Y'all hired Schiano's incompetent right hand lackey (who committed recruiting violations when he worked under Flood) as S/T coach, so congrats on that.

I never thought anyone would top 2013 Rutgers for most embarrassing public athletic department civil war, but here we are. Although that was like the indie, hipster version, not this Michael Bay, epic masterpiece.

My body is still reeling from the incredible cosmic offense of Jimbo wrangling the richest contract in CFB history. What a fuckin' travesty.

And that isn't even the craziest news of the day. That would be Fulmer torpedoing his alma mater in a blatant power grab like a loving inbred HRE despot who'll die of sleep apnea. Just stunning, stunning news.

Idgi is jimbo supposed to be bad? I mean I wouldn't necessarily shell out that kind of cash for him but he's a know quantity, he's been successful everywhere he's been (besides not getting cuckolded), won a natty, and won the conference three times. It's a solid hire besides paying him all that cash and the manner in which he left FSU.

he's fine but a) his offenses had a history of really disappearing against great defenses, b) he isn't particularly innovative, c) he hasn't really excelled except when coaching generational talents and d) he was doggedly loyal to bad assistants.

and to reward that with the richest contract in cfb history?! mind-numbing.

i think it would've been dumb of FSU to fire him, but i'm similarly stunned that he'd bail on FSU. if he brings his entire offensive staff i'm going to deafen SC with my :lol:s

He's not worth what he's getting paid, and he's famously bristly with boosters and demanding them spend money and not to interfere with his stuff.

He's as solid as we're likely to ever have, and if the contract keeps us from stupidly firing him when we're tired of winning 8 or 10 games per year in year 7 then all the better. If it's 5 years in and it's a disaster, it doesn't matter if we're stuck with him for another 5 years because the program is cursed anyway.

Yeah, but Jimbo?

Jimbo is the guy you gave 7.5m/yr to? That just kind of blows my mind. Offer that to Saban. Or Kelly. Or Meyer.

But Jimbo?!

The guy has pretty well hosed us up, I just don't think that much of him as a coach.

A&M will never be able to recruit at a level to maintain sustained success because the top players will go to Texas (even when they're terrible), LSU or OU.

Call it the Mike Gundy conundrum. He has some of the best facilities in the country, a great track record at placing players in the NFL (in high draft spots), demonstrated development and growth and a wildly successful run. He will never be able to get past the OU hump on a regular basis.

I really think at this point they need to go for a guy like Taggart or just settle for an interim to get a head start on next year's search.

On the other hand, it's the only Texas program in the SEC. I know some people may cringe at that, but it's true that it differentiates them from the other big Texas schools.

I think people see A&M laying down all this money for Fisher and thinking, "well, they must be expecting a national championship for that kind of money." And I'm sure a lot of Aggies are, but as far as I'm concerned, if he can come in and just be Mark Richt for 10 years, and establish us at least as fixture in the top half of the SEC West, it will be money well (enough) spent. Obviously not even that is guaranteed, but that's roughly my bar for success/failure.

It's true, we're not a top tier program, but you've gotta start somewhere. The top tier isn't written in stone.

That seems like a well reasoned thought process, but do you think it's reflective of A&M fanbase as a whole? I think most expect a natty within 3 years out of this. Because Jimbo won't get the chance to become Richt if the A&M powers to be are more reflective of TexAgs than you.

He will get the chance, because he's apparently guaranteed $75 million over ten years. It's like the action movie cliche where the cop and the prisoner he's escorting are handcuffed together for the entire movie

Psh.

Meyer has 3 titles at two different schools. Dabo has one.

Dabo is a premier coach to be sure, but c'mon now.
