...86 million dollar payout.
I wish I was on the hot seat.
Lmao
Hey Scott Frost got an $15M severance package
I'm telling you the best job in America right now are fired NFL/CFB HCs. Lmao sit at home & get paid millions for years 😂😂
Hiring him wasn't the worst thing, but the extension certainly was. There was no reason to give him that extension. He hadn't earned it and he still had seven more years on his current contract. Had they not given him an extension, he would have 5 years/7 mil left. It would still be expensive, but next year would be his hot seat must win now year. Instead if they fire him after next year they owe him 80 million. The extension was the dumbest thing ever in sports.
I'm glad they did it and they pay their players 😂 that's right shell out the cash
Completely agree. The AD should be fired with cause been the reason, stupidity
That AD got bent over and donkey dicked by Jimbo agent. Fire him at least.
The contract extension is why there are Aggie jokes!
Wait till his players start transferring, and they will.
The hire was fine, but the extension was insane.
The reason the extension was insane proves the hire was bad
The first issue was the amount and length of contract, then the extension before accomplishing ANYTHING
Yeah that was my point too. I don't bregrudge them for making a big splashy hire, but what on Earth was the reason for the extension? Pure insanity. His buyout would look a lot differently if not for the extension. It would still be super high, but it would be
@@Proudmule1 I mean I get hiring Jimbo away from FSU and needing to overpay to make it happen. He just didn't prove anything in his first few years to warrant a raise and an extension. The covid year they were good, but you don't give a guy a giant contract based on the covid year when you of course didn't win the conference.
This is the correct take
I thought he was past his expiration date at FSU. TAM rolling out the Brinks truck was insanity.
So far atm has paid $60 million to beat Bama once…
Hahahha lol
How much did UT-Austin pay Sark to go 1-6 in road games? Manhattan and Lawrence await!
@@1185AspAve lol
@@1185AspAve Not as much as Texas A&M has paid Jimbo Fisher to stay mired in under-performance for going on 5 years.
the AD hire was the worst decision they made. him giving jimbo the extension turned a bad situation into a terrible one
South Carolina is doing good give us the rec
🧐🧐🤘🏼
Coming from a bama fan.
So glad he didn't come to LSU
Yeah bc LSU would probably be as bad or worse then A&M right now. 😂
As a FSU alum, I dealt with Bimbo bailing on the team when he was at the school. He knew he was leaving early and literally stopped recruiting leaving the Noles in desperate times for the following year. A lot of the mess the team is incurring now is a result of him not caring about the team with his eyes on the money he would be getting in College Station. Willie Taggert didn’t help. A&M made a poor decision in giving him an extension based on what? Be careful what you wish for.
Jimbo holding FSU hostage every year for more money should have been a tell for A&M. Remember he said FSU didn't have the right facilities and due to his lack of disciplining players they all had to sign a pledge? 🤣If not for his luck in Jameis committing to FSU AND Jameis having the ability to immediately understand Jimbo's "system" leading to the Natty, it very well could be FSU dealing with this nonsense. Personally, I'm now glad he left us because I think we're better off with Mike Norvell. Go Noles!
If I had performed like J-Bo did his last few months at FSU, my employer would have fired me. I never understood why FSU didn't fire him for cause. Thankfully, T-A&M took him off our hands!
100% agree. Jimbo Fisher is a ridiculously overrated coach and a p.o.s. sell-out; this is just the karma police coming to collect on his @ss. He 100% quit on the FSU program and left it shambles by the way he handled his exit. And the A.D. giving him that ridiculous contract should be fired for his ridiculous lack of judgement. I’ll take Mike Norvell all day, every day over that bumbling idiot Jumbo.
There were rumors about Jimbo replacing Les Miles when he was still at FL ST. I never saw him as an upgrade from Miles. The contract extension was a dumb move, but I'm glad they did it. Geaux 🐅!!
Mizzou also
Joe Aleva did try to hire Jimbo to replace Les, but the money wasn't right. Good thing for my tigers that Aleva was a cheapskate. 2019 wouldn't have happened with Jimbo coaching LSU.
@@lawv804 agreed! No way Jimbo would have hired Joe Brady. And he might have got Burrow to transfer and benched him in favor of Brennan.
@@robertclark5874 Jimbo was almost Saban's successor too. Saban recommended he be hired to replace him after he left for the dolphins, but we hired Les instead.
These ridiculous contracts need to be performance based. You’ll end up stroking a check for $80M to send him home.
I think congress is going to pass an antitrust exemption for collegiate athletics in order to cap these insane idiotic salaries
@@mitchelll3879 Yes, because Congress makes things SO much better...

