  1. If Elko was clearly who they wanted, the search could've ended in around 48 hrs. From the moment Jimbo was canned, it was obvious he would be the most obvious replacement candidate. Either a) they had other candidates above him who they waited to reject them before settling, b) they wanted him but not at this price, and waited for other candidates to reject them before caving, or my favorite choice c) a healthy mix of both.
  2. I think this was the best, and most obvious, hire they could make from the start. That said, he's massively unproven as a HC at this level. Objectively, Charlie Strong had a better resume as both a DC and HC when he was hired at Texas. Herman as an OC/HC, as well. Let that sink in when aggy says we should be scared about the hire.
  3. Given his experience, the fact that he's already on staff, and their situation with the search following the Stoops debacle, this probably makes the most sense for them while they fire Bjork and bring in a new AD who can run a proper search next time if needed. However, they've now floated Robinson to FTHC so much and gotten recruits and players excited about it, so I don't think Petrino is a realistic option if they choose to promote from within.
  4. 50 cent has really let himself go these days. You can find me in the club Bottle full of bub Aggy I got what you need When you can't hire Bob Stoops bub
  5. Ross Bjork calling the Arizona AD: we hear you might be facing some financial difficulties. Perhaps you've heard about our recent contract negotiation with Jimbo Fisher and how that ended up for him. Want to chat?
  6. This was always the most obvious outcome. Even if they kicked the tires on other folks, I'm betting they didn't move from Jimbo without confidence Elko would take the job. It makes sense that it should help retain players on the defense. I'm not sure how much "most of the staff won't be going anywhere" helps retain offensive talent.
  7. Some of it went into hands as well, if I remember correctly.
  8. I believe that was the official tagline of the final version of shaggybevo before it went offline.
  9. It's about the Texas game. Period. Every decision they make revolves around us. Don't think it's a coincidence they're doing this the year before we join.
  10. They're putting it on the wall as we speak.
  11. I don't really do the twitters, but I really hope everyone who does is resurfacing the "Jimbo's extension will seem like a bargain for a&m" tweet this morning.
  12. I hear your point, but you should go back and revisit Jimbo's contract through the lens of things rational people don't do. aggy not only does them, they take pride in them like they've figured out some super secret path to guaranteed success that no one else thought of. It would be shocking if they did all of this to hire Traylor, but the fact that it would be so shocking almost makes it more likely.
  13. "Doesn't matter, got 117 million dollars"
  14. My guess is that they're paying it now because it's not getting any better by waiting. I think I read that in 3 years it will STILL be the highest buyout ever paid. It's not like if they wait a year or two it's getting better. They just fucked themselves on that contract.
  15. Elko is the easy money here, if he wants the gig.
  16. It's easy to laugh at OU right now, but remember this - however bad it looks right now, it's likely coming for us even worse. It will not surprise me if this league does whatever is necessary to prevent us from winning it on the way out. Anything. It might be Iowa State on the road. They might let us get to the actual championship to draw more eyeballs and have one of the remaining teams make a "statement" against a departing team. But it's coming. I think we have the first team in over a decade that probably SHOULD win the conference...and I'm 100% thoroughly convinced the league will not allow it to happen. So laugh at OU now, but know that these missed calls may be an every down kind of thing in one of our upcoming games. We're better than every remaining team on the schedule, but if they can tackle receivers every play along with the blatant holding that's already allowed, it won't matter much.
  17. I don't think Murphy played a great game, but a reasonable one when accounting for the situation. However anyone blaming him for the fumble is being silly. The play is slow developing and designed for him to turn his back to that side and make a throw. I love Brooks, but he whiffed the block on a play where whiffing the block gets your QB blown up almost by design. Would a more experienced QB have secured the ball more quickly? Maybe. But I'm not blaming MM for trusting the defender would be at least slowed enough for him to execute the play.
  18. They can't really be this dumb, can they? I know aggy are not smart, but none of them actually believe Jimbo will walk away from +$70M because he "respects the university"...right???
  19. I can think of one other week we passed USC in the standings...
  20. Some of you guys are really letting yourselves get pulled in by wins over bad Arkansas and Auburn teams. If you've actually watched any of those games, you will know that aggy has some talented players but they are a bad, bad team. Can Bama fuck around and let aggy win? Sure. If Bama plays like they did against Ole Miss, no way in hell is aggy winning, much less "punishing" Bama. Come on.
