What do you get for 100 million dollars?.........

The first three game losing streak since 2011.

I would ask for my money back. Even Walmart would give you a refund.

A&M offense rivals Gitmo and the Poot Gump offense. It's butt ugly.

On the SECN last night, Takeo Spikes said "...we can criticize Jimbo for not having motion in his offense, but it comes down to the QB play...".  Or something like that.  He's hard to understand sometimes. 

But anyway...it it true that Jimbo does not use motion?  If so, he is a fizzleing moron and it can help explain why his offense suxes.  Wow.

I'm just hoping they're stuck with him for another couple of years.

I thought you were talking about the Yankees there for a sec....

But I guess they wasted even more dough than A&M

I don't see any choice for them.  Or at least well into next season.

The only way he is gone this year is if he drops 4 of the 5 remaining games.  IMO.  And maybe not even then.  I know the donors there have deep pockets, but....$100 million is $100 million, even among wealthy buddies!

I’ve had a range of thoughts on this situation.

First off, they can obviously choose to keep him and require changes, but how can you really demand change when you are over the barrel? What if he looks at them and says, “I believe in what we are doing and I’m not changing”? What are they going to do, fire him?

Maybe they think this is just a terrible year and that it will reverse itself - in which case they stick with him.

Are donors going to continue to throw ridiculous money at NIL if they have a coach that they don’t really think can get them to where they want to be?

Sticking with him for 3 or 4 more years to reduce the buyout only prolongs the problem, if they think that he will not get the program to the top tier. Sure, the buyout will be less but you’ve wasted those millions anyway on 3 to 4 years of underachieving results.

It’s not my money, so it’s easier for me to say that maybe they’ll pony up sooner rather than waiting another 3 to 4 years. I don’t have to contribute financially so maybe I’m just not in touch with how this would work for them.

How I see the discussion:

aTm: Hey Jimbo, you ain't working out, we need to make a change
But here's the deal, we were idiots signing this ludicrous deal and we would like to negotiate a lower buyout

Jimbo: You got that right, I'm dealing with idiots, here's my account number to transfer the funds to ...
Know any good mansions available in the Caribbean??
This cigar I received from a Tennessee fan sure is good!
 
aTm: faceplant

Yep. 😂🤣😂

Rock, meet the proverbial hard place.

Part of the reason I say he has another year is that I think the powers that be (a) want to see what that $35 million no. 1 class can do in a second year, and (b) see if they can bring in another no. 1 class.  Then if Jimbo is not the answer, pony up and move on.

That's just my $0.02, trying to put myself in the seat of a Tamu fan/booster.

In the meantime, Weiggman (sp?) is a five star QB who has only seen the field in an injury situation. 

Given how atrocious their offense has been, I don't see how he hasn't already made a change. 

Furthermore, a quick google reveals that most Tamu fans think Fisher's offense is very stale, and that he needs to make a change, but he won't. Insists that "the plays are there, we just need to execute".

Reminds me of two things.  Butch Jones (greatly misplaced) confidence in his scheme, and the predictablity of the Fulmer scheme in the last ~ 8 years of his time at UT.  I don't know how many Tennessee fans told me they could predict the play calls near the end there.

Arrogance will get you every time. 

I just enjoy seeing this at another school for a change.

Five of the top recruits from their top ranked recruiting class have been suspended. The wheels could be falling off already?

It sure looks that way

Jimbo should sign half his salary over to Jameis Winston. His entire reputation as an “elite” coach, and thus his entire ridiculous contract at A&M is based on two seasons with Winston under center. Outside of that, Jimbo’s been mediocre to bad his entire career. One of the most overrated coaches I’ve seen in my life.

Yes but in the true spirit of Shaudenfreude, its not us, so just sit back and enjoy it. 



Having said that, I don't have any particular animus for Tamu, other than having been there, they have way too many annoying traditions, but that's a nit.

A talking head had a point that is probably true....he claims Sexton leveraged the threat of Jimbo going to LSU. Which makes sense, though it's not a good thing at all.
