  1. Whatever wilderness you're claiming is going to look like the Disney Jungle Cruise compared to what you're about to go through. You're only hopes are 1) Deboer can work his magic in < 2 years and get y'all back to competing for SEC championships by 2025 or 2) Saban comes out of retirement before the 2026 season to take it back over and save the program. You're not getting the Saban discount, paying players is now legal, & the team is losing a LOT of talent. We'll see what happens in the Spring portal window but right now you're looking at 8-9 wins (MAYBE) & a lot of shock for Bama fans. It's only going to be more difficult to pull proven coaches so, if Deboer falls flat, you're likely playing P5 coordinator/G5 coach roulette in 3 years &, even if you hit on a good one, good luck stacking the roster the way you have the last 15 years. It's a good thing you got sick of championships because you're not going to have to worry about one for a minute.
  2. lol no. Arky probably won't have a coach by the time we play them, a&m is going to be complete shit this year, FL was awful this year & they have just a tough enough run that they may not have a coach by that time either, UK is the best of that bunch & they got trounced in almost all of their big games last year vs. good teams (UGA, Bama, Mizzou). I don't know that the last 4 games are all that different than the last 4 games from this year. KSU @TCU @ISU TTU a&m & arky are bigger rivalries but KSU would beat all 4 of the teams we end the season with & the rest would probably be about even. Other than UGA, this conference schedule looks as manageable as 2023 was, if not more so. We didn't play a team as bad as Vandy or MSU in 2023 & we get both in 2024
  3. Our coaches aren't even good enough to get mid-level HC jobs? What kind of shitty position coaches is Sark hiring?
  4. aggy replacement on line 1:
  5. Still would. *Me a week after watching that movie for the first time*
  6. What? No. UT, OSU, USC, UGA, UM, LSU, & UO (While PK is alive) are all better jobs than a&m and it's not really close. Then you have the next tier with a lot of teams that are in similar boats as a&m but have actually done something the last 40 years: OU, ND, UF, FSU, Clemson, Bama, Auburn Then the tier that I think a&m is closer to in terms of just how good the job is: UW, PSU, Miami (maybe they belong in the tier above but they've been so bad for so long with no end in sight) A&M has no history, no brand that the general public cares about, is in an ass of a city, is surrounded by & forced to recruit against UT, OU, & LSU, & is currently employing a glorified G5 coaching staff. Could someone theoretically go there & change things? Sure, but that is not an easy fix & the dumpster fire that Jimbo left in his wake makes it even less appealing. If the SEC ever decides to go to a 9 game schedule & eliminate FCS opponents then a&m is going to fall from their 8-4 standard & have to fight to be 6-6 most years. They'll have surprisingly good years every so often, but the trajectory of that program is decidedly pointing down & I'm not sure where it stops.
  7. Kiffin has the gall to take it. I would be shocked to see Sark or Lanning take it. They're in great spots, why leave to face the pressure of taking over for the greatest coach the sport has known?
  8. Scared of having to face Elko every year in the SEC championship game. The Wiggins hire was the straw that broke the camels back.
  9. if they over turn that……
  10. woooww how did that get overturned?!?
  11. playing 10+ yards off on 3rd and 8 on all of their WRs is certainly one strategy.
  12. oof that hurt. balls bouncing right to them on the times we actually defend them well is not great.
  13. imagine having penix and their WRs that have been abusing us so far and deciding to test Sweat + Murphy twice instead.
  14. lol penix + adunze aren’t going to be stoppable tonight. if we’re not going to get pressure we’re going to have to score 80
  15. our defensive line seems to be slipping a lot
  16. if we’re going to blitz and still give Penix all the time in the world this is going to be a looooong night
  17. He's the new Waddle. Every mention of a "surprise WR" commit will be responded to with his name. He will be on the minds of hundreds of Surly posters on their deathbeds, having driven them mad. Their families, pushed away with their obsession, will only be able to shake their heads as "E-Stew" is whispered during the final breath.
  18. Boromir killed off plenty of the Uruk-hai after the first arrow, but the writing was on the wall. No clue if it'll end up being an accurate analogy, just want to start an LOTR tangent if possible.