@@alphabarre9096 Think about it. Congress getting involved and litigators from California pushing it to the Supreme Court is what got us NIL.
Never been a Fisher fan. Guy has done nothing of note without Jameis Winston. Overpaid and overrated. His failures without Winston at FSU and Texas A&M are not a shock to me.
Everyone who wins has excellent player's. But in his case not working at A&M
And remember with Winston they trailed auburn until the very last play at the goal line in that national championship game.i wouldn't have hired fisher as even a coordinator much less a head coach
@@michaelmerck7576 Fisher's one of the golden boys 😏
Jameis Winston's done nothing without Jimbo two
@@allensaunders449 Georgia won with a back up QB
The hire might not have been bad, but they're going to regret the contract.
thats exactly right...why not give him try but the contract is crazy...no way he is going anywhere
.......because the hire was bad
Jimmy Sexton will end up getting banned from negotiations. This is utter madness.
Jimmy Sexton has been raping Texas A&M since 2014 (he was Sumlin's agent as well)
A&M’s has so much money they’ve actually spent themselves into a position of mediocrity.
Well Paul, I was at Texas A&M working when Jimbo arrived in College Station. I admin as a new hire in College Station I was in awe of the large school and my office window was across from Kyle Field. I rode my motorcycle over to campus and also did tailgating. Five years later, I am disappointed. I am happy with some of the players. One thing I don't like about Jimbo is that if the Aggies have the ball less than a minute before the half they kneel and not try to score before the half. This has cost them games which many have been by just ONE score. If they had played and happen to score then they probably could have won the game. Contrast this to Saban who can be up 40 points and still try to score in the minute before halftime. I don't hear a lot about this but it's just my thoughts.
I’m so glad you said this. It used to drive me crazy as an FSU fan to watch them give up on scoring before the half with a minute and a half to go. It makes absolutely no sense to me and Jimbo has always done it
@@bobsaget6252 I was going to reply the same thing use to drive me crazy.
Jimbo is a overrated jackass...he thinks it's all about him and no one else
*Those players will leave for Jackson State, Alabama, Univ So California.*
He is running out of play so he did want his players play more even still one minute or 2 minutes left
Proof that no amount of money can buy you a NC. It is absurd what they have paid Jimbo to begin with but that money is making a LOT of FSU fans smile as we all told you so when he went to A&M. 🤣
Yeahh look how FSU is doing its no different lol
🤔 and the coaches after him are so much better at FSU right???
He cant handle SEC
At least fsu was play off bound when he was there
@@spartan_a1176 this didn’t age well
He got extended for beating Bama. There's no other explanation...
Yep
I agree with you about the 5 year window.
Yeah, having Winston definitely helped but everyone is forgetting about Jeremy Pruitt for that 2013 season. That 2013 D was nasty to go along with Winston. Jalen Ramsey and a few others would not have been at FSU without Jeremy Pruitt.
That whole team was loaded
Yup, the special teams were insane also lol.
An all time kicker and Olympic sprinter at KR
Florida State fan here. Although he won the National Title in 2013 they underachieved every other season he was there, and he didn’t seem to care in his last season.
Jimbo is an elite recruiter and a slightly above average coach. Unless he finds a Jameis Winston he won't be able to cover up his coaching deficiencies.
Jimbo isn't the recruiter. Those old white men that run aTm provided the guaranteed money to those recruits that enticed them to waste their college careers under 4-Loss Fish.
The Winston thing is a silly repeated talking point. He won the Orange Bowl twice without Winston. He had multiple 10 win seasons without Winston.
Well he hasn't been elite enough to get a top QB and with the state of the offense I don't think that will change.
@@hoozurmama883 tell me you don’t know Texas A&M recruiting without telling me.
Haynes King was the 5th ranked best duel qb. Conner Weigman was rated the 1 QB by rivals and ESPN. The issue hasn’t been getting talent at QB, it’s been developing the talent. King just doesn’t look the same after his injury from last year. We don’t know what Weigman is going to look like yet.
Jimbo can only win big if a generational Heisman level QB comes his way. Winston actually regressed at FSU after 2013. And that #1 class of his this year had alot more to do with NIL money than it did Jimbo's recruiting skills. Don't be surprised to see several aTm players hit the transfer portal after this season, as several other programs that were behind on the NIL curve now have their programs together.
Now it’s a bad hire just a couple months ago jimbo was the next saban at A&M supposedly
I’m soooo happy LSU didn’t make that mistake and hire Jimbo
They owe Sumlin an apology.
The only way to get rid of him is a NCAA investigation or a grad student motorcycle ride.
No they don't. They're not at all the same situation. As a die hard Aggie fan who follows the program down to every recruiting, coaching position, etc detail... Paul is an idiot who only sees the program from a broad perspective. Months ago and Fisher was a genius pulling in a future natty type class. The media is playing to the narrative they want to paint.
@@MichaelStephenLau Exactly. Being a Pundit is the best job in sports. Just act like you know everything and create a narrative to deflect when you are wrong. If he really knows football a lot, he should be a national champion coach right now and dominating like Saban.
@@MichaelStephenLau The Media is stupid, but Jimbo was a mistake. He ran FSU into the ground and then Bolted to a program begging for success. He successfully fooled everyone in College Station into believing in him
@@dyltack5349 It’s just an ignorant take from people (even Aggie fans) that aren’t aware of the ascension in talent level is there, but the program was hit with the injury bug causing many upperclassmen to sit out and many even leave the team/retire. >80% of the team now are underclassmen who were just in high school last year and thrown in and told to swim. Box score last game showed SCar out played, but super young teams make a ton of mistakes. Hence 17 easy points with under 19 yards on offense. That doesn’t even take into account major coaching position changes like at OL for example. The depth at OL is horrendous and coaching is too. It’s showing.
Like Josh Pate said, The cars wrecked this season. It doesn’t get more wrecked each game, it’s already totaled. The team will need to mature, and coach will have to make major coaching hires this offseason to right the ship.
@@MichaelStephenLau you can say the talent level has improved yes, but if talent isn’t being devolved well what’s the point? Haynes King was a 4 star QB and has looked lost since stepping on the field. And how many of those recruits will leave if the team continues to lose?
TAMU is screwed either way in my opinion. They will either have to spend a very large amount of money or risk losing the ability to recruit anything above 3 stars. My preseason prediction for this year was 4-8 and I'm still sticking to that.
You are a better prognosticator than ESPN's college football staff.
Jimbo owes Jameis Winston half of that A&M contract. That national championship at FSU that Winston won is still getting Jimbo paid.
Being a Hog fan! I like Jim Bo at A& M.
Being a bama fan; same 🤣

