TEXAS A&M
The Texas A&M Aggies made a big investment in former Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher this offseason, giving him a 10-year, $75 million contract.
However, Fisher still has his work cut out for him if he’s going to turn the Aggies into a program that can compete for SEC West titles on a yearly basis.
Former Auburn and Ole Miss coach Tommy Tuberville, who knows a thing or two about how tough the SEC West is, joined “Sports Talk with Bo Mattingly” on Wednesday and said he’s not sold on Fisher being able to turn Texas A&M around:
Tuberville on Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M: I don’t know how that’s going to fit. They’ve invested a lot of money, but money can’t buy you a college football program. It’s about stability.

Texas A&M had some good years under former coach Kevin Sumlin, but never reached an SEC Championship Game.
If Fisher can’t change that in his first few years in College Station, the Aggies may have to eat another massive contract.
Another garbage article from a failure and garbage of a coach himself. What exactly makes this a-hole the expert on A&M’s program?!? Tubberville is trash, and Saturday Down South is so freaking anti-A&M it’s ridiculous. Gig ‘Em and eat a turd Tubberville.
Stability? A 10 year contract isn’t stability? K
Fisher is an outstanding coach and he now has all the resources he could want. He does have some serious competition in the SEC West, and he is also recruiting against Texas and Oklahoma, along with several other programs. No guarantee, but he is in a pretty good situation. This relates to one of my favorite sayings, “money can’t buy you happiness, but it can make for a heck of a good down payment”. It’s the same with a program. A healthy down payment has been made.
Obviously hiring Fisher does not guarantee a championship but I’m happy that our administration is not trying to settle for mediocre with sumlin. I think A&M will be very competitive at the least but the West is already incredibly strong and will only be stronger from now on so I, like most rational fans, are happy to at least be in contention every year for a championship.
You really don’t know how good of a recruiter Fisher is. He successfully lured top Texas recruits out of the state every year. I don’t think he’s worried about recruiting struggles now that he’s instate. Certainly not worried about tu and bummer sooner. lol
A&M is garbage. When you win the West you can talk buddy… Or even a championship
A&M-Auburn are 3-3 since Aggies joined SEC. If A&M is garbage, what’s that make Auburn?
Bama is 5-1 against Aggies. Johnny beat Bama one year 29-25 and Bama still won the West, SEC CG and NC.
It’s called bias and BS. More crying from Saban and company will get them in every year. If there was a real playoff(8 teams) Bama would be let down. The bowl committee is too worried about money and tv ratings to let Bama get dethroned. As far as Aubbie… The road team usually wins the game. See you in your high school stadium next year. War Tiger! Wait…are ya’ll tigers or eagles? Asking for a friend. lol
Garbage? If you don’t understand the game, you probably shouldn’t post on a football forum Thomas. Isn’t it time for you to get tucked in anyway?
Tuberville spouting off about stability? That’s a laugher out loud. Baled on Ole Miss, Texas Tech & A&M as a coordinator. All after expressing that he wasn’t going anywhere. Trashy coach that had some success at Auburn.
Is he getting senile? Seems to be making unnecessarily negative and nonsensical statements about multiple programs lately. I guess only Alabama and other “elite” programs are allowed to hire proven championship coaches away from other schools or NFL programs. Stability? How stable was LSU or Alabama before Saban?
“How stable was LSU or Alabama before Saban?”
That’s what makes these hillbilly’s almost as pretentious as the sips. They’re one coach away from joining the rest of us. lol
Media is just mad that A&M is now finally refusing to “know its place” and is doing everything it can to elevate itself to competing consistently with blue blood programs. Things are changing. They just need to accept it.
I’m glad Fisher is in the SEC, as a conference we need top coaches. Not only does that help with recruiting but it can helps make the SEC untouchable by any conferences when it comes to bowl season. We can all admit as SEC fans that the only reason were not catching as much “overrated SEC” talk is because of the show g in the playoffs/natty
Aggierider sec west champs buddy. Let me know when y’all win the sec…
Let us know when you beat UCF. Oh wait….
