Jimbo out?

[utexfan5]

Reading reports that Fisher will be fired today.

Even after a convincing win, regents are said to be fed up.

From MSN:

After the win over Mississippi State on Saturday night, Fisher left, as he often does, for his ranch in a hurried move that raised questions with multiple staff members. On Sunday morning, the program had multiple breakfast meetings scheduled with recruits and their families.

A team meeting is expected to be scheduled for later Sunday to inform players and staff of the decision.

 

[weevilcatch]

Lol.

Time to pass the plate ags

 

[JonBinge]

Noooooooo!!!!!!

What successful coach having a successful season with his current team would answer aggys call, publicly, right now? It may be a couple of weeks or after a bowl game before its known who's jumping in to that dumpster fire. My guess is may be Traylor or a former aggy (Dat?)

 

[Hoookem722]

This is good for our recruiting class this year. There’s a few guys we could pluck from that class. Also maybe Evan Stewart will hit the portal and we can pick him up.

 

[Pumpedup55]

Was hoping he’d be around longer. So much for that dateless national champion plaque they gave him years ago.

 

[KChorn11]

Looks like they made the move. Don’t discount the role Texas success this year had on this move. With Texas being 9-1 and coming to the SEC next year A&M couldn’t fall further behind. If Texas was 8-4… maybe they don’t spend the money to buy him out.

I wonder if he gets to keep it? They probably need to get it back and change the name on it for the next guy. Frugality may become important after this buyout.

 

[KChorn11]

So who do they get? Elko probably makes the most football sense, but probably not the sexy enough for them

 

[clob94]

We are about to raid the sh!t out of their talent.

Sark has made a point the last couple years to say they never burn bridges in recruiting because you never know…. Might see that pay dividends again

CFB coaching moves are getting English Premier League stupid.

117 million in total income for him. That means-

Nothing but private flights forever
5000 acre ranch
Mountain home in the Alps
Private island in the Caribbean
It's basically F-U money

 

[Hoookem722]

75 million is a hell of a retirement package. He’s probably happier than hell right now despite getting fired lol

 

[hillcountryhorn63697005]

Jimbo is relaxing in a cozy deer blind w his aggy boots propped up, sipping some whiskey w a cigar, right now, enjoying life for the first time in a while.

 

[2300 Nueces]

I blame the Merry Minstrels.

 

[outhereincali]

What's going on? They have a chance to finish 8/4. Dissension in the locker room?
Are we going to find out that he's been stealing signals to?

They don’t want to give him a chance to win enough enough games and save his job. Basically kicking the can down the road. They know Texas is coming next year and don’t want another terrible offense under Jimbo. They are also scared that Weigman would transfer out if Jimbo stays.

Yep. I think Sark got Jimbo fired, and made aggy spend 100 mill. If Texas was 8-4, 7-5 Jimbo probably stays. With Texas sitting at 9-1, and getting a lot of momentum in recruiting. I think it forced a move.

I think if I were a coach at a major program I would have one of my analysts do nothing but scout kids from smaller schools and schools whose coaches might be in trouble. For the portal. It’s just such a huge part of roster building now.

That’s exactly why they were able to get Jimbo though. Jimbo knew that good or bad this was probably his last job, so either way he takes one last huge payday

That’s why they won’t get like a Dan Lanning, lane Kiffin, etc guys that still have a career left.

Sam Pittman out at Arkansas.

Jimbo to Arky!

Would jimbo have to give up the 75 million bucks if he gets another job?

 

[Texasguy115]

Would jimbo have to give up the 75 million bucks if he gets another job?

No, its fully guaranteed, even if he gets another job. That is the ridiculousness of the Aggie contract, there was zero downside for Jimbo!

 

[KChorn11]

Would jimbo have to give up the 75 million bucks if he gets another job?

Nope. That’s what makes the contract even more ridiculous. There is no offset. So Jimbo could get another job and A&M has to pay him every penny and he gets whatever the salary is for his new job on top of that.

Looks like jimbo won the battle and is gonna make the poor aggys do all kind of hand signals and crotch grabbing😄

Well, now that he's not a poor aggy, congrats jimbo.

 

[KChorn11]

So far the open jobs for next year.

Michigan state
A&M
Arkansas
Boise state.

Be interesting to see who is next. Baylor, West VA have been rumored

 

[outhereincali]

So now we get to the fun part speculating🤔.

 

[JonBinge]

Can’t wait to see what those dorks in overalls say when they practice yelling this week.

Who are top candidates? Top schools are about to have meetings to pony up some cash for their coach, lest he be poached:
Dan Lanning UO
Kalen Deboer UW
Mike Elko Duke
Kentucky Stoops
Lance Leipold
Mike Norvell
