If it’s in a good recruiting area where he can just out talent everyone to such a degree that the in game stuff doesn’t matter, yeah. Those don’t seem to be the types of jobs he’s trying for though. It’s always like Purdue or somewhere that he’d be awful.

Yeah -- I was specifically thinking one of the Florida or Texas schools. Maybe Tulane or La Tech if those came open at some point.

So basically, Aggie is going to pay $40mil to get Jimbo out of Tallahassee, probably $7-8mil for his salary, and then at least another $6 mil to do the same for his assistants, all for the ability to keep losing to Bama.

I think his buyout is less than 40 for him to go to another school. I'd also guess they'll negotiate it down because it really does sound like it's not because he wanted more money at FSU or something.

If true, I hope this doesn't turn out the same way the last time we stole a coach from a perennial powerhouse. At least Jimbo has a much better resume than Fran ever did. Even as a die-hard Aggie, the only reason I could see for Jimbo wanting to leave is behind the scenes bullshit. It's not like our fans or boosters are any less insane.

Good lord did Tennessee gently caress this up royally. The current state of the program is no surprise after watching this unfold.

After hearing about the divorce, Jimbo wanting a change of scenery makes sense, so might as well bilk the thirsty af ags for a pile of cash in the process. I kinda get wanting to move on from Sumlin, but doing so this year makes no sense with all the openings. They also need to find a way to reset expectations of the fan base because there's nothing in their history that should make them have the expectations they have

If they actually land Jimbo, I'd say it was a fine year to move on.

Yeah, some genetic disease. Jimbo and his wife have been separated for over 2 years so it seems odd that this would be popping up only now. Unless things between them have gotten worse and he wants to move on from Tallahassee.

He's no Dan Quinn but he's sure as poo poo better than Shannon.

OK, "idiot" was unfair of me. But there are three things that are true about Grantham:

1) He blitzes like a 65-year-old Internet conservative uses caps lock.
2) He will never exactly get the best out of your talent and needs a shitload of NFL caliber players to have a great defense.
3) His scheme is overly complicated and if you're relying on underclassmen, you're boned.
and 3.5) Once this happens, he will throw everyone else under the bus.

Good luck, Florida!

This doesn't make sense. A&M's medical school isn't very good and the actual associated hospitals are in Dallas, Round Rock (Austin), Houston and Temple rather than College Station where he would be.

UGA's defense was garbage in 2009. Grantham took over, made it better bit by bit, made it near great with some notable fuckups, then once those guys went and made money, the bottom fell out when he was unable to teach the young guys how to tackle. Then he left in a huff.

Then, it should be noted, Jeremy Pruitt took over and immediately the defense was awesome even with some holes.

You don’t have to let Sam Darnold do so many things, Ronald Jones is right there waiting to run folks over. How you gonna coach in the SEC if you won’t Run The Dang Ball?

I get that, but the A&M medical school couldn't be a draw when the closest hospital would be at least an hour away. And like Sab said, it's not a thing A&M is known for. Now, if Jimbo had a sick pet or livestock, that would be a different story.
