Do you bring Mike Sherman to the SEC with A&M?

I don't know. The dude can't finish a game for shite, but these statistics make a case. I guess the most important stat is 5-4.

---

Even more important is how A&M finishes the season. If they finish 6-6, I think he's gone.

Fire Sherman. Hire Nutt.

Keep Nutt in the SEC.

I think we are stuck with him for at least two more years unless an NFL team hired him as an OC.

he will last this year

next year he has the built in excuse for losing with joining the SEC and losing almost every key skills position player so he will keep his job just off of that.

year two of SEC is where he will end up getting the ax.


it took Fran getting publicly outed selling information about the team to gather the political capitol to can him so I dont see the well liked (by A&M admin peeps) Sherman getting a shorter leash.

He'll be back

Sherman has a worse record and pretty much worse stats across the board than Fran did at this same point in his tenure. He needs to go.

Things under Sherman are no where near as bad as under Fran. We are losing because:

A. Our defense sucks. Defensive Coordinator Tim DeRuyter is in his 2nd year. Give him a chance.

B. Turnovers.

There have been a number of blown decisions with 4th and short, field goal, punt, etc. Also, I would blame abandoning the running game against OSU as much as the turnovers for that loss. I would force an Offensive Coordinator/play caller on Shermin and fire wide receivers coach Troy Walters. Our receivers have regressed this year. Way to damned many dropped passes. Fuller catches all of the blame on Texags, but EZ has been down this season, and Swope had a couple of brutal drops last Saturday.

Here is a breakdown of our offense in our four losses. I was trying to figure out how we kept moving the ball in the 3rd quarter but not scoring.

Our season in a nutshell... we put up 537 yards of offense on OU and lose. They outscore us 28-0 in the 3rd quarter. Two interceptions and a 14 yard punt mean that three of those drives were 31, 28, and 39 yards. The other was 68 yards.

From the Bryan/College-Station Eagle, dated 21 July 2011.

quote:

---

Sherman, who is 19-19 in three seasons, will be paid $2.2 million per year through March 2016, with A&M holding options for 2016 and 2017.

Sherman's current seven-year contract was scheduled to run through 2015 and it paid him $1.8 million annually. That contract, signed in December 2007, didn't have a buyout clause. Under the new agreement approved by Texas A&M's Board of Regents on Friday, Sherman would be paid $1.8 million if the pact would be terminated by A&M without cause before March 2012. The buyout would drop to $1.44 million in 2013, eventually sliding to $500,000 in 2016.

I'd be willing to be 1000 internets that Johnny Manziel is the starter next year. No reason to waste his redshirt this year.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--bringing in a new coach for the first year in the SEC, with the losses we are having at the skill positions, would be like brining in a relief pitcher and asking him to intentionally walk the first batter. Sherman will be left in to take one for the team. Beyond that, his future is very iffy.
