A couple of more years of Jimbo Fisher and TAMU will be another Georgia Tech. An also ran program that is the permanent little brother to their in state rival.

TAMU can't afford NOT to fire Jimbo.

When they broke up the Southwest Conference, and sold out for TV money, and started having a fake “national championship” (thanks Obama), they destroyed good old normal college football.

It couldn’t happen to a better team. Hopefully, Texas and OU will be right behind. Money grubbers.

Texas A&M has always pretty much been what you just described. And therein is the issue, they think they are a program much bigger than they are. They’re just A&M.

Texas 4&8 is stuck with Jimbo. I’m not certain that they have done away with the people who “negotiated” that contract. Ironically, Auburn is almost as much of a mess. Auburn paid a lot to get rid of a pretty good coach, only to end up back a Square One again.

Meanwhile Fisher’s old school, Floida State, has finally turned it around and the future is looking very bright

There are plenty of TAMU alum with really deep pockets who would be willing to pony up the $$$$ for the $86 million buyout

I hope you aren’t referring to Harsin as the pretty good coach.

Malzahn, I would agree, but Harsin, no.

No, I meant Gus. He is probably deserving of more than “pretty good.” Yes, he runs a gimmicky offense, but it’s a good gimmick. Harsin just ... didn’t have it. At all.

Jimbo Fisher hasn’t had his head straight since divorcing his blonde wife when he was head coach at FSU, because she fell in lust with a gator trainer coach.

Totally fecked him up. And I didn’t like him afterr Bowden, but daggum, the man had reason for going south.

He should take the money and go fishing. Praying for him to get some peace.

I’m an Aggie. Don’t know who I’m more mad at, Jimbo or the administrators who signed his contract

Meanwhile, all season, I have been saying “Brian Kelly should know know how to do this.” It might not be the best fit in terms of personality, but the guy is getting really good results. Weird profession.

That would draw about as well as the USFL does.

People support college sports because of real or imagined affiliations.
