Texas A&M Football has seen two coaches, including current Head coach Jimbo Fisher lead the Aggies to 79 wins since the 2013 season, while Former Head coach Kevin Sumlin led Quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel to a 9-4 campaign in his final year in 2013 while winning 31 games over the course 4 more seasons until his firing at the end of 2017.
After Jimbo Fisher officially took over in 2018, his record stands at 39-21 and 23-18 in the SEC, which, to anyone not named Nick Saban or Kirby Smart is actually quite admirable, with one big blemish being last season’s horrendous 5-7 2022 struggle fest.
Now, focusing on the positive aspects of both coach’s collective leadership in the last ten seasons, Texas Football Life recently tracked every central Texas-based FBS program’s Ap Top 25 ranking streak measured through total weeks, and what may come as a shock to some, Texas A&M leads the state with 97 weeks ranked inside the Top 25, beating out the Baylor Bears (87 weeks), TCU Horned Frogs (65 weeks), and yes, the Texas Longhorns at 59 weeks.

Meaningless to some? Sure, and yes, rankings are just a number while reaching the College Football Playoff and competing for a National Title needs to be Fisher’s primary goal no matter how poorly last season transpired. However, no one can deny how consistent Texas A&M has been on the gridiron the last ten regular seasons outside of 2022, while the 2023 season aims to be what I have officially coined the “Jimbo Fisher revenge tour.” Gig ‘Em, and BTHO off-season.
