'I Don't Believe in A&M!' College Football Analyst Sounds Off On Aggies, Jimbo Fisher

You can say a lot of things about the Texas A&M Aggies football team, but you can't say they don't possess talent. And that's one of the things that makes their plight so frustrating and confusing to fans.

You can say a lot of things about the Texas A&M Aggies football team, but you can't say they don't possess talent. And that's one of the things that makes their plight so frustrating and confusing to fans.

In 2022, when they were tagged with the "greatest recruiting class of all time," the program went 5-7 overall and just 2-6 in SEC play. How in the world does that add up? 

Fox Sports college football analyst and former Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Joel Klatt reacted to Saturday's Aggies loss to the Miami Hurricanes, and he thinks he knows what the problem is.

“The Jimbo Fisher experiment at Texas A&M is not working," Klatt said on his podcast. "That’s a failed experiment. And I don’t know what you’re gonna do. They’re the fourth-most talented roster in the sport. And just gave up 48 to Miami? I don’t know if I believe in Miami yet, but I can tell you what I don’t believe in: Texas A&M. That’s a terrible loss. Texas A&M is now 1-7 in their last eight games against Power Five teams. That’s staggering, they’re the fourth-most talented roster in college football. Folks, this is not working.”

Certainly, injuries have played a part in the last eight games against Power Five teams, but with the recruiting reputation Fisher has, the Aggies should be deep enough to withstand the injury storm to an extent. 

And from a sheer results standpoint, every single piece of criticism that the Aggies and Fisher receive is completely warranted. The only thing to do is prove the cynics wrong, but that ship has kind of sailed after the loss to the Hurricanes.

Fisher and the Aggies will take on UL-Monroe on Saturday in an attempt to right the ship.
