The 2012 Texas A&M football team was led by the former head coach of which team from 2007 to 2011?
2012 Texas A&amp;M Aggies football team The 2012 Texas A&M Aggies football team represented Texas A&M University in the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Aggies were led by first-year head coach Kevin Sumlin in their first year as a member of the Southeastern Conference, playing in the SEC's Western Division. They played their home games at Kyle Field. Because the Aggies scheduled 2 FCS opponents they needed 7 wins in the regular season to become eligible for postseason competition (if they beat both FCS teams); Texas A&M won 10 games in the regular season (including both games against FCS opponents) and thus became bowl-eligible.
2007 Dallas Cowboys season The 2007 Dallas Cowboys season was the 48th season for the team in the National Football League. This marked the first season for Wade Phillips as head coach. Jason Garrett also joined the team this season as offensive coordinator. The Cowboys finished the regular season tied for the best record in the NFC (13–3), and earned a first round bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs. However, they lost their first playoff game to the eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants, a team that they had defeated in their two regular-season matchups. With the loss, it extended the Cowboys drought of playoff wins to eleven years and tied the NFL record of 6 straight playoff games lost. 13 players were named to the Pro Bowl, an NFL record.
