    Took two tries.

    Bruce got him in The Cowboys.

    I see that was anticipated. I think Dern already had a healthy career. Obviously, I'm a big fan.

    I believe the Duke beat cancer 2 times before the last batch got him.

     

    Love Dern as an actor.  His character in Diggstown is always great.

     

    Plus the greatness that is Nebraska

    The Duke lost to Bruce Dern and people hated Dern for the rest of his career for it.

     

    Same reason we hate Santa Anna

    Which begs the question about John Sharp….   Why hasn’t he been asked to retire or else?    He signed off on all of Jimbos deals and even said  it was too bad it wasn’t a 15 year deal.   I know he was only joking about that, but still he was all in on the 10 year extension.   

    Because Sharp plays the legislature like a fiddle and largely gets whatever appropriations or anything else he asks for.

     

    Football may get the mob stirred up, but as long as Sharp is batting 1.000 on key appropriations a&m wants or doesn't want happening, his job is safe.

    Be physical. Get good players. Knows how to make his program successful. Verrrry impressive.

    Good bull. 

    Very insightful. Stuff I never knew was important. 

     

    I'm about the most optimistic guy in the world when we hire new coaches. If we hired this guy so we could be the place where he proves himself, I'd be furious. The Ags will rally around him and say stuff they've been saying with every new coach for decades:

    • Lot of bad stuff going on in the locker room.
    • Team didn't have that Aggie fire.
    • This guy doesn't stand for any bs.
    • He'll make us tough.
    • I think the team is getting it's swagger back.
    • tu is so scared of us.

    Sir I can remember people being excited when we hired an online coach who claimed he liked to use a blocking sled about 15 or so years ago...

    It's also a terrible hiring process. When Del Conte fires a coach he almost always has a coach lined up immediately after.

    It's pretty obvious they fired Jimbo with no plan in place. 

    We did that with Herman and everyone complained that we didn't do a national search....

    Yeah Welsh should have walked that psycho out the door Monday morning. 
     

    I guess Biork has juice right now. 

    Bjork is the fall guy when this new hire blows up and they can oust Bjork and put the Jimbo fiasco behind them all ar once.  They are literotica giving Bjork the rope to hang himself

    was he fucking around? or is that the basis of his hate for Campbell?

    No he posted about it after the Tech game that we had a great coach lined up to take the job but CDC talked them out of firing Herman after the win.  Probably the genesis of his dislike for CDC.

     

    His hatred for Campbell I think stems from the "5 star culture" bs he was spewing in Sark's first season....and how whiney he has been the past few seasons.

    Interesting, indeed. It's funny how we're so used to them shitting in their own punch bowl that the fact that they are firing him because they're afraid he'll win a big game doesn't stand out so much.

    Jimbo has to go. We need to fire him.

    Okay, as soon as the season's over we'll make the move. Good headstart. We can start preparing the search.

    Not so fast.

    Oh?

    I'm worried he'll beat LSU with a third string QB.

    Worried? Isn't that a good thing for A&M.

    No. Not if he does it. If he does it, we can't fire him.

    You've already decided to fire him.

    Yes. But if he wins the LSU game, I'll be forced to change my mind.

    Annnnnd, why is that?

    You just don't get it, do you? What if he beats LSU forcing me to keep him and then he beats tu next year? Huh, smart guy? What then?

    These are not goals you want to achieve?

    The goal is to get rid of him. I've made up my mind. Are you paying attention?

    Especially if he wins.

    Now you're getting it, son.

    I knew that I shouldn't have taken this job.

    I mean there was very real concern on here by some that Herman might save his job with a late season win....After all according to those in the know he was lined up to be fired in 2019 when he beat Tech and that was apparently enough for him to save his job for another season.....I would have much rather we fired Herman before Tech then wallowed through that next season with him.

    Interesting tweet

    If a "deal is done" this amounts to Zwernermen shouting it from the roof tops.   Not saying its done, but if it is as some of you think than BZ isn't going to waste his time talking about someone who isn't getting the job.

     

    Now granted, I don't think there is a deal done by any means, and I believe they've been rebuffed by a few of their targets they thought would be no trouble money whipping.  The stories I have heard about Bjork are so much worse then what has happened in public....

    Etc = others not receiving votes , much like a&ms last few seasons 

     

    Lane only wants the Job until Ole Miss ponies up for a raise.  Of course this is also from Lucci, so its about as reliable as the OC reporting last year. Its whatever Bjork wants him to broadcast to the faithful.

    I mean, didn't everyone obviously draw this conclusion the second they announced they were using athletic department money to pay his contract? That's happening so the boosters have powder to spend, becuase they're all furious. They're not taking away the booster money to fund a buyout. Of course they're going to spend to get talent and get shit right.

    high quality GIF

     

    I completely believe the "Athletic Department funds only" is being used just for optics.  Technically the first 2 payments are being covered by boosters, then they claim it will be athletic dept funds.  Sure...funds that are there because boosters have donated it to the AD and they then turn around and pay Jimbo.....

     

    I don't think the war chest is the given some believe, especially with the price of oil plummeting.  If they don't hire the correct guy.....ie they go a similar direction they did with hiring Petrino.....those checkbooks will snap shut in a hurry.  There is a minority contingent, that I fully expect to go Red McCombs if this thing drags on, that has been heavily involved in the funding that is ticked that Bjork wasn't shown the door with Fisher, not because they blame him for the contract, they just find him to be incompetent and highly embarrassing any time he opens his mouth....including this most recent time.

    they couldn't chance him winning vs Miss St, ACU and then somehow pulling off a win vs LSU and a bowl game and going 9-4 wasn't a chance they were willing to take.

    i get it, but those hayseeds not having a plan in place and saying they made the decision somewhere around 11/5 just after the Ole Miss game (they didn't) and have what appears to be NO PLAN based on how shitty this whole thing was rolled out is so A&M.

    if they had any plan all they had to do was have things ready to go and then push the button once word started getting out or get it out before it leaked...but they didn't

    it's become more and more clear Ross Bjork is not very good at his job. can't BELIEVE they didn't clean house and include him in the changes.

    Also Bjork somehow has it in his head that they will get this all wrapped up before the portal opens....
