Once Texas A&M football hired Jimbo Fisher away from Florida State, the hype train was full of passengers. I don’t remember another program who had more “dark horse” predictions from the SEC going into the 2018 season. Several college football experts expected Fisher could take an above average, but not elite, roster and vault them to contender status if everything fell the right way.
Well, as it turns out, Fisher is human and the team went through its ups and downs in 2018. They ultimately finished 9-4 and any fan of the team being honest with themselves could feel good about the 2018 season and the future of the program.
