115
I have left the A&M football team alone up to this point of the season. I just couldn’t write about them.
It has been that ugly and most likely it will get much worse over the last month of the season, starting today. But this week, one number has been thrown around regarding the Aggies that I just can't let slip by: 115As in, the Texas A&M Aggies have the 115th ranked pass defense in division one football. And just in case you were wondering, that is out of 117 teams. And this is before they face Texas Tech and their pass happy offense.
115!
How is it that the defensive coordinator still has his job? How does he even sleep at night? Or show up to work and cash his paycheck for that matter. 115!
I've written here before about my mistrust for Dennis's ability to coach this team. But this is just silly. Not only is the defense so bad it makes your eyes bleed to watch them, but the whole team just appears to be poorly coached.
This past week, Aggies have finally begun discussing in earnest the future of this coaching staff. Not just the defensive coordinator, but the head coach hiimself. I don't like switching head coaches at the drop of a hat. But, as I thought back to Dennis's tenure at A&M, I couldn't find too many instances where he displayed any real coaching ability.
During his first season, there clearly was a talent gap. But now he had had three seasons to help build up the talent. And watching the players on the field, there is clearly a lot of talent now. Of course, we still don't have the talent to hang with the likes of the t-sips, but we should be able to beat most other teams in the division and conference. But they haven't played like that this year.
The team is talented, but poorly coached. That is all there is to it. From top to bottom.
115. They coaches should be so embarrased that they turn in their resignation letters themselves.
Did I mention that we are number 115 in pass defense in all of division one football?
