Jimbo Gone

They're insane. And people want us to be more like this.

 

What has he done that Mullen hasn't?

 

Nope, they gigged him a few weeks too early.

 

I hope it's Norvell. And I hope he completely sucks too and they're doing this again in 3 years.

 

Norvell has a contract that pays him 8 million a yr and runs through 2029. It would take another Jimbo contract to pull him away.

 

I think Texas A&M has proven they aren't afraid to spend money.

At this point it's just a matter of is Norvell their guy and will he come.

Money isn't an issue in any coaching negotiation for Texas A&M

 

Norvell is Jimbo 2.0. If he's smart and is offered, he needs to take the TAM job. His stock is at its peak. He won't reach that dollar amount at SOW.

 

I agree. I was just pointing out what A&M would have to do to lure any top coach.

Large contract that is fully guaranteed, they set a precedent with Jimbo's contract.

 

I could see Kalen DeBoer leaving UW for TAMU. Michael Penix Jr is definitely NFL bound and there’s no assurance that a QB behind him will produce results as he has. Plus some big money in a better year round climate can talk very loudly.

 

And some call him Dumbo. Sounds brilliant to me me when you can get paid millions for not working.

 

If their next coach gets Jimbolike money, they'll invest about half of our projected expenditures for our stadium renovations, etc. for two head coaches. One of which has been an abject failure.

 

Makes Mullen look like a pauper.

 

That’s why you get a good agent. The wedding is always a lot better than the divorce.

 

Kiffin may be able to do some damage with TAMU’s bankroll.

 

He’s a QB coach, play caller like Mullen.

 

Kliff Kingsbury in the picture?

 

Not just the largest buy-out in history...it's DOUBLE the previous record.

Imagine a world where fiscal discipline reigns and contracts run to completion. Where fans don't scream "Pull up the Brinks truck!" to every savvy agent who has the program over the barrel, because some fans/boosters have pitchforks and quick triggers.

I hope that's the world with Napier. I want to believe that, for once, slow/right beats quick/wrong.

 

I love how everyone was saying Jimbo hiring an OC (especially someone as highly regarded as Petrino) was a brilliant coup. How’d that work out?

 

Lagway is a relationship guy. “Whoever” has zero chance.

 

That would be no bueno.
