    Gerry mentioned this morning on YouTube that he has heard good things about Kibble so far this season.

    From having talked to recruits parents that have played against the OL in that district, they said he wasn’t quite a kelvin banks, but definitely in that class of HS OL. Super technical, really strong and a really smart player. He’s gonna be great and my favorite lineman of our class.

  2. It’s not 77MM all up front; I think it’s only 25% due within 60 days. While painful, it’s also the long term commitment over the remaining years to continue paying it (and the current staff buyouts) off on top of the initial outlay for the new coach and new staff. You’re asking a lot of wealthy donors to pay a lot of money for basically a decade - the same people that likely have already been heavily donating to NIL efforts. 

    Something has to give. The suspense is killing me; I hope it’ll last.

    I think this has been discussed before, but I believe Jimbo's entire contractual salary is fully guaranteed, with no "for cause" provision to escape the buyout.

    Now, aggy might still conjure up a plausible termination for some sort of bad behavior, and use that as cover for hiding behind a sovereign immunity defense like Tech did with Mike Leach.  

    Everything is negotiable and some candidates will have more leverage than others, but I’d be surprised if many of these mega contracts have a “for cause” provision going forward after watching what’s happening with Michigan State.

    the buyout ask isn't going to be $100m up front. it's somehow worse because that would be a 1 time fee. instead they pay him out annually over the length of his contract, which runs until 2031.

    what's the actual up front ask?

    • they owe him something like 25% of whats remaining on the contract within 60 days of firing him - call that 20m
    • buying out the new coach coach? say 3m
    • paying the new coach? say 9m
    • paying new staff? say 8m (this assumes minimal buyout for existing staff and for new staff and all staff's contracts end 12/31/23 which they don't)

    so the ask will be somewhere in the neighborhood of $40m basically "up front" to buy him out, replace him and then replace staff.

    THEN on a go forward basis you have 9m for the new coach + 8m for the new staff + jimbo's salary on top of that (like 58m left divided by the 6 years left so a little over 8m per year) - so the annual cost for your coaching staff goes from ~16 million to ~24 million. and this is in place until 2031 (!!!)

    that's a fuckload of money considering that tOSU is paying all in 21.6 million for their coach + staff, Bama is paying a little under 20 million, LSU a little under 19 million

    yes, the money is absolutely out there in peoples accounts. the money exists. but will boosters be willing to pay it? idk. i'll believe it when i see it and not a second before then. that's an incredible request. add in that you then have to hope you get it right and anyone that donates that much/cares that much is going to want a seat at the table basically...super active boosters can fuck a lot of things up.

    it means they have to admit they as an organization made a huge mistake hiring him, then extending him, then deal with the fallout once he leave and shittalks them at every opportunity, then deal with it being talked about every single time they are on TV and on gameday (remember when they hired him to the largest guaranteed contract ever, then extended him?) for the next decade. this also assumes you don't have further blowback at the high school level and can weather the storm of what is going to come out once you fire him.

    idk if their psyche can handle that.

    all of that, and then add NIL obligations as well. 

    Who am I kidding, they'll probably just take out another loan from the university and raise tuition another couple grand per student.

    It's actually a novel field of fracking, where we fire nutria into the bedrock at approximately twice the speed of sound, or Mach 2. Works way better than traditional fracking fluid. My LSU coworkers largely specialize in managing JIT delivery of nutria to well sites.

    Ovie likely picked LSU simply because it was his best option.
    Nobody worth a shit could have possibly wanted a player that Texas was getting rid of. 

    Have any of our portal jumpers gone on to great success somewhere else...like ever?

    Jared Wiley is doing well at TCU, though not sure he would be ahead of Sanders anyways.

  7. KJ was the guest picker a couple years back for a big 10 game if I recall.  He was actually pretty good, notwithstanding his hate on Houston and the Astros. 

  8. I saw an early line released for Texas OU that was -5.5.  Unfortunately, my bookie only takes lines the week of the game. If its anywhere less than 10 on Monday I am going to hammer it to fucking oblivion. It'll probably be more like your 9.5 after this weeks' buttfucking though.

    Even with that list of first round qbs, Jameis was really the only one that was truly a great college qb. The rest of those guys were pretty inconsistent in school.

    Basically the theme is they flashed really high ceilings based on their elite physical gifts but failed to put it all together in college and they were drafted high on potential. 

    To people that can think critically, that would indicate that he's actually a shitty developer, but we are talking about aggies and other smooth brain idiots.

    Only appropriate question to ask them is, “why the fuck they’d let their kid play for Jimbo, for fucks sake?!”

    He’s been a terrible QB coach. The one time he couldn’t ruin a good QB, he had to cover up multiple sexual assaults to benefit from his good fortune.

    I ask different people this that either followed Jimbo pre-A&M, or are Aggies now, and they are all convinced he is a quarterback whisperer due to draft results of Jamarcus Russell, Christian Ponder, EJ Manual and Jameis Winston.  It's hard to ignore so many first round draft picks at the position, but clearly there is a pattern of under-performance among these guys (and that is putting it nicely) and a drop-off of even that which is ignored.

    Fucking morons.

    Their acceptance rate is so high because they WANT a 70k+ student university so they can print as many diplomas as possible and mint as many new aggy grads as they can to help raise funds to fire Jimbo.

     

    fixed it
