    Pubes and Bjork must talk because Looch after the Ole Miss loss stated the reasons that would cause aggy to get rid of Jimbo. The reasons Looch outlined were almost word for word as what Bjork stated in his presser.

    See above post. They are nothing but paid shills for Sharp.

    There's also the weird way he "takes responsibility" for things but it's apparent he did nothing about any of them until he decided to fire Jimbo. For example, he admitted he's finally going to learn -- this coming week -- all about college football coach contracts and what he did wrong in 2021.

    The a&m AD position is nothing but the mouthpiece and boot shiner for Sharp. Exactly the same as loochi's position.

  3. The notion that the price of a barrel of oil has any affect on a coaches buyout is completely absurd to me.

    Sure, the average oil field worker will go buy a new jacked up F250 when the oil is flowing, but the guy that runs the company that has built his business over time doesn’t blow tens of millions on a losing football coach just because oil prices spikes for a bit.

    Didn't vote for him, didn't say his first term was "positive" as another poster stated.  Just saying he was rather benign, or as harmless as an Austin mayor in a 10-1 system can be, during his first term.  Not meant as a compliment.  His second term was unbridled crime and he will live to pay for it.  

    That is exactly my point. If candidates are going to get re-elected simply because they are "harmless" or "benign", then the cycle of shitty candidates and incumbents will never end. Austin continues to do this over and over and over and over and can't figure out why nothing ever changes.

    To be fair to our fair city...Alder's second term was a 180* batshit insane grifting pivot from his first term.  Like some other prominent Austin-based elected officials we can't talk about on DT forums.  But the, "Oh this guy isn't so weird.  Let's just wait it out.  (flash forward 2-3 years)...Oh what in the fucking fuck?!?!?!?!?" 

    What exactly did he do in his first term that you considered positive?

    Sure, the second term was 100% grift, but nothing came from the first term that warranted re-election.

    Without Johnson they'll beat Abilene Christian 13 - 5. Boom. Bowl eligibility. I don't see the problem with Jimbo. This is going well and I need aggies to start seeing this from my perspective.

    I don't think a win vs. ACU counts toward bowl eligibility, does it?

    If they lose to MSU and it comes down to the LSU game for eligibility, would Jimbo throw the game so he could take a longer winter vacation? It's not like it would be difficult to disguise throwing the game with his previous evidence of playcalling/in-game decisions.

    The math has been done a few times here but they don’t have to have the full amount immediately. They probably can afford it. I would guess they’re calculating the hit on NIL vs the cost of keeping Jimbo 

    I just saw the other day that the entire football expenses for 2022 was like $41M. If they have to dedicate $8M per year, for the next seven years, to pay a coach to NOT coach, that is a huge hit to their annual budget. It can be done, but the effects would be devastating.

    And there is no way they are going to get donors to 100% fund the full $100M needed to fire the current regime and bring in a new regime.

     No way SECX3 lets this typically mediocre aggy team play a bdf team in a bowl. 

    I think the SEC is done kowtowing to the aggies. And there's that whole issue of actual bowl eligibility that still hasn't worked itself out yet.
