I think it's because they are going after Traylor and he's getting calls from a couple other programs and they don't want to miss the window.

I don’t see them going after traylor. How can they fire jimbo then go after a low level school coach? Not saying it’s not a good idea but I feel like they would want to get someone else.

I know we have some empty boxes around here somewhere. Do ya' think he'll need 'em to pack his stuff?  Who has the address at Kyle Field?

#59806

I'm really shocked by this. Now aggy must overpay again to get a reputable coach.

BREAKING: Per multiple sources, Texas A&M set to part ways with Jimbo Fisher as early as today. Decision was reached at the recommendation of the Athletic Dept/University president during last Thursday's Board of Regents meeting.
The Jimbo Fisher Era at Texas A&M is over- 0 National Titles- 0 Conference Titles- 0 Division Titles- 0 10-win Seasons- 0 wins vs ranked opponents on the road- 0 ranked finishes in last 4 full seasons- Worse record than Kevin Sumlin- $117,450,000 guaranteed

I'm shocked.  That is so much money to light on fire.  Plus I think Jimbo had something figured out with that Fresno St QB.

#59809

Why would any coach want to go to CS to deal with that?  Those clowns think every coach wants that job.  I heard a few mention Dan Lanning.  Why would that guy leave Oregon and Nike money!?!?  
 

I want Jimbo to stay

You don't pay 3.5xs the highest buyout ever to hire UTSA's coach

Paying 3.5x to get rid of guy killing their program. Next hire about less "flash" more substance.

#59812

Where are they getting the money?? Doesn’t the aggy athletic department still owe the University for a massive loan? How is the University ok with approving this other than they are aggy??

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.

I bet they are considering the match-up with Texas next year and should they lose with Jimbo in his 7th year, that would just look awful... but if they win/lose in a 'rebuilding' year with a new coach??? 

This is Aggy, you know we're part of their decision making...

Hard to call the angry dwarf a loser when he gets to leave Collie Station with a cool $76MM buy-out.

He'll have the nicest place on the Emerald Coast

I don't think they can pass the hat around for that buyout while selling Traylor. It's gotta be Elko or "the next Kirby or Lanning" in Schumann. Or something flashier.

I think over-paying for Elko or having to go the cheaper route with Schumann are the leaders in the clubhouse

Elko and Lane had been the names earlier in the season. Urban is the ultimate Aggy move imo

#59822

After hearing about Arizona’s 250 million budget shortfall, aggy thinks Jimbo’s buyout is cheap.

Jimbo is walking out of this with over $110mm. That's why. 

#59825

Bring in Gary Kubiak to “steady the ship” so to speak, then groom Klint as HCIW. That would track with what CTJ said earlier in the week about the talk of wanting to bring in a true aggie. Probably would be one of the cheaper options

I can definitely see Joey Freshwater taking the aggy gig. This will be entertaining.

Dude that contract was a BARGAIN.

#59829

Would any replacement arrive before the end of their season?  Or are they going to have an interim for the next couple weeks.

#59831

Negotiated departure.  His contract doesn’t have offset for future earnings.  Maybe he’s not happy there and told ags he would let them offset earnings from future job like West Virginia or some type of negotiated out.  Say he gets $4 million for 5 years from WVU. And lets ags offset that against the $75 million.  I could see some sort of negotiated out if he’s miserable there or realizes it’s just not happening.

I can't think of a worse hire for aggy than Kubiak. Make it so

#59834

They better have a plan because their recruiting class and roster is about to get picked over.

There’s no reason at all for Fisher to negotiate against himself like this. He can still take the WVU job and make every bit of the $75M. It seems like the aggy BOR is much more miserable than he is.

#59836

This is TERRIBLE fantastic news. I'm so conflicted.

You hate to see it. 

But you love to see it.

Urban Meyer step on down...have to outbid Michigan State, but aggy can do that

#59841

Think I saw where Traylor has a $7M buyout. 

No idea what Kiffin's is, but he's making close to $9M now, so they'd have to offer more than that.  Plus, the lower expectations and campus life in Oxford makes that an easier gig.

#59842

Elko would make sense. He knows their top class so maybe a lot would stay. But that won’t happen till the last game of the season.

The aggy chest-thumping will be insufferable if this actually happens. Urban chose aggy over UT !!!

WHOOP!

Jimbo Fisher is due about $75 million in buyout.That eclipses the *cumulative* buyout that 15 schools paid to fire their coach last year ($72 million).https://t.co/0P5kXpcixU

Maybe this is wishcasting/ a shot across the bow? Why are the articles getting taken down?

Best case scenario is that Billy fucked this up.  Jimbo stays and continues to suck and everyone gets to point and laugh at Liucci for eternity, while he fucks his relationship w/ the school w/ that one tweet.
