??? Charlie Strong has had ZERO Tolerance. ZERO. That cannot be argued. And he has not been selective with his ZERO Tolerance. What happened before him is not on him. Charlie Strong is the individu

I'll say this: UT will have a better record than Agricultural & Mechanical.

You do make one good point that also begs the question - did the recruits come to Texas due to Strong on the Texas reputation. I knew Texas would get its fair share of recruits just due to the allure of the Longhorn fame - but whether you like to admit it or not over the last few year Texas has not gotten all the good recruits like it used too. The gap has narrowed greatly and A&M, Baylor and TCU (and others) are in fact getting recruits that they would not have had a chance at 5 years ago - that is likely not going to change.


If by "not likely" you mean "almost certainly", I would completely agree. :D

So who starts for atm this year? Murray or Allen?


Texas, with a better online & better qb (Heard) will be much better overall. The defense will be nasty again. Strong couldn't help the roster & dead weight he inherited, but he has quickly changed the culture of the program.

How is Heard a better QB - from I have read from Texas posters he was not close to as good as Swoopes this year - did he take something to make him better????

A good number of recruits will go to a school because of tradition and love for that school. There are also those that choose a program because of the coach and his staff. Case in point, Charlie Strong and the kids he has brought to Texas. From the kids he was able to flip, to others outside the state of Texas, there can be no arguement that he has done a remarkable job recruiting in his 1st full year at The University.

Because he is a better "coach" than Sumblin. More with less vs. Less with more. Not a difficult concept.

Now if we are talking dancing in the locker room with the fellas, it's Swaggy K all day, every day...


Any data to back that up or are you just hoping that Is true?

Win %- Sumlin
Bowl record- Sumlin

Core values- Strong
59 yards of offense- Strong
60% of your seasons as a head coach with 6 or more losses- Strong

Wait that's 3-2 Strong. Maybe you are right.

Please explain how Charlie is considered a better coach than Sumlin?

Sumlin's best year ended in a Cotton Bowl victory over OU. Even with 6th year record setting qb Case Keenum he couldn't beat Southern Miss to win C-USA. Once the film was in A&M started losing more and more, kind of like Muschamp at Florida. Even a lot of his coordinator success was due to the guys like Art Briles and Dana Holgerson who he was on staffs with. Sumlin is a great recruiter which is where a lot of his success comes from.

Strong on the other hand, is a guy that after winning titles with Urban Meyer branched out and became even more successful. Tough first year at Louisville but a couple of years later he was beating his old team, Florida, in the Sugar Bowl. After that he follows it up with another 1 loss campaign and destroys Miami at the end of the season. Sumlin jumped out strong, wins two less games than his initial season, gets a raise them loses even more games. But hey, I know to Aggie fans finishing in 8th in the SEC is better than finishing runner-up in the Big 12 any day.

Question is how long will recruits see it that way?

LOL...Strong playing with Mack's recruits (or what was left of them).  You will begin to see what's in store next season, and definitely the following when he gets HIS guys in.  

 

Good luck competing in the SEC West.  Ya'll have done a hell of a job with that so far.  At least when Bama wins the conference you can chant "SEC!"  LOL.

Coog_02 put down the pipe, you're in denial...
 
 
Script was flipped when the Aggies fled the Big12...Texas will never have a bad recruiting class, but you should prepare yourself for another 6 win season
 
The problem with Texas is this mentality:        Texas > Big12
 
Whereas A&M's mentality (along with all other SEC schools) is this:          SEC > A&M

Denial about what man? I've followed recruiting with a fine tooth comb for the better part of 15 years, you're an Ag fan so I know for a fact you can't say the same. Ag never had a reason to follow receuiting because all they ever got were Texas and OU's scraps. A&M fleeing the Big 12 had little to do with their recruiting classes. Sumlin is the sole reason A&M is viable in the SEC now. I don't care if Gary Pinkel was coaching at A&M now, he wouldn't get guys like Speedy Noil and Daylon Mack to come there, A&M never got those guys before and still wouldn't if Sumlin wasn't there. I'duch rather have UT's arrogance than A&M's complex any day by the way.

Allen is and will be the starter...

Spoken like a true Ag. Name the last west coast qb who's been successful in the south? Weak arms and bad feet, when they play out west in the great weather with no pass rush they don't get exposed until they hit the league. It doesn't take long on the south though.

Aggy believe Sumlin is better, gave him huge contract extension.

Aggy believed Frantastic was the answer. Gave him huge contract extension.

Aggy believed the Sherminator was the answer. Gave him huge contract extension.

Aggy = confederacy of dunces.

Hope after Swaggy K leaves they hire John L. Smith. He'll fit right in over there.
