The Texas A&M football program hasn't won a national championship since 1939. As a member of the Big 12, the Aggies captured only one conference championship (1998). Since joining the Southeastern Conference in 2012, College Station's favorite sons have finished in the AP Top 25 just three times, twice with Johnny Manziel at quarterback.
But Jimbo Fisher is head coach now, and with his arrival, the Texas A&M brand is growing faster than many programs could ever dream of in East Texas.
In his first season leading the Texas A&M Aggies, Fisher's team finished the 2018 season with a 9-4 record and ranked No. 16 in the final AP Poll. On top of that, the Aggies landed the nation's fourth-best recruiting class heading into 2019 and sixth-best heading into 2020, according to 247Sports.
It's safe to say expectations are at an all-time high. Despite the hype, the maroon and white haven't accomplished anything just yet. That's not stopping Fisher and company from doing everything they can to turn Texas A&M into a perennial College Football Playoff contender for the next decade, though.
