November 12, 20232 yr Surely you don’t fire him now unless you have a splash hire, but how do you make all that payroll? Can you make the seats even narrower? Find a made up story about the 13th man? Make enrollment compulsory for all students with below a 3.0 average?
November 12, 20232 yr 3 minutes ago, Bill Lumbergh said: 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. Correct. This is the answer. My aggy friends have been saying this for weeks. They are scared of us.
November 12, 20232 yr 9 minutes ago, mdmost said: Well I guess aggy can always add the "We Paid The Highest Buyout Ever" trophy to their case. They can use it to entice the next coach.
November 12, 20232 yr It's breathtaking in how wasteful the Jimbo era has been. They've wasted a hundred million dollars. And of course, no one will lose their jobs for this error because their masters wanted Jimbo and money didn't matter. And now they want Jimbo gone and the money still doesn't matter. Don’t forget the $450M stadium RENOVATION!

November 12, 20232 yr If he really gets $76,000,000 to leave there have to be some people in administration who lose their jobs as well. People who sign off on these contracts have to have some ownership of them as well. Did anyone take ownership of killing 12 students? No one will take ownership of this either. Bingo. The malfeasance is infuriating as a taxpayer and someone who wants Texas to have an educated populace with valuable college degrees.That fucking university needs to grow the fuck up.
November 12, 20232 yr 1 hour ago, MonkeyDoughnut said: Paying 3.5x to get rid of guy killing their program. Next hire about less "flash" more substance. There's merit to this. Nietzsche wrote that mistakes always occur in a pair. First you do too much then you do to little. Traylor's a pretty good gamble. Has East Texas connections and will allow the spotlight to move from A&M to somewhere else. I'm thinking getting the story of their obscenely stupid deal with Jimbo out of the news is one of the prime motivating factors. Still, it's an astonishingly huge amount of money to have risked and lost. Even for A&M, it's stupid at an astounding level.
November 12, 20232 yr Popular Post Any ACC head coach is fair game since they can't afford to keep up the arms race. aggy would be wise to take a swing at Dabo. He's about as aggy as you can find in a head coach.

November 12, 20232 yr This a really expensive excuse for when they lose to us at their place next year.

November 12, 20232 yr Another gem from John "Not Very" Sharp...(of course he left out the fact that SEC didn't allow alcohol sales at the time) I'd love to ask him for an update on this situation The Texas athletic department announced Wednesday that Longhorn fans will be able to buy a cold beer or a glass of wine at concession stands at Royal-Memorial Stadium this fall. A reporter from the site Texags.com asked Sharp whether the Aggies have similar plans. Sharp told reporter Gabe Bock: “Our athletic program has not reached the point where we require the numbing effects of alcohol.” Edited November 12, 20232 yr by Dennis Taylor

November 12, 20232 yr Popular Post 5 minutes ago, TreatyOak said: I think this is terrible news. I have developed quite a fondness for Jimbo. His press conferences following a loss are easily my favorite thing about college football. I'm with you man. I never listen to any coach's post game press conferences, not even Texas coaches. But Jimbo's just hit different. That boomhauer-esque summary of every drive in the game reliably followed up by 15 minutes of shoving his kids under the bus for failure to execute.....it never got stale. I thought I still had time, and now its dawning on me I'll never hear another one again as long as I live. And thats f'n sad, man. I think I'm gonna go light some candles and soak in the tub with a bottle of whiskey, listening to this on repeat. I know it will get better, and that the sun will come up again, but now is not that time. Now is the time for grieving.

November 12, 20232 yr Plus the fact that aggy has a built in excuse for their loss to the Horns next year. 1st year HC, so we’ll beat them next year. It’s always next year.Hook’em!!!
November 12, 20232 yr Half of these names would require them to set a new level of ridiculous coach contracts. That would be very on brand.

November 12, 20232 yr 38 minutes ago, Wulaw Horn said: I told you people that the buyout wasn’t that big a deal. 40 or 50M up front for all of the buyouts and then the 8M a year is a rounding error in a 250M budget or wherever we get to with the Death Star sec money. It's the same as buying that sweet '24 Acadia. 20% down and $499 a month for 8 years. Who in their right mind would turn that down?

November 12, 20232 yr I just want to record my laughter here. Pointing and laughing at aggy all Sunday is going to be fucking awesome Gott damn this is fun!
November 12, 20232 yr I presume the buyout is coming from booster coffers and not public money. Am I wrong?

I want Jimbo to stay Hey, I was an assistant track coach at Giddings High School (1967-69) and intramural sponsor at Webb Jr. High (1970-73). Plus emcee’d the student talent show two years running at the latter. I’ll take the job at half the contract Jimbo had, as long as aggy will supply a swagcopter for my daily commute from Round Rock.

November 12, 20232 yr Oregon has been a stepping stone recently and maybe Lanning wants back into the SEC. DeBoer would be wise to cash in on the success of the best QB he’ll ever coach in college.
