Jimbo Fisher laments Texas A&M simply can't 'get over that little hump' amid 3-7 season
Jimbo Fisher and the Aggies take on UMass this week as Texas A&M aims to salvage what’s been a disappointing season, now sitting at a 3-7 record.
Asked for the most difficult part of the season for him, Fisher admitted the Aggies haven’t turned a corner.
“Just that we can’t find a way to get over that little hump,” he said on the SEC coaches media teleconference. “… As a coach, for our fans and for our players, you want to get those results. They’re not there. … We’ve just got to keep working hard.”
Fisher and the Aggies have the worst record in the SEC, and it’s arguably the worst season among Power 5 programs since the Aggies began the season ranked No. 6 in the country.
Without a bowl game on tap, all indications suggest that there should be wholesale changes in the offseason, as fans and media continue to grapple with Texas A&M’s stance on Fisher’s $86 million buyout.
?? Hes acting like they’ve been 3-7 for about 3 seasons by now.
The football coach that went up a hump and came down a mountain.
“Little hump”???? A&M – Find the money to send ol’ Jimbo down the road or continue with these same results until his contract expires.
We’re good with the status quo there.
That “little hump” is about the size of Denali.
Is it? 5 losses by 7 or less. The Miss State loss was horrible. Florida was to be expected with half our team out with the flu. We just can’t seem to close out the tight games.
Those 5 losses by 7 or less should have been wins, or most of them should have been. When the hump is the head coach and he is going to be resistant to change, a Denali may be small.
True.
Fisher takes stubborn to a new level.
And a couple of those wins could equally be losses.
Except for Alabama, they should not have been close losses at all.
So we should have been 11-1 this year with freshman accounting for 4,600 snaps, which is 2x any other SEC program? (per 247 article from 11/12/2022). You are a bitter, old fart.
Jimbo…”Can’t get over that little hump” ? Jimbo you can’t even get the motor of the bus cranked-up this year. aTm $$$$$$$$$$$$ boosters, Enjoy paying him all that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ per game for losses. Guaranteed-Contract huh. The college football world laughs at aTm now.
LOL! Jimbo, that little hum is YOU.
*hump
This sounds mean, and I suppose it is, but I’m going to be rooting for UMass this Saturday.
I just want to hear his response (**cough** excuses **cough**) and discover if that loss is worth $86M.
My apologies to the Texas A&M team and fanbase for surrendering to my need for schadenfreude.
Don’t you never ever root against an SEC team! And while you’re at it, don’t you buy no ugly truck neither. :)

Jimbo has his issues, but his biggest right now is the QB position. Injuries certainly hurt, but the veterans he has just aren’t great. King was way overrated and Johnson got hurt, even though he wasn’t playing great either. The true freshman will need time. I expect them to be better next season as the young guys mature. I also expect LSU and Bama to be better next season, so the battle will continue. SEC football isn’t for the faint of heart.
He recruited them and he is supposed to be a QB guru.
I think the world is catching on to him. The guru thing appears to be quite overrated.
The true freshman thres for 350 yards and 4 tds in his first start against Ole Miss. The freshman needs a new OC, but I think he will be a stud.
King has a case of noodle arm. Johnson is serviceable.
The true freshman also went 14-36 for 121 yards & 1 td against Auburn. He has a terrible completion % at 52. We do agree on something though. I think he will be a stud.
Just bring a couple more 3 rings binders to the sideline to call the plays, I’m sure that will get you over the hump.
I remember a bad year. In 96, we went 6-6. In 97, we went to the Big 12 Championship game. In 98, we won the Big 12.
Let’s hold off on the sky is falling until next fall. Also, the buy out is lower next year.
