The Green Bay Packers are hot, so what does the struggling Texas A&M Aggies do? They hire one.
4-4 in conference play. That's the dismal campaign the Aggies are looking at right now.
And as the 2007 NCAA college football season winds down towards the final BCS bowl games, as expected, the Aggies are nowhere to be found in any ranking system whatsoever. Hell, we could use another team to come out of nowhere and rank on top (like most teams do this season...) but the Aggies just can't seem to get the job done.
With Texas A&M Aggies head coach Dennis Franchione resigning his post after what has been an abysmal year, the Aggies sign former Green Bay Packers head coach Mike Sherman. Why him? Well, for one, they know that the Green Bay Packers are just kicking ASS in the NFL and at this point, they need all the help they can have to at least give themselves a chance next season.
Mike Sherman will return to the school where he coached the offensive line from 1989-93 and again under R.C. Slocum from 1995-96.
''It's like coming back home,'' Mike Sherman said of returning to the Texas A&M Aggies. ''I told my wife, you can unpack the boxes on this move. I've moved about 10 times in my career. You can put up the pictures and throw the boxes away, because we're going to be here awhile.''
Staying in Texas could very well be an understatement for Mike Sherman after he signed a $1.8 million contract that will keep him in Texas for seven years. Jeez... That's longer than the 17 relationships I've had, combined.
''I've had opportunities at other jobs I didn't take,'' Sherman said. ''I've been a head coach. I know what it's going to take to be a head coach. I understand the commitment and sacrifice my family's going to have to make.''
''So I'm not going to delve into something unless I feel like we have a legitimate chance to win championships.''
Hmm... If that's the case, why in the hell did he made the trip here in the first place? This team is just terrible.
