kliff would make me laugh, maybe he's learned something but he's sucked everywhere he's went . he was fucking fired from tech , but hey he's available ! 

traylor would be solid , as would klieman, but neither move the flex needle 

then you have playoff contenders who aren't going to make any sudden moves 

kiffin, pretty sure he likes women too much to go to a&m 

and elko, who may be wise enough not to go back to a&m 

how about 1 used tom herman ? 

could be a long coaching carosuel

Saw when broke with Billy's tweet multiple ags saying they were waiting for a reputable source to confirm 🤣

So in other words, they can’t find Reveille.

Deion is a hilarious Gomer pipe dream. Nike is supposedly paying $10M per year.

aggy is about to make a lot of coaches a lot of extra money with quick extensions. Dan Lanning and Kalen DeBoer will be the first. 

[Wulaw Horn 18917]

I told you people that the buyout wasn’t that big a deal. 
40 or 50M up front for all of the buyouts and then the 8M a year is a rounding error in a 250M budget or wherever we get to with the Death Star sec money.

If he really gets $76,000,000 to leave there have to be some people in administration who lose their jobs as well. People who sign off on these contracts have to have some ownership of them as well.

[Hornin04 249]

This was the news I needed after seeing another mediocre win and near second half meltdown with the cutty sark

[mdmost 42167]

The most amusing part is aggy really went for it, paid the highest guaranteed salary to get a national championship winning coach, and it did absolutely nothing except a few wins against Bama and LSU. 

[General Specific 3148]

Even Looch isn't this dumb.....is he?
Surely, aggy already has an agreement in principle with their next HC. Right?

A gentlemans agreement? Make it so!

Imagine spending 76M to fire a coach instead of spending it on NIL for the program. Hahahahahahahahahahaha this is the end of Texas a&m football 

It seems like they're planning on the school paying the buyout so the bmd's aren't tapped out over NIL

How many HC/coordinators' agents are calling Thamel to ask for a favor right now? That man probably turned his phone off hours ago.

[Blotto 23226]

Oooh. Kliff was not a name that even remotely crossed my mind. As majorly bummed as I am about losing Jimbo in CS, hiring KK would be a pretty good bounce back. Any rational  person will quickly discount that possibility thinking no athletic department could be that fucking dumb. But the ability to reach new depths in stupidity is what sets  aggy apart. Come on Russ, you got this. 

[Chips O'Toole 1293]

That trophy case pic needs to be updated with a plaque for "Greatest ever recruiting class - 2022" right next to "World's Highest Ever Head Coach Buyout Amount - 2023".

Isn't "school paying the buyout" the same as "taxpayers of the state of Texas paying the buyout?"  

The "school" and the "athletics department" are hypothetically independent entities.

So over the course of Jimbo's 25 year career, he's been paid just short of $78M to coach. Now the Aggies are paying his $76M to GTFO and retire.

[6th Street 6245]

Kingsbury would make sense given the timing

Oregon State HC also solid and prob wants into a major conference

[veritas aequitas 436]

 

a&m may hit 200k students in the next few enrollments to pay for this.

[gofuckyourself 8023]

With all the names already thrown out you have to understand aggy psychology to know who it will actually be.

They're eternally insecure and desperate for recognition and acceptance, be it fraudulent wall plaques or fake championship plaques.

It will definitely be another splash hire. It has to be a big name so they can puff up their chests and assert, yet again, that they will finally be reaching the college football mountaintop.

Media is overlooking a proven big name winner who will likely be available soon and ready for a new challenge.

Did anyone take ownership of killing 12 students?  
No one will take ownership of this either.

That will not go over well in many circles. Legislators, faculty, anyone paying tuition

You don't pay 3.5xs the highest buyout ever to hire UTSA's coach

I hear your point, but you should go back and revisit Jimbo's contract through the lens of things rational people don't do.

aggy not only does them, they take pride in them like they've figured out some super secret path to guaranteed success that no one else thought of.

It would be shocking if they did all of this to hire Traylor, but the fact that it would be so shocking almost makes it more likely.

They better have a plan because their recruiting class and roster is about to get picked over.

The recruits weren’t signing up for Jimbo. If anything, they’ll likely hold on to most that would’ve been transferring out this offseason.

I’m 45 and just got my acceptance letter to aggy and I didn’t even sign up, and it’s only $199.99 in 4 east payments.

Imagine being Jimbo and waking up to this news. It's Christmas fucking morning at the Fisher household.

[Bill Lumbergh 7157]

I don't really do the twitters, but I really hope everyone who does is resurfacing the "Jimbo's extension will seem like a bargain for a&m" tweet this morning.

[mdmost 42167]

Well I guess aggy can always add the "We Paid The Highest Buyout Ever" trophy to their case.

I think this is terrible news. I have developed quite a fondness for Jimbo. His press conferences following a loss are easily my favorite thing about college football.

 

 

[Neonmoon 38126]

Since this Aggy

There’s a strong chance they’re firing Jimbo because Weigman wouldn’t stay with him being the coach. 

[Hard Times 281]

Tom Herman is the obvious choice. Make it happen aggie.

[MonkeyDoughnut 9944]

Mike Norvell is the guy they need, but no way they do that , right??

God….this is glorious. And I hate it, because I want him around forever. I also hate it because money is fungible, and one of our state universities is lighting $76 million on fire because they just can’t stop being fucking stupid pathetic little brother.

Aggy was outsmarted by a mouth breathing idiot and his agent. And it wasn’t even a fair fight.

It's about the Texas game.  Period.  Every decision they make revolves around us.  Don't think it's a coincidence they're doing this the year before we join.

It's breathtaking in how wasteful the Jimbo era has been. They've wasted a hundred million dollars. And of course, no one will lose their jobs for this error because their masters wanted Jimbo and money didn't matter. And now they want Jimbo gone and the money still doesn't matter.
