Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher sounds off on Texas rivalry at SEC Spring Meetings
MIRAMAR BEACH, Fla. — They say everything is bigger in Texas, except for maybe in-state rivalries.

"The Aggies had an SEC-high 31 players transfer out this offseason while bringing in 11." - MG
Dang, that's ALOT of transfers! How many of those were from their #1 class?? How many of those were getting NIL money? Would be interesting to see the breakdown. Either way, things are on fire at A&M!
Wow, 31 transfers out. And with A&M not exactly lacking for opportunities for playing time. Makes you appreciate just that much more Smart's approach to recruiting.
Very possibly the MOPCOAT... most over-paid coach of all time. Go Dawgs!
Not possibly. Absolutely. All that '22 (?) class talent better jell this year of Jimbo's seat will be extremely hot.
If Jimbo Fisher was my team's coach I'd find another team. Jimbo traditionally has won because he recruits well and his teams have more talent than most. Jimbo is the epitome of the college coach, with a good record, who wins because his team is more talented not because he is a great coach. With all the HS talent now available across the country, coaches like Jimbo are starting to be exposed.
Can Jimbo dig deep and step it up? IDK. He'll need to to compete w/CKS and UGA. CKS has UGA outworking everyone else.
This is the place where NIL starts to break down. We harp on it as something that ruins things - and don't get me wrong,I do think it makes things dirty - but there's a point (and CKS ultiimately attests to this with his comments about his recruiting approach) where it becomes an irrelevant issue. If a dude can make bank for 1-2 years, but be part of a program that he learns isn't going to actually help him get anywhere once he's done with school, does that short-term money make sense or become a sway? I wouldn't think so. It may be a factor in years 1-2, but my guess is by year 3, guys start to figure it out. How that affects rosters is something that's yet to be seen, but my hope is CKS is true to his word and a good strawberry picker, and it's something that won't hardly affect us at all.
LOL? Would you buy a used car from this man? I'm going to chuckle when A&M has to eat his stupidly massive contract and send he and Petrino to the unemployment line. Not that either scumbag will be hurting.
And Bear Alexander landed with the new "Urban Meyer" at USC. I'm praying on my knees that UGA plays them in a playoff game. That will be a sight to behold. Kirby can spank Lincoln Riley into oblivion and send him back to his cushy ciliffside mansion.
