Asproigerosis posted:Forever lol you dumb dumbs thought THIS TIME you'll be the ones to unlock the sarkesian magic. Hey man I thought going in we could only win this one if Sanders didn’t play, and he very much did. Much more frustrating is the way we lost, having the wheels completely come off in the second half again. On the one hand Ewers was just off and there were lots of play calls that created opportunities and would’ve worked great if he was making the throws the way we’ve seen him do it before. On the other hand the announcing crew kept talking about the intense swirling winds and how it’s like the windiest stadium in the country and then both they and Sark were apparently baffled at why Ewers’ accuracy was lacking when lobbing huge rainbow throws deep downfield on a day when he already wasn’t at his best. I kept expecting us to lean on the running game to repeatedly set up easy short passes to the WRs, TEs and RB’s and try to let those guys make plays while helping Ewers settle down and get into rhythm. But it felt like we kept running occasionally and then trying to do big dropback passes over and over. I’m sure that’s what the defense was giving us but scheming your dudes open deep downfield doesn’t help that much when your QB can’t hit them. We have enough weapons on offense that Sark the super creative offensive genius should’ve been able to find a way to use them effectively.

That’s why they gave Jimbo 100 million dollars in the first place. Aggie boosters are ludicrous people, but paying 86 million to fire a football coach is too ludicrous even for them, I think

I like that someone is running the experiment of going out and getting the most accomplished coach they could land and setting up a situation where he’s basically unfireable for years and years. He’s not looking over his shoulder at trigger-happy boosters, he doesn’t have to placate anybody, he’s not incentivized to take short term gains at the expense of the long term ones, he’s not making assistant changes just to cool his seat off, etc. What happens when you pick your guy and then just let him work, through all the ups and downs, for better or for worse? It’s a whole program tying itself to the mast like Odysseus sailing past the sirens. They know they’re going to hear the siren song of overreaction and feel the irresistible urge to fire their coach or meddle with him, but they’re making it impossible to give into that urge in advance. I’m glad someone is doing it, and I’m really glad it’s not my team.

You have to add in the buyout and the contract for whichever new head coach you want to hire, the buyouts for firing Jimbo’s assistants, and the buyouts and contracts for all the assistants the new guy wants to bring in.

To be fair to Ferentz he has taken the program to probably it’s highest possible high (Rose Bowl, multiple CCGs), so having the same guy for a few decades has mostly worked It’s just now that his fatal flaw (loyalty even when it’s long past when it should have expired) has overtaken his positives he’s gonna drag the whole program down with him

Dabo's Clemson played for the ACC Championship in his first full season and won it in his third. It's discounted because the conference was hideous around this time, Clemsoning was a thing, and they gave up 700 points in the Orange Bowl to WVU, but the trajectory was there. Jimbo's made it so that A&M's ceiling is 8-4, which is insane to me

Giving Tennessee an abandonment complex is pretty good reason but also because it would sting the hell out of OU for their last title winning QB to coach their rival. Also hopefully Texas would throw cold water on his career. It’s a three part good if it went through.