Yes it was a bad hire but thank you for taking him off our hands Go Noles!!
Why isn't 5-7 being offered for consideration?
Bama’s historical dominance…currently with Saban’s unrepeatable 15+ year dynasty, the Bear’s multiple runs and multiple other coaches with ‘Chip runs has made BAMA such an untouchable iconic standard… by just defeating them gets coaches raises/ext and can put entire struggling programs back on the map 🤯 and all from just one win. Doesn’t even matter if it’s a last second/play win or by a single point either.
Jimbo got the extension because he’s good friends with Scott Stricklin who is the AD at LSU….A&M was worried about him leaving and going there before Brian Kelly got hired…..he signed the extension at the beginning of last years season before they even beat Bama
Nothing to do with bama, you people are a joke.
Go somewhere else to talk about that backwoods school that cheats to win
Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Gene Stallings, Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, Mike Price, and Mike Shula before Nick Saban.
It was a idiotic hire when they first hired him. Anybody watching the last 3 years of FSU under Jimbo should have been a big clue.
And he just left ship halfway through the season cause they were doing so poorly. Got hired before he can get fired
He let the standard slip when he let Jameis get away with his bs
He screwed up FSU and he will ultimately screw up TAM. I was always a TAM fan until Jimbo got there.
Jimbo Fisher will eventually get fired by Texas A&M, as did Kevin Sumlin, etc., but he could drive a Brinks armored truck filled with all the money he will get paid because of that unmerited contract extension.
What do you expect from aggies?
There very well may be a mass exodus via the portal from A&M at the end of the year, then that #1 class they had means nothing.
What kid with a brain would hang onto this destruction? Yes, the transfer portal will be full
When Kevin Sumlin gets a "Hey you up?" text
He can't be fired to much in buy out. It has been a bad hire. Extension was crazy
Aggie logic for ya'!....talkin bout the Backroom Big boys not the fans...NOBODY is worth a guaranteed 100 mil...
“Willie B where dreams go to die”
Is that a Spurrier quote?😳😜🤔😂
From scrimmage is not a kickoff. It's the first play on offense or defense.
chill you know what he means
I am chill. I was just making a statement
Folks, this is the same school that produced Johnny Manziel. Are Jimbo's results better, worse or about the same as Kevin Sumlin? I know they weren't this patient with Sumlin, that's for sure.
Manziel was a one year wonder. His second and last year at A&M is exactly what they have been since. The exact same as in the Big 12. Average at best. They were never a football powerhouse historically and never will be no matter how much money they throw at people. They're pretenders. Simple as that.
About the same, and it’s bc of the huge buyout clause
Folks, this is A and M.. they're not nor ever will be an elite program

