be cursed as a 2%er.

I mean, c'mon... $Bill actually got into his own car, by himself no less, and personally drove to Houston (breaking the 70 MPH speed limit) to bag Shermy before anyone else could lure him away to - God forbid the Big 10 or the SEC. Surely you must have some form of hope in this new NFL-esque coaching staff?
 
Nebraska fans have begun affectionately calling ATM: University of Nebraska - College Station. Heck, they've seemingly hired half of Callahan's former coaches and support staff.

Of those they've hired the ONLY person I'm disheartened to lose is Tim Cassidy who WILL have an impact on the Aggies recruiting. Wyatt? Our DL was atrocious last season. Jordan? He was new to coaching when he joined BC and he hasn't done much to make a mark. Dave Kennedy? Whether Nebraska was soft due to S&C or simply due to piss poor coaching is anyones guess.
 
Wow. what an incredibly bad post. i think i'll go stab myself in the eye for awhile. its more enjoyable than the original post.
 
how about Cromwell as off. coordinator? 10 years in the same capacity and never moved up or on? why? was seahawk reciever coach best gig he could find over this period. did he ever call plays or put together the game plan?

My personal opinions: HousHorn, the fix is in at A&M on the "great recruiting staff" spin.

The numbers, 2 top talented four and five star athletes recruited compared to UT's 62 and usc's 77 are public record and can be quickly verified!.

Then Ags, as po'd as me about not paying the little extra money to hire some great recruiters, can start seeing how we compare to UT, ou, lsu, florida, and usc in Feb 08 and every day beyond. Recruiting services report this daily.

We paid a little extra to get some top coaches , but not a single top recruiter can be found, based on their resume!

Topwater, don't be knocking this staff on coaching ability. On paper it is one of the strongest I've ever seen on player development, motivational skills, x's and o's, etc.

The problem is experienced D1 head coaches say that recruiting alone wins 70% up to 90% of college games; that leaves coaching wins the other 10% up to 30%.

So in a 12 game schedule, our coaching wins us 1 up to 4 games. And without the ability to recruit top talented four and five star athletes, as the 2 to 62 ratio indicates, we have the other 8 up to 11 games up for grabs.

So A&M paid a little extra to win 1 up to 4 games, but not one red cent extra for recruiters to win the other 8 up to 11.

But wait losing, that's what we've done the last decade! It's time for Aggies to measure recruiting, starting in Feb & March 08, compared to the schools we'd like to be our contemporaries. If the real recruiting numbers, each month in 08, turn out to be as bad as they look now on paper, it's time for drastic changes at A&M by the end of 08 or before!

no problem miller, I see the Fran years (or "when ATM quit cheating") have tempered your enthusiasm a bit.









Of course, I'm still not convinced it wasn't an act, but who cares. You're entertaining... and that's why I surf the web.
 
You're not the real miller58, are you? You sound like a coherent person trying to sound incoherent. The real miller58 made far less sense than you.
 
fuzzymath, this is your lucky day; now you can tell all your friends that the real miller58 actually acknowledged one of your posts.

thank you for the complement on my seeming more coherent. you see I've been working very hard on communicating with people at different levels and its pleasing to know I'm making progress!



Regards.

For anyone who remembers the real miller58 on texags, you will know this is not him.

Not once in all the posts he made, did he ever use more than a single paragraph. It might be 20 lines or more, but just one paragraph.

This miller58 is a poser and a troll.
 
simihorn, a very nice poster gave me step by step instructions on how to use my enter key to make paragraphs.

Just found it so thrilling and so much fun, that I decided to adapt it!

everybodygodeep, actually the english secrtary and I were together until t+1. At the game, I sat next to a gorgeous 25 year old and we're together now. My english secretary was getting older, talking marriage, etc. so it was time!

By the way, did you know that four of the teams that were in the top ten final poll last year, had not had their recruiting class's ranked in the top 25, even once, in the last five years?
That has to be hard to do!

My personal opinions-Simple: We have averaged recruiting only 6 four and five star athletes each class since 2000. UT and ou are averaging 13 or more every year and kicking our rear!

After the coaching change, an honest evaluation of the 03 squad said, expect nfl drafts to drop to almost zero for the 04, 05, 06, 07, and 08 drafts; it has come true!

A&M did not hire recruiters when the whole defensive staff was replaced two years ago . Thats strike one!

A&M did not keep Billy Clyde a year ago. Thats strike two.

Now Byrne has replaced a complete coaching staff. My analysis is it's extra strong on X's and O's, player development, motivation, etc. and zero on recruiting ( or should I say 2 on recruiting? ). If this staff doesnt recruit with UT, ou, lsu, florida and usc from the start in 08, then that's strike three!

I'm just sick of losing for the past decade! I want results ; not rosy press conferences, with positive spin, when there is none, telling me how " we are really addressing the recruiting with this staff!"

It will be time to clean house from the AD on down, this fall, if the results aren't there in recruiting by this summer and on the field this fall.

RC started a new Aggie tradition in the early part of the decade of averaging 6 four and five star athletes and filling in the class with the 2 and 3 stars left over after UT and ou got their 16 to 21 four and five star athletes.

Now Byrne's coaches have continued the tradition of averaging 6 four and five stars per year and filling in with everybody,s leftovers for the last 5+ years!

Looks like Byrnes new coaches, so far, are continuing the tradition with the loss of another 4 star db yesterday for the 08 class and more losses are expected due to grade risks; and the big A&M junior day on Jan 27 has, so far, been a complete failure as far as any 4 and 5 star commits for the 09 class. ( no other commits either) .

The tradition continues!

This is not a post with negative spin! Its the true facts & numbers that are
negative; change only the factual numbers of the last decade and it is a very positive post.

Someone at A&M wipes some of these numbers off A&M blogs as soon as they are posted, so students and former students aren't aware! I wonder who at A&M doesn't want these numbers known? Any ideas?

So be sure and help keep this secret from my Ag brothern!

The latest is another 4 star DB just decommitted to go to ou/lsu ; and a 3 star mid term grad lb previously an A&M commit, which we wanted to sign, is just today showing committed to La Tech.
we're down to 9 four stars now, and UT is holding at 12, with ou at 14!
