Jimbo Fisher delivers recruiting pitch, says Texas A&M has 'the most complete package of any school in the country'
Jimbo Fisher has come into the cross-hairs with his recruiting in recent months as the Aggies landed the top-ranked class in the country. The Texas A&M coach has a custom pitch for recruits, and during a visit with Colin Cowherd, he shared what that sounds like.
“Here’s what A&M has, it has the most complete package of any school in the country,” Fisher said. “You’re talking about culture of the university. This place is unbelievable, you get here and you’ll see it. The commitment that people have. It’s a top 20 educational school in the country, education’s through the roof. The commitment that we have made, for instance right we’re building a new $160 million facility, which is going to be state-of-the-art which no one in the country is going to have, which is for your personal development.”
Fisher also noted that he’s one of the active coaches who have won a national championship, the university’s endowment is the sixth-richest in the country and has one of the 2 largest alumni associations in the country at 550,000.
“Here’s the important thing: Do you want to go someplace that’s won a championship, or do you want to be the first to do it,” Fisher said. “The people you remember, the guys that really make a difference in the world are the guys that are the first to do it. If you go somewhere else and just be another guy, you’ll just be another guy. Come here and be the first guy to ever do it, and set the standard for a new organization. Those are the ones that have got statues outside that you talk about all the time.”
Jimbo Fisher’s recruiting pitch isn’t bad 👀

Not to mention the cash they’ll give you.
Fisher is a sleazeball.
Go pop a pimple in Mom’s basement, Pinkie!
You are correct about that Gator
Excuses, excuses… or maybe he’s just a really good recruiter and that’s what truly bothers you.
Or maybe everyone else is right
But it isn’t a top 20 university, it’s not even top 50! Why lie about something that can be easily debunked.
Can’t take anything he says seriously.
Maybe he meant top 20 in the SEC?
How many football nattys does the business school or engineering school affect? None. So why are we talking about it?
It’s #26 in the national university category as rated by US News and World Report in their 2022 release. Florida is #5. UGA is #16. Auburn is #42. UT is #46
Go ahead and say that louder for those in the back please!
The people who do those rankings ore in the northeast and left coast. They have a bias against conservative schools and A&M is the most conservative large public university in the nation. Here is what I know: their grads are very well respected. My son right out of the business school got an analyst job with a top Wall Street investment banking firm. My other son got a great starter job with a top technology company right out of the B school. I do not know where they stand now but in 2019 A&M had the most Fortune 500 CEO alums in the country.
What may also pull the school down a little are it’s non-engineering and non-business school areas of study. But in business and engineering they are really well respected and top notch. Also, look at their law school. They acquired it from Texas Wesleyan only about a decade ago. Since that time they shot up an astounding 100 spots in the USNWR rankings. It’s amazing what having $20 billion dollars can accomplish when you add to that an insanely loyal alumni base. Especially now with oil above $100 a barrel.
A&M law is #46 nationally. That puts it in bottom of the upper half of the SEC behind (in alphabetical order) Alabama, Florida, Georgia,
and Vanderbilt.
But hey, on the plus, y’all are ranked one spot ahead of Florida State! So keep that up.
A&M law did not exist 10 years ago. When the acquired Texas Wesleyan they were ranked 146. Never before isn history has a law school skyrocketed that fast.
@Greenwave81 You’re leaving out the amazing accomplishments of the Alexander Shunnarah school of Law and Ambulance Chasing.
Alabama has been around since 1872. Florida 1909. Vandy 1874. UGA 1859. All have a 100+ year head start.
A&M has an endowment larger than all of those combined. Only a matter of time.
As for the business school, y’all are in a three-way tie for #41. Which is behind the usual SEC schools of Florida, Georgia and Vanderbilt.
There a lot a woke people in Gainesville. The rankers are woke so they like that.
FlaGators, can you let us know where the engineering school ranks? In an area that is heavy oil in gas, I think the engineering school might be important.
#1 petroleum engineering school in the country.
As mentioned before, these rankings are usually pretty skewed. But y’all can have the rankings. We will take the massive research institution in a state with a GDP that is the same size as Florida and Georgia combined.
Midsummer on SDS=guys arguing about where the law school ranks.
A lawyer from Southern can practice law just like a lawyer from 8&4
Fisher the idiot. No mention of how much you’ll be paid to go there to never win a national championship?
LSU is a great school. Won a national championship and Coach O crashed and burned….too bad.
Somehow you think the last part negates the first part.
Why so angry?
Yes, it has it everything, including all one of that national titles from 1939.
So was the video with the guy talking to recruits about being paid to come there just a farce or what?
Shhhh. Not going to talk about that
Well he has to do sonething. I was wondering if they spent all of the nil money last year with only a handful of recruits so far.
LOL its July. Go do some research on 24/7 a lot of crystal balls showing A&M on a lot of recruits. A few big recruiting events coming up too, granted not as nice as the McDonald’s bags of money, but a lot of commits should be announced in the next few weeks. Top 10 class will not be an issue, should be another in the top 5.
“Spent all the NIL money”. Fuzzy, WTI has been hovering at $100 for like 6 months. The money is not the issue.
“Most complete system” being “Those people in those booths”?
God forbid A&M has boosters! Does Auburn?
Yes, yes we do. Meddling ones at that.
The men in the high castle
I can’t wait to see some football. All the talkin’s getting old. Time to put some Ws on the board.
OK, enough of this nonsense. As to who is a good school, corporate recrutors look for people who can do the job. They’ll pick grads from Georgia Tech, purdue, or A&M over those from the Iivory Tower (no names mentioned). My Dad, with an engineering degree from A&M, was a high level guy at Hallibuton for mny years. His son {me) and his roomate Barry got into one of the top 3 medical schools in the country out of A&M. My sons who went there include 2 doctors, one with an engineering degree, and another with an engineering degree who is now a high-level patent attorney for Amazon. I think that’s pretty good, and an education at a good state school like A&M can get you there, no question. Athetes on scholarship might be a different subset, but this BS about school quality is precisely that. There are a lot of fine schools out there if you’re willing to do the work.
Old joke for newcomers.
What do you call an Aggie five years after he graduates?
BOSS.
Only 3 SEC schools belong to the highly prestigious AAU – Vandy, A&M and Florida. Georgia from some reason just doesn’t cut the mustard in this area.
The more accurate rating comes from Monet Magazine. I say this because it uses a metric that considers the value of degree in terns of life time earning vs the cost of the degree. It is a far superior metric than US News because Money’s ranking is based on real world factors. Per Money, A&M is the second best school in the SEC (behind Florida) and 27th best school in the nation.
Right now with the US economy poised to enter the worst downturn in almost a century this rating from Money is particularly relevant.
There was one thing Jimbo forgot to mention. They are the only school that has its own category of jokes.
Did you hear about the Aggie that stayed up all night studying for his urine test?
He means “money package”.
A&M spends A TON of money on buying players just to go 8-4 every year. Cowards skipped a bowl game because they knew they’d lose …
Jimbo can only do well when he has an All-World QB.
Get some original material you bum.
