    I have a feeling (like a lot of you) that the Fisher Petrino thing won't turn out well.

    In the end, I wonder how much longer Fisher can hang on?

    And people in our fanbase talk about the AD that hired him like he’s the savior of the world.

    Petrino wasn't the problem. Defense is the problem. They scored enough points to win. That defense couldn't stop anything.

    It's not like TAMU couldn't have known about the toxic culture at FSU, and all the other stuff.
    I'm so disappointed a great school like TAMU could hire a scumbag like Fisher, but wanting to be good at football trumps a lot of common sense.
    (True for many great schools.)

    Not too many good guys when it comes to major sports programs in my opinion. Everyone has their skeletons. I do put fsu, georgia, Miami lsu and a few others in their own echelon though.

    I will say this about Jimbo, as I said about Rogers with the Jets and his injury:

    He is going to cry...all the way to the bank. Poor soul.

    Could they just hire another head coach and just pay him to water the lawn and avoid the buyout?
    I always knew in my heart that he was waayyyyy over paid and it would end badly.

    The buyouts are crazy. Why do your job when you can do nothing and make just as much money.
