Youth as an excuse only lasts for two years. It is bullshit that we keep seeing that as an excuse. TU had a great recruiting class in ‘02, and within 3 years they won the Rose Bowl and in 4 they netted a BCS championship. That’s even more annoying when you realize that as much as Franchione sucks, he is still better than Mack Brown, the idiot who benched Applewhite for Simms. Brown just got lucky and got Vince and the D-Coordinator from Auburn.

Actually, on second thought, which idiot was it who took the extra point after going up by 1 against Clemson instead of going for 2, only to watch the Tigers scrape by on a last second field goal to steal the victory in last season’s opener? Ah, well . . .

Torbush needs to go NOW; as for “coach” Fran, I say we give him one more year.

Alabama fans crack me up. If Fran were still there and having 8-3 or 9-2 seasons, they’d be lapping it up. But he left, so whaa! It’s pathetic.

Meanwhile, I’d agree with aggieforlife, except that I’d give the new defensive coordinator 2 years before firing Fran.

And pray that a new defensive coordinator does not mean having to suffer through another year of sucking while they learn a new system.

I say fire Torbush when the season finishes and give Fran one more year. If the disaster continues, fire Fran and go after the Texas defensive coordinator and do whatever it takes to bring him in, or go after Gary Kubiac.

I agree with Jock97. Torbush is hopeless. Schemes from Tecmobowl would work better.

Our defense lacks aggression. I thought Justin Warren was supposed to be a bad ass, but Iowa State’s running back, Hicks, hit Justin and knocked him back on the goal line like he was a High School Bitch.

Carl Torbush had 2 starting seniors at corner last season and an NFL caliber defensive tackle. Prior to this season, our defensive line was touted as the best in the Big-XII and many considered it one of the top 5 in the nation. We have a pre-season All American safety. I don’t think we can blame the dismal performances on youth or lack of athletic prowess.

Look at Baylor, do they recruit better than us? They have a very solid defensive backfield. Torbush is completely lost and his scheme isn’t working, nor do the players progress any from week to week.

How is it that we’ve had top 10-15 recruiting classes for the past 3 years, only 11 “season-ending” injuries and yet we still keep getting the excuse of “a bunch of young guys?” Regardless of how young or old, talented people don’t make the same mistakes over and over and over unless they’re badly coached.

True Fan: If Torbush was the best defensive coordinator in the nation, the Texas A&M defense would not be ranked LAST in the Big 12.

I agree, fire the entire coaching staff.
