Plus when A&M's DC takes a head coaching job next offseason half of those Defensive recruits will jump ship.

No they won't. IF DeRuyter takes a head coaching job, and that's a big IF considering he has stated he won't take anything less than a BCS school head coaching gig (and it has to be the right one at that), then Nick Toth will be the new DC and he's one of our stud recruiters and better defensive coaches from a Xs and Os standpoint. He's also early 30s and a fiery SOB to boot.

Nick Toth is the main one along with Terrell Williams landing these kids.


And to your objection about A&M being a distant 4th... LSU was a distant 4th, 5th, 6th not too long ago, then they got the right coach and things turned around. A lot of you forget that LSU was absolutely terrible for 10 years with a couple of mediocre seasons sprinkled in... and on top of that it had been 40-50 years since their lone MNC.

Guys, all it takes is potential. You need to be in fertile recruiting grounds. You need the right coaches. And to a lesser extent you need the bells and whistles (facilities, large fanbase, gameday atmosphere, etc.) A&M has all of those, much like LSU did.

Will it happen? I have my doubts, but I'm also an Aggie pessimist, but to say its far fetched and not possible is ridiculous and jaded on your behalf.