Aggies are starting to wake up. They want Jimbo gone
@@Gada947, you think?
What I think is that even beating Alabama in ‘21 has turned into a loss overall for A & M…cost them at least: 80 million (buyout cost as of ‘22) minus 7 million (buyout cost as of ‘21 if the extension had not happened) = 71 million…hope that one win over Bama was worth it!!
@@musicmimi289 Oil money at A&M doesn’t care about the buyout. Why do you think they accepted it that much? Finebaum had breakfast with some high-level A&M folks and they said that they could care less about the buyout, and that should make Jimbo scared for his job. Either way Jimbo is winning, but I don’t think A&M higher ups will count it as a loss for them.
We are a few days from November and A&M still does not have 1 single offensive skill player committed for the 2023 recruiting class.
The biggest obstacle at A&M is Jimbo's mouth! He needs to coach some junior college in North Dakota - even that is too good for him!! He's a digrace to the SEC!!
Well put...
I like Matt's 5 year coaching evaluation period. I had always felt 4 years was the right number but maybe 5 is better.
I heard GT is interested in Jimbo. I hope Texas ATM gives jimbo a life time contract 😂 RTR
He might work out there if only to recruit.even fisher could make them better short term.the problem fishers teams always have is bad offensive lines and no running game ,he Relies entirely on a dynamic QB to run his outdated and awful offense

*Let's talk about Kevin Sumlin's apology.*
I think he’s a great recruiter but I don’t know if coaching wise he’s the right fit for A&M
A great recruiter he may be but he is not a good head coach
A great recruiter but a horrible play caller a horrible motivator and makes too many excuses
A great recruiter or to quote Sabqn He Bought all of his players"
Facts you can buy players but will they buy into your process
One hundred million says HE IS!😁
There is no hot seat for Jimbo.
Fisher’s Aggies can lose their remaining five games (finish 3-9) and he still retains his job.
Why? Because the Aggies will not pay Jimbo not to be HFC at College Station.
Jimbo’s agent is a genius.
I hope we give him another extension 🙏🏽

As a bama fan, yes please.
Please give him another extension. I get to laugh every year.

Mario Cristobal is in first year while Jimbo is in his 5th. Besides, Cristobal as far as I know, is not nearly as arrogant and loud mouth as Fisher is.

