My main concern has always been to retaining the the talent we have and signed . Allen Johnson is a known commodity in the track and field world . Now let the New Era began with thanks to AD Hilton 🙏 SMIB RESPECT Aggie Pride make Aggies Do .

I’m speechless. I don’t know that we’ve ever made such a great hire after such a huge loss in such a short time period.
Praying we’re seeing a new day across the board in Aggie athletics and this is the beginning.

So can we let the Athletics Department, at least temporarily do their jobs? When they fall short let 's hold them accountable but let's give Hilton and ultimately Chancellor Martin the space to operate. BTW, on paper a great hire! Keep in mind when we got Coach Ross he was coming from a DIII program. A lot to be hopeful for with this hire.

Obviously (or maybe not) Thrilla, my statement is rhetorical in nature. Please let me know if we are now required to deal in absolutes and I will govern myself accordingly.

Praying we’re seeing a new day across the board in Aggie athletics and this is the beginning. I see this hire as great, based on his credentials, but I think the football hiring's of Makrinos (FBS coaching experience) and Willis (NFL player, NFL coaching experience, P5 coaching experience, etc.) as the beginnings of a new day...Makrinos being first. |

It has been a good year as it pertains to quality of hires. |

Great hire! Checks all the boxes and done within a week of Ross leaving. Curious to hear what the complaints could be. None from me at all! |

This was a litmus test but not a signal to back off. Pressure makes diamonds. Continue to give and continue to apply pressure. Great job, AD Hilton. |

Accountability is important in this game for sure. |
