"Thanks for your continuing support of Aggie Athletics. The vision for our football program, consistent with the vision for all our other sports, is to put ourselves in contention to play for conference championships and be a regular post-season participant.
"In reflecting on the recently completed football season, we did not meet the expectations of our student-athletes, our coaches, our administration, or our fan base. The level of success over the previous five years (43 wins vs. 24 losses and five straight bowl appearances) has become our measuring stick.
"Head coach Matt Wells has been a vital part of that success, and no one is taking the disappointment of this season harder than him.
