I understand such things, and by no means am I calling him a bad coach.
But, the reality of the situation is, large school like A&M require their schools to compete for a national championship. If they don't, the coaches are gone. If coaching changes don't work, then the AD is gone. And in some places, they'll replace the President of the college.
If you don't think so, you are fooling yourself. Heck, in HS baseball, if you don't win in a lot of districts, you will be on the street. It's the nature of the beast.
