re: To recruits considering Texas A&M, Fisher’s record essentially the same as Kevin Sumlin’s

Consider this, Sumlin took over a team the had gone 7-6 (4-5 Big 12) and in his first year in the SEC went 11-2(6-2) losing only to LSU and Florida (both ranked) and handing ALabama it's only loss that year. That was his best season.

Jimbo took over for a Sumlin team that had gone 7-6(4-4) and promptly went 9-4(5-3) by virtue (IMO) of some pretty badly blown calls in the LSU game. And that has been his best non-covid season. That Covid season really helped Jimbo's numbers out.
