Jimbo news

Were they not impressed by last night's blowout SEC win?
Last night one of the announcers said " where has this offense been" and I almost fell off my couch. They can't play us every weekend. Apparently these guys do zero research
Damn, only beating us 51-10 wasn't enough. I guess they wanted 70-0. At least getting "Croomed" was because someone lost to us. Hell, getting "Arnetted" is not winning by 50 or more.
Wheels have been turning on this since last season. The only thing that would have changed the timing was a loss to us. He would be packing his bags right now if that had happened.
Uh yeah, I know that. I was posting to try and be funny and all.
So this is rock bottom. Coaches get fired the day after beating us by 41.
So........Pittman and Jimbo will be canidates for the Miss State job.****
Texas AM will owe Jimbo 76.8 million if he is fired this year. WOW!

Looks like it's happening

Texas A&M set to move on from Jimbo Fisher as head football coach
With two games remaining in the sixth season of his tenure in College Station, Jimbo Fisher is expected to be let go as head coach at Texas A&M. The university is expected to announce Fisher's dismissal via release shortly.
Unbelievable if true. A&M skulldrug MSU last night, has a better record, has over 70 million more of a buyout, and WE still have a coach employed while they fire theirs.
Our defense is the cure all for ailing offenses. Still blows my mind that Arkansas didn't find a way to overcome their own ineptitudes.
We should let aTm know it's OK to talk to arnett.
It was the opening kick-off return, wasn’t it?***
They couldn't find a way because some of their players minds were "blown" that morning.
Man.. I don’t begrudge what anyone makes. But YHGTBSM? at least in today‘s dollars, I am not sure somebody with Saban’s record would I agree to that sort of buyout much less Jimbo.
I got zero problem paying a huge salary as long as the wins are there, but this does not seem like a good ROI.
Looks like Lil Fish is about to get another iced out chain and a gold plated Rolls Royce. That buyout is peak inflation.
Yeah, this is a new low. Normally this happens when our **** coach beats the other team.
I mean its a sunk cost. Was $85 million last year, would be $76 million this year, $67 million next year, and so forth. Its not like they were going to wait 7 years to fire him.
They paid Sumlin the entirety of his buyout (which was like $30 million) the day they fired him. Jimbo’s buyout is change in the couch cushions for them.
It may be a sunk cost that is pocket change to them. However, it is a sunk cost they created by being dumb enough to enter into a 10 year contract when they did not have to. Smart people know, you get 2-3 years max to win at a place like aTm. So why create that contract? Just because they couldn't stand being told no.
Probably because that’s the contract that Jimbo required to leave a blueblood school where he won a natty. They want coach, they buy coach.
I’m actually surprised Jimbo tried as hard as he did there. If I had that contract, I would hit the ground running from Day 1 and be trying to get fired as soon as possible.

This might be the most M-State moment ever. Blow out our shіtty team and we're the ones who still have our coach.
Maybe the arrangement was "loser has to keep their coach"

17 - they heard we were finalizing the contract with Stoops and are going to hire him out from under us. Dammit selmon, should have gotten the deal done already. I can’t believe we dicked around and A&M is going to get him
No, no… this isn’t the contract they used to hire him from FSU (where most of their fan base wanted to fire him).
This is the contract Bjork wrote after nearly being fired himself in Oxford. Fisher was already in College Station when Bjork arrived and was immediately given 10yrs/$100M even though his first years weren’t special.
How Bjork has survived any of this is a staggering feat of failing upwards.
Here is a good article on Jimbos contract and long term contracts in general...

Also in the article: When Texas A&M signed Fisher away from Florida State, it gave him a 10-year, $75-million contract. After his single excellent season at A&M, in 2020, it reworked his contract, so he was signed for 10 years and $94.95 million.
