They can never just accept a coach as a reasonable hire and wait to see how it works out. They've been snorting the "sleeping giant" cocaine for so long that the actually believe A&M's natural place is being the preeminent program in college football. So each new coach has to pander to that delusion. It's utterly bizarre.
Over my decades of watching college football, the average season for Texas is 8.5 wins and 3.5 losses. basically oscillating between 8-4 and 9-3. That's life among the big boys, but it has included some very memorable years along with three national championships. And then there's Aggie, whose only national championship is four generations ago and rapidly passing out of living memory. But they're not just some paltry 8-4 program. No, they're rightful place is as gods among men, winning at a clip that would make Saban green with envy. Each new coach is a Messiah orbiting the Divinity that is Reveille and the Corps, bringing endless glory to that heaven on earth, land of milk and honey called College Station.
If David Koresh was still around, he'd be their perfect football coach.
