So this ran in the Battalion last week. And while this guy heaps the current problems on Jimbo, they still can't seem to grasp the bulk of their problem is their insistence on their traditions being respected and envied. They can't see the problem because they are too close to it, and people think they are just off a bit, try to hard. And that fucks with their recruiting and then the athletes once they hit campus. There has always been a choke mentality to that school.
So yeah, while Jimbo sucks, he's just the latest in a long line of coaches that couldn't bring success to that school. They have no tradition of actually winning much beyond moral victories and the occasional upset. They do have a tradition of overvaluing themselves. Self awareness is not ever a feature.
I thought maybe this article would address that, but it didn't. They cite BOMC often, but it's really battered aggie syndrome.
