    Well, I guess you could call it that, but you could say the same about Saban if winning a national championship is the only way you can keep things on the same level....

    They had a really bad year this year, but double digit wins the previous years after the NC, is still pretty damn good and a step up for A&M.

    Virtually every list of top college coaches you search lists Fisher in the top 5 or so, some higher than that. None of us has a crystal ball, so it's easy to take pot shots because you've got a 50/50 chance of being right. The bottom line is this is a significant step up in caliber of coach for A&M. They are taking a risk, but you have to give them credit for going for it.

    He is clearly an upgrade over sumlin. If you dont see that, you are biased.

    This, of course, is from an Aggie site, but numbers are numbers. What are you looking at?

    It’s a ton of money, definitely.

    Not a huge fan of the contract personally but his resume is legit. The guy has won less than 9 games once in this career (this year, w his starting qb going down in the first game) and less than 10 twice.

    I realize these are Aggie's numbers. My thoughts are that A&M wouldn't have had the good years in Sumlin's first two year if not for Manziel, would have been middle of road all of Sumlin's tenure, and he would have been fired probably couple years back. On the other hand Florida State play's in ACC, and has a tradition of winning long before Jumbo became Head coach. Fisher has basically spent a great deal of his career at FSU. Can't really tell you how many years he's actually been the head coach. My point being I don't think Fisher will do much better than Sumlin did, may have that graph spike early on, but I don't think Fisher is any better of a Coach than Sumlin, could be wrong.

    I think virtually everyone in and around college football will tell you fisher is a better coach than sumlin. That really not in question. Will he have better results. Time will tell.

    And don’t forget the guy won a NC when he was OC for saban at LSU. He’s got as good a resume as anyone out there this side of the guy at Alabama.

    Hope he has good success at recruiting next year. But mostly, I want him to run a squeaky clean ship, which is hard to do this day and age.

    Speaking of recruiting next year, Aggies just landed the #1 safety in the 2019 class... 5* Brian Williams
