The problem with A&M, is that Jimbo has to improve upon a modicum of success. Herman only had to improve upon Charlie Strong. (which has happened but is largely intangible thus far)
If Jimbo does worse than Sumlin in his first year, the road won't get any easier. These are not your Aggies of yesteryear. These are entitled t-sips wearing maroon.
Aggies are in a dangerous situation. Sumlin did not SUCK as a coach. Just like when we canned Mack, the roof fell in because the next coach couldn't get Mack's unacceptable 8 wins. If Jimbo doesn't at least match Sumlin's output right out of the box, then there will be tremors underneath the bonfire.
