247 update had Filsaime flip potential as cold. He’s never visited us and it looked like there’s scant opportunity to do so now. No visit usually doesn’t portend well
They’re afraid that the roster and recruiting class will fall apart without Jimbo. Plus it seems like all the money is not united in firing him without an obvious name they can all get excited about. Keeping Jimbo gives them the best roster next year, in their opinion, and if he loses to Texas it galvanizes the money to finally fire him. Each loss is messing up the plan because it’s making some of the money impatient
You really think Ewers declares with two incomplete seasons under his belt? You may be right, but seems like he'd be leaving money on the table doing it this season with Caleb Williams, Penix, Nix and other better QB's coming out. I mean when's the last time he finished a complete season, soph year of HS?
Ewers skipped his senior year of high school and still arrived late at Ohio State 2 weeks into their fall camp which gave him little chance to actually compete for the starting job. He absolutely profiles as a guy who would want to get to his first NFL check as soon as possible in order to start the clock running to his second and figure out playing time later
Have we seen a coach who thrived in the bags era transition well to NIL yet? Also if I recall correctly UM had big get the band back together vibes when his potential coaching staff was discussed here. Maybe he could do it but I’d love to see ags go even dumber to buyout Jimbo and pay another coach stupid money who may be equally as unprepared to navigate the NIL era as Jimbo has been
adding that UM’s NFL debacle might indicate that he’s not the best at changing his approach
Well he did say maybe MAYBE it’s time to look at OL play and ask is that the reason you can’t finish the season with a healthy QB
i couldn’t keep a straight face listening to that comedic gold
Aggy hasn’t demonstrated that having enough money is their problem. They don’t seem to be smart about how they spend it and I imagine the bigger infighting right now is if you fire Jimbo who do you bring in to replace him. There doesn’t seem to be an exciting choice out there currently
The math has been done a few times here but they don’t have to have the full amount immediately. They probably can afford it. I would guess they’re calculating the hit on NIL vs the cost of keeping Jimbo
Is there a story as to why Kiffin enjoys trolling Jimbo or is it just generally fun for him? I don’t pay close enough attention to know if he has other regular targets
I watched the weekly video they put out for their Alabama game and it had video of players handing out pizzas to students in the ticket line. One of the players casually drops that all his classes are online so he hasn’t been to campus in a while and he thought it was neat to see the passion from the other students who he is rarely around.
This has to be a big selling point for them. Is this not common at other schools? Come here and most if not all your classes will be online. It also shields the players from the weirdo campus.
There are plenty of 18 year olds who are perfectly happy with Cane’s, Target, and a movie theater. Unfortunately, College Station is not as unpalatable at 18 as it is to someone with more life experience
