Interesting I hadn’t read that. Still can’t really blame schiano. Paternio, the AD, and university president knew and didn’t do anything. What would you have him do if his hire ups aren’t willing to act?
So how far down the list do the Aggies have to go to get a coach ?

I wonder who Florida State might get if Jimbo does leave? Try to beat Nebraska to Scott Frost? Take a chance on a Lane Kiffin or Charlie Strong?
Chad Morris "wants" Ole Miss job?

Why? The NCAA is probably gonna bring the hammer down. If he’s smart he will hang out at SMU another year.
Unless he can get a Matt Rhule 7 year contract to get past the short term, I agree. On the other hand --- SMU is a tough place to build a career - they get no support. I have a feeling he knew this was his big year at SMU, and wants to cash in before they slip down next year and his star is tarnished.
If the reports are true and Fisher goes to aggy, I'm scratching my head over that one. Why? Why take a step down from FSU to go to aggy? Must be just a money thing.
That's what I've heard. He must just want out bad enough and stooped to aggy. The $7.5mil per year doesn't hurt.
Well....maybe not 1 dj...if true....

Better facilities. FSU's facilities are average and A&M will give him more money to pay assistants. Plus, for personal reasons he seems to want a fresh start and he has a child with some sort of disease that it will be good to be near the Medical Center.

I saw that, but I've never heard of the USA Herald before.
If Jimbo becoming an aggy leads Tim Brewster back to Austin, I am all for this.
I don't like Jimbo and Brewster recruiting for aggy. I was one that didn't think they could get a name like that. Not necessarily because they are aggy, but more so that successful coaches don't make moves like that. If they are to pull it off, I'll eat crow. That's an impressive get all things considered.
The final tally is what will be interesting. 10.4 million due to Sumlin in 60 days, plus buyouts for staff. 40 million buyout for Jimbo, plus 7.5 million per for 5-6 years guaranteed money. The money that may get dished out will be incredible!
I agree, it's almost as if he has to make multiple playoffs to get value on his soon to be contract, but as a fan I don't really care about value. Also I've read the 40 million Jimbo buyout is what's owed to him if he's fired by FSU, not what he owes FSU to walk. That number is only around 7 million. Have no idea what the facts are, but no school is paying 40 million to just get a coach out of a contract, so I assume that buyout # is being misinterpreted.
