Well, I'm mad. I'm mad that Texas A&M (under Coach Fran) can't pass. Can't win a big game. The Thursday's night loss against Miami was just another horrible loss that Coach Fran can add to his belt. Its hard for me to understand why. He's supposedly has top recruiting classes every year.
Coach Fran's contract goes until 2012 so getting rid of him might be more expense than is tolerable for the A&M Athletic Department. So what to do? When I look across the college football landscape the programs that seem to be resurgent or dominant are led by young energetic coaches (Oklahoma, Alabama, LSU, Florida, USC). The ones that are struggling are led by old (some might say more experienced?) coaches (Michigan, Florida State, Texas A&M). Coach Fran seems to lack that young/energetic element on his staff. Since we can't get rid of Fran my hope is that we fire Les Koenning, offensive coordinator, and the entire offensive staff. My ideal staff would we one that incorporates the modern spread offense, because lets face it, that offense works. Just look at Appalachian State, Texas Tech, and Florida.
Well, my rant is over. I've aired my grievances. My hope is that we win the rest of our home games (4-0, with a win against Texas) and go 2-2 on the road. That would give us a 9-3 record. But, after seeing A&M struggle against Fresno State and Miami, we could easily finish the season at 6-6 or worse if we catch Baylor or Kansas on a good day.
Even if we land at 9-3, which is great lets remember why we (collective) got rid of RC Solcum. We were "tired" of those 8/9 win seasons, hovering around a #25 ranking. Supposedly, RC couldn't win the big game. Well, in my opinion, we're staring right down the barrel of a similar problem with Fran.
Well, lets see what happens. The future starts next weekend against Baylor....
