All after paying Jimbo $76mm to go away (plus more for assistants). No university should be spending that much on a sport. There are dozens, if not hundreds of high school football coaches in Texas who could coach aggy to the same record as Jimbo has been doing, and they'd do it for under a million a year.

November 12, 20232 yr I have the perfect candidate with a coaching tree that would make a huge splash, ready to go , and would probably roll with A&Ms flawed character approach to football Known for doing more with less Spoiler

November 12, 20232 yr 4 hours ago, TonyTexas said: That will not go over well in many circles. Legislators, faculty, anyone paying tuition aggy has 75,000 students, including grad students. That's only $1,000 per student for the buyout.
November 12, 20232 yr Didn’t aggy just extend some assistant’s contracts last week or were they just announced last week?
November 12, 20232 yr Now do all Aggies have to go to Yell Practice like they do after “running out of time?”

November 12, 20232 yr That's really weird. Why make the move if you can't afford even second tier hires? That can't be right.

November 12, 20232 yr Evidently there's buzz about Lanning. No clue if true, but Oregon folks seem edgy.

November 12, 20232 yr Spoiler and it was a disaster. It was a disaster because of that money. Unintentionally, that contract became the face of Aggies football. All of that A&M oil money can buy almost everything in the world, except guarantee a winning football program. Rather than celebrate another great season under Jimbo, the Aggies now return to contacting search firms to find top candidates. Expect Duke coach Mike Elko to be at the top of this list. A&M will shower the new coach with money, and introduce him at a press conference where he will be cheered with the promise of “next year.” To complete this coaching staff transition, it will cost somewhere in the area north of $100 million. It will all be funny, but there is something seriously wrong about this. Get TX Politics in your inbox.

He's bracing the fanbase for an underwhelming hire. Interesting. Gundy is the lowest-paid on that list at $7.6mm. For comparison, Norvell is at $7.3mm, Lanning at $6.6mm plus a $20mm buyout, and both undoubtedly in line for raises from their current schools given how this year has gone. Daboer is below $5mm, but again, UW will up that a bunch so the number to beat is certainly much higher.
November 12, 20232 yr Well Jimbo was able to wrestle a single vote in the newest AP poll in his final week. Good for him. Best 6-4 team in the land. Edited November 12, 20232 yr by Constant

November 12, 20232 yr Bruce Feldman & Stewart Mandel brought up on their podcast that Jonathan Smith is from Pasadena, CA so he would likely go to UCLA over aggy if Chip gets fired.

Once again, Lanning is most likely headed to the CFP and has Nike money. Why would you take a flagship institution to the CFP to go to a second tier job? Something doesn’t seem right here… (and yes, I know this guy is not plugged in in any way)

November 12, 20232 yr LOL Dan Lanning is not leaving Oregon for ATM, unless he is the biggest moron on earth. He's seen all of the same cult-like nonsense that we all have...Klan bonfire, Embarrassing Midnight yell (LMAO), and 20xx National Championship Trophy for Cuckbo. If I'm betting on this, it's either Elko or Traylor. Edited November 12, 20232 yr by PNWhornsfan Grammar
November 12, 20232 yr Yeah, if Lanning wants money AND a trophy (actual), Oregon is much better spot going into the Big10 than trying to compete in SEC with aggy handcuffs. I don't see it happening. My money still on Elko as only realistic candidate that makes sense.... I could see him saying no though because of family and comfort at Duke.
