The rivalry between Texas A&M and Texas is one of the saltiest around, and Texas A&M’s Leon O’Neal may have just poured some more gasoline on the fire.

“If Texas can find a coach — with all that talent, the sky is the limit,” O’Neal told Barrett Sallee of CBS Sports. “But until they find a coach, they suck.”

That was a response to a question about Texas joining the SEC, and the Aggies being in the same conference against as their hated rival.

Aggie fans could easily take a shot at new Texas coach Steve Sarkisian, who never won a conference title as a head coach at Southern Cal, or Washington and at Texas, he is facing a tough recruiting battle with A&M’s Jimbo Fisher
