Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher tried to troll TCU for getting blown out by Georgia, apparently forgetting the Aggies didn't even make a bowl.

The TCU Horned Frogs were the kings of Texas in the 2022 college football season, coming just one game away from being kings of the sport, too. Of course, that one game was a 58-point loss to Georgia with the national championship on the line, but that's just semantics. What can definitively be said is that Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies were nowhere close.

Despite tremendous expectations, Fisher's team went just 5-7 on the season, failing to make a bowl game, while also finishing just 2-6 in the SEC.

That didn't stop him from taking a dig at the Horned Frogs, though.

On Wednesday night while speaking at the Fort Worth A&M Club, Fisher had some fun at the expense of TCU as he said, per Carter Karels of GigEm247, "They stayed healthy, they had a lot of experience and they got to where they had to get to. And then when they got to the SEC, it changed, didn't it?"

Jimbo Fisher, king of lacking self-awareness, touts SEC to troll TCU

Let he who did not lose to Appalachian State in College Station cast the first stone… or something like that.

For what it's worth Karels did clarify that Fisher did seem to be joking about the matter. But even then, it's just a bit tone-deaf for a head coach who had the majority of fans wondering if they could pool together enough money to pay his buyout after the way this past season went taking jabs at an in-state, out-of-conference program that won seven more games than the Aggies.

To be clear, Fisher is not entirely wrong. TCU weathered the Big 12 with a number of close games but, the first time they saw an SEC opponent, Georgia was putting an NBA point total on them. At the same time, though, who's to say that Texas A&M would've seen a different result based on how their season played out?

If nothing else, though, Jimbo Fisher will always keep talking. And when he's spouting off comments like this, we have to be thankful for at least that. Of course, the fans in College Station are hoping that his words are accompanied by wins sooner rather than later.