Lol
this is not his first year.
South Carolina fans have always been classy appreciate it but he’s not a good coach
@@foxtrothd5924 Agreed - from a Florida State fan.
That's what I've been saying🤣
If you think the issue is money at ATM you know nothing about the program. Go look up their endowment. The issue is if the AD fires him he admits fault and would soon be fired as well. AD holding on as long as possible for a turnaround to save himself.
I would take A&M over any Miami Hurricanes AD in past lol😂
Go back to the Big 12. They can actually win a conference title there... oh wait this aint the 90s
Make Durkin your H.C that dude is a talent magnet there'd be no drop off in recruiting. He's smart enough and his ego would not prevent him from getting a top tier elite offensive coordinator to run that talent in a modern offence . He'd run that defense the way it should without Jimbo interfering.
The guy demanded extensions all the time at FSU and we got sick of him. The guy had Bowden fired and then tanked a program and I believe he did it on purpose out of spite. Jimbo's real colors are starting to show. He's a good coach...but he's far from a great one. Take away Jameis Winston and he's as average as the next guy with the confidence of a winner. Been telling A&M fans since this hire they would regret it....
He didn't have Bowden fired. I'm no fan of his, and definitely not a fan of how he sodomized FSU in 2017, when he began plotting his exit in May 2017, and stopped recruiting late summer, but he definitely did NOT get Bowden fired. Period. No need to revise history
When the University of Houston beat Jimbo Fisher's FSU team in the 2015 Peach Bowl, I thought that should have shown that despite talent advantages, Jimbo Fisher underachieves as a coach.
@@BigDave131 Lethargic rate of play was agonizing to watch.
They can't fire him because of his contract. You crazy to let him go unless the school can get him out of contract. If you read his contract Texas a&m should've been more cautious
maybe it's no different than getting a prenup? Hindsight, of course is 20/20
To those 5 star players playing with two star hearts. Follow thee to Tennessee
Jimbo fishers legacy is his departure from FSU and his big mouth and not backing it up
The media just loves throwing gasoline on every fire they can find. Jimbo was not the worst hire. The OC and offensive position coaches may have been. The players are on campus or on their way with this recruiting cycle. Jimbo just needs to evolve as a HC and realize he can’t keep playing OC. The job is too demanding to be HC/OC. He has to find a great OC this off season and give him the keys, then focus on being a head coach.
I could have told you that back in 2017.
Lot of commentary on the coach but Paul brought up the AD extending him. Seems like the AD needs to go as soon as possible. A&M is a complete catastrophe right now.
Jimbo is the man
Ya think??
Hiring him wasn’t bad, giving that extension was definitely questionable. Jimbo is at that crossroads point every coach goes through. Adapt & survive or Don’t. Dabo is going through it too. as far as you have to adjust your philosophy to stay relevant. Jimbo is gonna have to get an innovative OC
His crossroad came after Winston. What we are seeing here is what happened at FSU. His style of coaching eventually wears thin with the players and they tune him out. He will give preferential treatment to some players over others which creates divisions in the locker room. He will cut corners on character and it destroys the locker room. Jimbo isnt giving up OC duties willingly. If the admin and boosters force the issue he will run the program into the ground like he did at FSU. He head butted with administration and boosters and ran the program into the ditch. When he saw where it was going in 2017 he bailed. FSU is just barely recovering 5 years later.
Dabo is going through what???
@@shunk7560 a clear crossroads of philosophy. You can see it his teams have taken a step down. Their not getting the talent their used to on the offensive end. In recent years his recruiting has taken a hit and his offensive staffs playcalling has been bad really since Trevors last year but they had etienne to cover up a lot of it.
The right coach wears 10 hats.... young... energetic...likes youngsters.. is multicultural... knows the xs and Os like einstein knows math... can speak to alumni... good recruiter.. works all day... is a 24/7 coach..... is jimbo that ? I respect the coaches they deal with alot....
This coming from the guy who said he would take Jimbo Fischer over Dabo Swinney lol
8 and 4, 8 & 4, 8 & 4. Isn't this why Kevin Sumlin was fired? But Jimbo leads a charmed life. Wins a national title and coasts the rest of the way. Hasn't come close since then. It's not that he's a bad coach, it;s that he isn't an elite coach. Plain and simple.
$86 million buyout = (1) leverage by Jimbo, and (2) contract malpractice by the A&M athletic director.
You are right Paul: Jimbo Fisher was a BAD HIRE for Texas A&M. It is the worst
Aggie 86
A&M and jimbo serve one another.
They should've sent Sumlin to rehab, and paid whatever to keep Kingsbury around (honestly they should try to grab him as OC after the Cardinals release him after this season). Never cared for them after that Era, it was the Renaissance of aggie football, every game thrilling...
Was he worse than Texas investment in Sark?
Kickoff is not the first play from scrimmage.
As an A&M fan, they don't deserve to be in the SEC on how they are playing and in the future games as well if they keep this up
It took this long to even mention this............ Obviously Tami admin threw money around and screwed it up
Can’t say this was a worse decision than the AD from Michigan State pushing out Saban.
Jimbo Fisher is the best 8-4 coach money can buy.
Jimbo is one of the best coaches in America who is struggling now but later they will be a terror in the SEC. SteveBaggett

IT is the contract extension that was bad, that is on Texas A&M not JF, I don't blame him at all, you go for and get whatever you can.
I have no idea why A&M fan's expect them to win everything? They have 3 times more sub .500 seasons than they do 10+ win seasons. This isn't a storied program like Ohio State, Texas, Alabama or OU. This is a middle of the pack team. Always has been.
I guess that NIL doesn't coach itself 👍
Lmfao. Texas hasn't been a perennial power since the 1970s. And Texas A & M hasn't been a perennial power since the 1950s. They both spend like crazy for average results.
Texas A&M will certainly win at most 8 games this season. ❤

What scares me about the whole Jimbo Fisher fiasco is that Scott Woodward at LSU was actually trying to steal Jimbo Fisher away from Texas A&M last year during LSU's coaching search. Oh my freaking Gawd!
