November 12, 20232 yr I'm sure they'll make a run at Daboer and Lanning first. Daboer's current salary is <$5mm and Lanning is $6.6. Nothing crazy. But both will have big raises offered by their current school for sure. Just this past offseason, UW just made their OC one of the highest paid OCs in the country to keep him from going to A&M. Can't imagine they'll just sit back and let Daboer get bought away especially with that Big 10 money coming next year. Daboer is also a lifelong NW/Midwest guy. From a personal standpoint, no way he'd prefer A&M and it'd be a big career gamble too. Lanning doesn't really have Texas ties but may want back in the SEC. Cristobal just got poached from Oregon so it's possible (although he went home to Miami so that was more personal). Oregon isn't an easy place to recruit to either. I still think low odds he'd leave but more possible than Daboer.

November 12, 20232 yr Jimbo's firing just made Elijah Robinson to USC bringing a bunch of talent with him a whole lot easier.
November 12, 20232 yr Getting caught up here, but I’d suggest that there’s a MNC head coach in the ACC that has tons of experience recruiting in Texas. He’d be out there killing himself for the program.

November 12, 20232 yr Popular Post 24 minutes ago, DaysOff said: Can't UTIMCO just say no? I guess it's "their" money, but aren't there limitations on how PUF/AUF monies are spent? There are incredibly precise limitations on how AUF money is spent. In the end it still comes from UTIMCO's portfolio via the PUF. Overall, A&M's athletics dept. is largely independent from the Campus' AUF expenditures, but there's simply no way A&M-College Station or its separate account for Aggie Athletics Dept. has this kind of money ready to cut. Again, contract attorneys above have detailed knowledge about how this actually gets paid out. I presume in mid-November, there'd at least be some elementary consideration given by Jimbo to taking part of it now and part of it in 2024. Even annuity-basis, the money still has to come out and be earmarked. This is accounting shitshow and UTIMCO ultimately has to figure out where to draw it from. They obviously keep hundreds of millions in cash equivalents but it's for rotational purposes as investments are liquidated/deployed...it's not for a fucking one-off check the week of Thanksgiving. Obviously this won't cripple an endowment the size of UTIMCO but for the next few quarters, this is a serious fucking problem for A&M's AUF account. No current student or staffer will feel anything, but down the road---somebody's gonna feel a squeeze and not just the Corps. @PilotsError negged me though for bringing this up. He must hold stock in A&M or something. As much as I love to make fun of Aggies, the financial logistics behind this are not only an issue, but they set a fucked up precedent for stupid people playing with fire/firing. You wanna do a private donor raise to buy out a shitty coach? Fine. I'd rather you donate it to academics, but it's your money-your call. But this kinda cash has to come out of somewhere else, even if it's off-set by a decade of pledges by donors, in the here and now. Plus, even if A&M tries to pretend that it'll all be paid back eventually by donors & sponsors & TV money, a few years from now when they are fatigued by their next hire...plenty of Aggies (at least the half-smart ones) will just re-neg on their capital calls and keep their money and say, "Meh, UTIMCO has more money than me...call them this time." A&M purports to lead on and off the field, and as per usual, they're leading an awful lotta Texans into a seriously stupid financial cave. What else should we expect from these morons? No worries, this time tomorrow, they'll put some shiny bullshit spin on it that is meant to assure Aggie Nation & the State of Texas that no public funds will be used. And that in fact, the people of Texas will actually be making money on this buyout. And a large portion will believe them because expensive stupidity is practically free.

T. Austin, Texas A&M University and Prairie View A&M University and b) the administration of the university System Wait until jimbo gets his first $8m payment then file the FOIA request for the bank account(s) used to pay Jimbo, as well as a forensic, complete accounting of the GL for every account and transaction, specifically deposits, in to those said account(s) aggy will easily fuck this up and the requirement for subterfuge pertinacity and forecast in this endeavor is only available to aggy in a galaxy far, far away
