No it's actually not. You're cherry picking examples, which there will always be those. If you wanna win it all, you better have some highly rated players. Data backs this up
A&M has a couple deep threats but Max doesn’t have more than 3 seconds to get rid of the ball. The speed to separate is there. Brando isn’t wrong but we probably have the most freshmen in Div 1 starting which is a recipe for Ls in the SEC.
Tim Brando is absolutely right. A&M needs some Larry Kelms and Bucky Richardsons. I don't think Bucky was a 5-star recruit, but he had grit in buckets. Same with Dat Nyugen.
A&M was too young in experience to be rated as high as they were. They have not come along as fast as they would have liked. Why they are hurtung is they don't have much from recruiting to show for 3-4 years ago on the field vTheir 2 loses were to teams with 4-5 and 6th year players and it showed.
I dont get to watch A&M play very often but when i do seems they dont seem to have that winning atitude they have tremendous talent but something is just missing in their performance. Might be helpful if JIMBO would hire a really great offensive coordinator and then get out of the way and let them run the offense. They have championship talent but its just not producing maybe its just youth and inexperience, If thats the case then it seems they are not being coached properly.

Bingo. Simple solution, have NIL levels of capped money, each school has a tier 1 through 10 level, an amount that all power 5 schools can afford, the school selects who they want to offer their number 1 tier amount to, and so on. Each school has a capped amount, say 5 million, as long as they don’t go over that, they can offer more or less of their choice to recruits. This would eliminate these mega money schools from landing kids, that really don’t want to be there. This would level the playing field somewhat. Bama would still do it under the table as many top schools have been but it would at least settle down the NIL bullshit that is out of control.

I've been a fan of Brando's work for years, but this take is national media-level clueless concerning the problems with the A&M football program right now. He starts out by trying to claim that the "money people" at A&M, folks Brando wouldn't know if they broke into his house, are the problem with the program. Oh, you mean the same people who've paid for the best facilities in college football and who wrote a blank check for a national-championship HC and staff? Right. Paying to hire a national-champion coach was the problem. What an asinine assertion. I guess Alabama was dumb for throwing money at Saban fresh off his meltdown in Miami 15 years ago. Then he asserts without any evidence that A&M's boosters are somehow akin to the boosters at Auburn. When have A&M's boosters ever had a Tuberville situation? Never. When have they ever tried to meddle with Jimbo's program. Never. And that's why Brando is so vague in his assertions, because he's working off of nothing. Fisher has total control of this program, to the point that he's almost beyond pressure from outside, unfortunately. Brando then goes on to claim that A&M has "too many 5-stars," that we need more dawgs and fewer cats, or some such other garbage. What? When has Saban ever suffered for a glut of 5-star players? Or Meyer? Or Smart? Or Dabo? Having too much talent on a football team has _never_ been and will never be a problem for A&M or any other program. He may as well claim that the drinks are too cold in the Bright or the cushions are too soft on the locker-room seats. The real problem in College Station isn't too much talent or "grit" or boosters or any of the other ghosts Brando is conjuring in this take. The problem is poor coaching. Look at the clown show of an offense we're running out there every week. They've been struggling to move the ball for years now, and everyone's been begging Jimbo to change his scheme or hire an OC to run the offense. Look at the ridiculous schemes Durkin is running on defense. He's got us in 3-man front all game long when D-line is the strength of the team. Teams have gashed that front all year, but has Durkin made any changes? Hell no. He won't change, just as Jimbo won't change his offense to accommodate a new QB. Poor coaching is the problem, not too much money or any of that other crap Brando talks about here. It's been a lot of years since Brando covered football in this part of the world, which is made pretty obvious in his inane take here. The only thing A&M boosters are guilty of is handing the keys to a national-champion coach who'd been more successful in his career than anyone not named "Saban" or "Meyer." After that, whatever happens--or doesn't happen--falls squarely on the shoulders of Coach Fisher and the rest of his coaching staff.
So they have continued to have bad coaching, especially since they joined the SEC? All that money and can't find a winning Coach? LSU won a NC with ED Ogeron. A$M has other problems.
The grunts they DO have are watching freshmen who have never done anything wave hundreds in their face... how could that locker room possibly not be toxic?
A major problem with buying 5 star players like the aggies have is this. 5 star players get to choose where they want to play and most of them grow up with a favorite team. These 5 star players that the aggies bought would not have chosen to go to aggie land if they had not have been paid big bucks. They have zero allegiance in their heart or mind to the aggies.
