| 0:00.0 | Coming up on this Signing Day edition of the Audible, Bruce talks to Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher. |
| 0:06.5 | We recap the other events from Signing Day and talk about the bizarre Southern Miss attempt to hire Art Bryles. |
| 0:16.1 | And you get treated to the sounds of construction from my kitchen. |
| 0:18.5 | Coming up next. |
| 0:36.3 | Music to the sounds of construction for my kitchen. Coming up next. Welcome to the Audible, presented by Trader Joe's. |
| 0:39.3 | I'm Stuart Mandel, joined by Bruce Feldman. |
| 0:42.3 | It is signing day, at least the second signing day of this cycle. |
| 0:46.3 | And Bruce, you were able to talk about a coach who had a monster class in 2019. |
| 0:51.3 | Yeah, Jimbo Fisher coming off his first full season. |
| 0:54.2 | They had a nice season on the field and an even bigger season off it where they dominated |
| 1:00.4 | in the state of Texas against their arch rival, the University of Texas. |
| 1:06.0 | So interesting stuff going on. |
| 1:08.0 | As you'll hear from Jimbo in a minute, we covered a bunch of subjects, and we covered him pretty fast because he talks incredibly fast. |
| 1:14.9 | He is the hardest coach in America to transcribe. So fortunately, you don't have to do that. Listen to the interview. |
| 1:20.3 | And then we're going to talk some more about signing day events around the country. |
| 1:24.8 | And now we're pleased to be joined by the head coach of the Texas A&M Aggies. |
| 1:29.0 | Jimbo Fisher, coach, thanks for joining us today. I got to start out by asking, your arch rival school, |
| 1:34.6 | Texas has had a good season on the field and a good year, by all accounts, recruiting. But you guys have |
| 1:39.9 | dominated the state of Texas. According to 247, six of the top 13 kids in the state of Texas are going to be Aggies. Only two are Texas? How are you guys able to dominate the state the way you have this year? Well, I guess we evaluated the guys we have one after them and I think built the relationships with the players, the coaches, and the families. And we have a great place to sell. |
| 2:01.2 | And I think we have a great product here, sell to A&M. |
| 2:03.2 | Like I said, it's one of the reasons I came here. I don't think any school in America can touch you personally, academically, and then launching your career when you're done with that Aggie network as well as in A&M. And I think you have a lot to sell. I think we have the SEC to sell that we're doing, |
| 1:59.0 | but also I think our coaches did a tremendous job |
