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.

You gotta give Randy Duke his credit. He very often stated that Jimbo era at a&m will be hilarious for everyone but aggies.

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.

And just like that, Jimbo’s buyout was found…..

Why don't y'all take that topic to its own thread or PM's?

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.

They really don't want to get fooled again. Last time, they felt sure they were hiring a sitting "natty" winning coach. Turns out he actually was standing.
The great news is that they haven't figured out that as long as John Sharp is pulling the strings, the outcome will be similar/the same.

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.

Keeping the roster in tact and the recruiting class together have been the primary reasons stated for keeping Jimbo. If neither are happening then…
Well, that...... and the $100M

Maybe if the city stopped re-electing the exact same people over and over things would change?

There's chatter that Max Johnson is out and A&M is going to be on their third string QB
Because he’s legit injured or because Jimbo shoved him in the back in national tv?

I think Looch will be asked to burn it down to get rid of Jim.
Billy will do whatever Sharp tells him to do.

Probably did just enough to hold on to everybody. If that sounds insane, it should because it’s true.
You can’t hide that road record. A single game doesn’t change that.

Anyone betting a&m in this game has obviously not consulted the calendar.
Today is the last day of October and we all know what happens on the roller coaster after today.

1 - Tax evasion/non-payment
2 - Drug trafficking
3 - Health code violations
4 - Liquor code violations
5 - Fire / Insurance fraud
There is a TABC law that states that the owner of the establishment can never be intoxicated in premises. That seems like the low hanging fruit.

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