Which creates another problem and that is you have players that have never played a down getting more money and attention than players that have been there.
@@jameslong4453 Don't now a damn thing about college football do you. With the new rules about paying college players there is nothing illegal about it to turn into the NCAA. Neither did i imply there was anything illegal about it did I. Since you must be an aggie fan, you obviously know that many 5 star players don't just suddenly decide to attend a school which has no history of being a NC contender. Did you miss the video (there is your proof) of the recruiter telling the players on the recruiting trip to aggie land about how much the boosters would be paying them to be an aggie or do you just pretend it didn't happen. Regardless, the aggies remain exactly what Paul Finbaum said about them when they joined the SEC, he said "they are irrelevant". The only thing aggies have to look forward to is that they will go 6-6 but still be ranked in the top 10 at the start of next year because of the SEC bias.
You are talking out of your ass!! You are simply regurgitating what has been said on the internet by some idiot fan at OU!! Every single top program has bought their players, to act as if ONLY A&M is buying their players is flat out ignorant!! Another thing A&M has been recruiting lights out since Jimbo got to A&M so it’s not THAT big of a stretch! The problem with NIL is that you are rewarding high school players something they haven’t earned or really proven that they are worth “x” amount of money! You take the motivation away!! But if you think Alabama, Georgia doesn’t pay for their players you are naive!! 🤦🏻♂️
LOL on Bielema...UTSA flew up to the "Big Ten" stadium last year in Illinois and literally ran the ball down their throat...217 rushing yards, 6.1 yards per play...they never knew what hit 'em!
We have players that want to be aggies. We have lower rated players that we develop, and they become leaders. We don't have huge numbers of them right now. Leon O Neal Jr., Michael Clemons, Ainias Smith, Caleb Chapman, Seth Small, Bryce Foster, Tyreek Chappell, and several more. The issue is a lot of those guys graduated, went pro, or transfered for a fresh start. We've got a lot more guys we have taken a chance on and they just haven't seen the field. Idk if Jimbos staff is squandering these more developmental players or what, but we have guys that fir the mold of program anchors. Just lacking in numbers this year. I do wish we got back to our roots more, and pulled in more guys that get overlooked, and less of these flashy attention seeking players.
Dear Tim, Max Johnson was not good enough nor going to be good enough at LSU. Why would we expect a different result at aTm? He has looked very similar and pedestrian as aTm’s QB. Would not have mattered had he started the season!
He's still better than King so while he might not be a generational QB he might have avoided the catastrophe against App St. He also threw 26 TD against 6 picks last year at LSU on a team with a terrible O line, lame duck coach and not enough players to fill the scholarship limit. King is a turnover machine. 4 picks and a couple of fumbles in 3 games. Johnson first two games? No picks and just as many TD's.
You still need talent, the blue chip ratio is a thing for a reason, you don't win titles w.o 5 stars, you need other things, of course, but recruiting is more than half the battle
The carnage that will occur with elite kids chasing cash and not development and instead of being coached properly and going 1st round in the draft they now go 6th round and some never drafted. Wasted talent
Dude, please. TAM doesn’t just sprint to the top of a recruiting class out of the blue. TAM has one natty 82 years ago when they wore leather helmets, not much of a winning football tradition, and all of a sudden, they very top recruit is dying to play for Jimbo Fisher and go to the Mecca of College Station?

He starts out by trying to claim that the "money people" at A&M, folks Brando wouldn't know if they broke into his house, are the problem with the program. Oh, you mean the same people who've paid for the best facilities in college football and who wrote a blank check for a national-championship HC and staff? Right. Paying to hire a national-champion coach was the problem. What an asinine assertion. I guess Alabama was dumb for throwing money at Saban fresh off his meltdown in Miami 15 years ago.
Then he asserts without any evidence that A&M's boosters are somehow akin to the boosters at Auburn. When have A&M's boosters ever had a Tuberville situation? Never. When have they ever tried to meddle with Jimbo's program. Never. And that's why Brando is so vague in his assertions, because he's working off of nothing. Fisher has total control of this program, to the point that he's almost beyond pressure from outside, unfortunately.
Brando then goes on to claim that A&M has "too many 5-stars," that we need more dawgs and fewer cats, or some such other garbage. What? When has Saban ever suffered for a glut of 5-star players? Or Meyer? Or Smart? Or Dabo? Having too much talent on a football team has _never_ been and will never be a problem for A&M or any other program. He may as well claim that the drinks are too cold in the Bright or the cushions are too soft on the locker-room seats.
The real problem in College Station isn't too much talent or "grit" or boosters or any of the other ghosts Brando is conjuring in this take. The problem is poor coaching. Look at the clown show of an offense we're running out there every week. They've been struggling to move the ball for years now, and everyone's been begging Jimbo to change his scheme or hire an OC to run the offense. Look at the ridiculous schemes Durkin is running on defense. He's got us in 3-man front all game long when D-line is the strength of the team. Teams have gashed that front all year, but has Durkin made any changes? Hell no. He won't change, just as Jimbo won't change his offense to accommodate a new QB. Poor coaching is the problem, not too much money or any of that other crap Brando talks about here.
It's been a lot of years since Brando covered football in this part of the world, which is made pretty obvious in his inane take here. The only thing A&M boosters are guilty of is handing the keys to a national-champion coach who'd been more successful in his career than anyone not named "Saban" or "Meyer." After that, whatever happens--or doesn't happen--falls squarely on the shoulders of Coach Fisher and the rest of his coaching staff.
So they have continued to have bad coaching, especially since they joined the SEC? All that money and can't find a winning Coach? LSU won a NC with ED Ogeron. A$M has other problems.
The grunts they DO have are watching freshmen who have never done anything wave hundreds in their face... how could that locker room possibly not be toxic?
"There's a first time for everything, Tim."
Brando is spot on!
A major problem with buying 5 star players like the aggies have is this. 5 star players get to choose where they want to play and most of them grow up with a favorite team. These 5 star players that the aggies bought would not have chosen to go to aggie land if they had not have been paid big bucks. They have zero allegiance in their heart or mind to the aggies.
Which creates another problem and that is you have players that have never played a down getting more money and attention than players that have been there.
Dude fuck off. Just because you don't understand why players want to come here doesn't mean there aren't lots of reasons to.
Sense you have proof of what you say why not turn it in to the NCAA. If yo accuse some one of some thing back it up.
@@jameslong4453 Don't now a damn thing about college football do you. With the new rules about paying college players there is nothing illegal about it to turn into the NCAA. Neither did i imply there was anything illegal about it did I. Since you must be an aggie fan, you obviously know that many 5 star players don't just suddenly decide to attend a school which has no history of being a NC contender. Did you miss the video (there is your proof) of the recruiter telling the players on the recruiting trip to aggie land about how much the boosters would be paying them to be an aggie or do you just pretend it didn't happen. Regardless, the aggies remain exactly what Paul Finbaum said about them when they joined the SEC, he said "they are irrelevant". The only thing aggies have to look forward to is that they will go 6-6 but still be ranked in the top 10 at the start of next year because of the SEC bias.
You are talking out of your ass!! You are simply regurgitating what has been said on the internet by some idiot fan at OU!!
Every single top program has bought their players, to act as if ONLY A&M is buying their players is flat out ignorant!!
Another thing A&M has been recruiting lights out since Jimbo got to A&M so it’s not THAT big of a stretch!
The problem with NIL is that you are rewarding high school players something they haven’t earned or really proven that they are worth “x” amount of money!
You take the motivation away!!
But if you think Alabama, Georgia doesn’t pay for their players you are naive!! 🤦🏻♂️
Solid break down on A&M and Tim was right.
He was was also completely way off on Houston!
LOL on Bielema...UTSA flew up to the "Big Ten" stadium last year in Illinois and literally ran the ball down their throat...217 rushing yards, 6.1 yards per play...they never knew what hit 'em!
That was a really good UTSA team. Highly underrated
We have players that want to be aggies. We have lower rated players that we develop, and they become leaders. We don't have huge numbers of them right now. Leon O Neal Jr., Michael Clemons, Ainias Smith, Caleb Chapman, Seth Small, Bryce Foster, Tyreek Chappell, and several more. The issue is a lot of those guys graduated, went pro, or transfered for a fresh start. We've got a lot more guys we have taken a chance on and they just haven't seen the field. Idk if Jimbos staff is squandering these more developmental players or what, but we have guys that fir the mold of program anchors. Just lacking in numbers this year. I do wish we got back to our roots more, and pulled in more guys that get overlooked, and less of these flashy attention seeking players.
I could listen to you guys and Brando talk ball all day Flaming dragon was pretty quiet though what's up with that
Dear Tim, Max Johnson was not good enough nor going to be good enough at LSU. Why would we expect a different result at aTm? He has looked very similar and pedestrian as aTm’s QB. Would not have mattered had he started the season!
He's still better than King so while he might not be a generational QB he might have avoided the catastrophe against App St. He also threw 26 TD against 6 picks last year at LSU on a team with a terrible O line, lame duck coach and not enough players to fill the scholarship limit. King is a turnover machine. 4 picks and a couple of fumbles in 3 games. Johnson first two games? No picks and just as many TD's.
Sometimes a blind squirrel finds an acorn.
Great insight
This team might not be winning but he's holding a 90 million dollar lottery ticket
The “Best “ on College Football
You still need talent, the blue chip ratio is a thing for a reason, you don't win titles w.o 5 stars, you need other things, of course, but recruiting is more than half the battle
The carnage that will occur with elite kids chasing cash and not development and instead of being coached properly and going 1st round in the draft they now go 6th round and some never drafted. Wasted talent
Miss Tim Brando was excellent
We ve gone pass all these
Move on pls
Aggies gon whoop dat roll tide ass
The players got their loot. Who cares about winning at this point.
Crain is the Best !
Just had to reply since Crain is my last name. Most are spelled Crane. Have a great day!
@@sarahcrain8083 Grazie …Au Revoir Arrivederci!
Right about one team only 5 games into a season and wrong about other teams, but let's only talk about the teams "I'm right about".
yeah, especially since so many people thought the same thing. Jimbo is a fraud and I'm glad to see he's exposing himself.
Cry more
Dude, please. TAM doesn’t just sprint to the top of a recruiting class out of the blue. TAM has one natty 82 years ago when they wore leather helmets, not much of a winning football tradition, and all of a sudden, they very top recruit is dying to play for Jimbo Fisher and go to the Mecca of College Station? Lol. Brando’s point is spot on about the top team in recruiting. If TAM was 10th in recruiting, it wouldn’t be a point. Now stop crying about the aggies. 😂😂😂😂😂
@@litedawg what are you even talking about?! Lol I'm just pointing out the fact the dudes been wrong on other occasions and no one wants to point out he's wrong 😂😂
@@k.c.6846 1) who's not paying players? And who's saying that isn't the reason for their success lol 2) who's crying? Dudes right about one team and acts like "see how right I am even though I've also been wrong." I'm just pointing out no one points out where this guys been wrong. I can be wrong 5 times, right 1, and then that makes me a sports analyst right?! 😂😂
Tex Am and Auburn needs morphine to alleviate excruciating intolerable pain
one in 20 years ain’t bad Tim, earn that paycheck son. /getsblocked
Jimbo is just an overrated coach with a lot of money to spend. He would be doing the same thing wit the Alabama OR UGA roster.
I don't like Jimbo but he was dead on when talking about Saban.
As an LSU fan, I think he is great for T8n4.
Saban was dead right on how TAM recruited this past year
He was mad bc Saban spoke the truth. A hit dog will holla
Ooh!
expectations are through the roof due to jimbos contract and the ridiculous NIL $$$ they used to buy the recruiting class…sadly there’s no patience to develop the class and who knows who’s gonna transfer out just to get away from the noise. They’ve gotta mess.
I love these comments. Just awesome.
Jimbo Fisher and Brain Kelly is the most overpaid and overrated coach in the SEC. They both can’t coach well and develop players in the SEC. No matter how many talents players they have. SEC is just built different for them.
Brian Kelly is doing good so far despite all the setbacks they had in the beginning of the year and season
Tim is right about something? Shocking. He was so right about Scott Frost.
Neither of you looked into what happened at FSU at the tail end of Fishers career. The same thing is happening at A&M. Poor culture.
What if A&M beat Bama again ? Wont feel so smart on ole Jimbo then
One great win and 4 terrible losses every year ain’t what they’re payin him for
@@joshberry66 Yeah but its win against Bama which means it is mostly everyone else Natty
@@tomgreen1721 I hear ya but I also wouldn’t count on beating bama every year lol
Just a reminder. Kevin Sumlin beat Bama too.
What if monkeys flew out of your butt?
After Bama spanks A&M this weekend the players that Jimbo bought should pitch in for his buyout. Roll Tide
NIL Is The Problem. These guys are only worried about 🤑. Some of them anyway. 🤔
Does Tim Brando still think Alabama had the refs making calls for them when they played Texas? Asking for a friend, lol. Love the conspiracy theories
