This is just my analysis and business dogma, Coach has a year to decide his fate, this is not about liking a person you don’t spend time with or respect, I have much respect for Coach as a person! In essence it’s a honest look in the mirror, and what’s ahead, last seasons money is spent! Raw data is were great ideas and creations come from. If you know how to read it! I wouldn’t trust you feeling people with spending my money.

So, if people dont have the same level of tolerance about issues as you do, they need to just write a 6 figure check or shut up? Do you realize how hypocritical that sounds ... when, thus far, the Lord has not yet willed you to write a 6 figure check yourself? I’m not the one harping about Coach Washington or Coach Jones, right? I’m not the one starting the 50-11 threads inquiring about how to replace them, right? Sure, I may participate in the hypotheticals, but I’m not calling for them to be let go to have the staffs adjusted

I thought we were in the season of advent and not Halloween. We have covered racism, exceptionalism, mediocrity, self-love, self-hate, politics, loyalty, disloyalty, science, conspiracies , satellites, hair and who knows what else. I’m waiting for eugenics and the prison industrial complex to be covered and I’m good.

I don't think A&T fans are any different than any other passionate sports fans...we want our teams to perform well and win. Do we get upset when we don't perform well and win...absolutely! Especially this season. We (A&T) stepped out of the HBCU world and joined a PWI conference. And that decision put a bullseye on our backs. A lot of MEAC fans hated us for being uppidy and moving out of the old neighborhood. And HBCU purist hated us for abandoning our culture. Hell, a lot of our own fans hated us for that move. So what do we do this past season? We play awful football! We get out coached, out talented and out disciplined! Now Aggies have always had a target on our backs but this is the first time in years that we couldn't do much about it. And that's upset a lot of Aggie fans. Now we still have that bullseye on our backs and its feeling damn irritating. I don't know what will happen next football season but if things don't improve there will be a lot more fan complaints. Alumni need to do one of two things at this point: 1.) Donate huge 5 to 6-figure checks and seriously influence the Admin’s decision making or; 2.) Find a hobby, get off social media, and start ignoring these opinions of people who aren’t Aggies. Some of us spend way too much time debating things that we have 0 control over. And you withholding your $200 per season ticket book isn’t going to move the needle. 🤷🏿♂️ That's your answer to every damn thing.

There's nothing wrong with writing 6 figure checks but that's far from the only way to influence things inside a college athletic department.
I did not write a 6 figure check this year, but I single handedly got the university to institute a vaccine policy at all home football and basketball games this year. That is my proudest accomplishment of 2021.
School leaders listen to top boosters but they listen to the rank and file supporters also.

If we get our facts straight and approach the discussion with respect we can accomplish a lot. Oh and thank you for pushing the University's vaccine program. I think it was the most serious approach to the pandemic.

Prior to this season, the A&T football program won four HBCU national championships in five years. Coach Washington himself had the best two-year start of any football coach in A&T history - winning 19 games. Therefore, what should be the appropriate response from our fanbase now that Washington and company have suffered only their first losing season since 2011? Short answer; He!! yes! Appropriate response....thanks for all you've done. What happened and What can we do to help get things back on track?

In today's upset fan news.....
NCA&Ts coaching staff is incompetent because we haven't announced a signing for early signing day.
Can't wait for tomorrow smh

This is good news. It appears he appreciated the loyalty our coaching staff showed by sticking with him throughout the year.

It also sounds like he is imploring his teammates to not jump ship into the portal just because of this season.

That could be a good thing but, I hope he doesn't stunt the growths of Tuten and the young man from Georgia. Out of all my concerns, the least of my worries were/are the running back position...even if they didn't perform up to the standard we are used to seeing.
