Jimbo has won a national title and almost 10+ games a season. What did people expect A&M to offer? Hell, Dan Mullen just signed on for $6million per year and he doesn't have a resume anywhere near Jimbo's.

He's the best coach on the market. He costs what he costs. I'd rather throw big money around on a big name than go discount shopping in the value bin

He still won’t be the highest paid coach.

Yep, the length of the contract is concerning but it's not like Jimbo would uproot for a 3 year deal.

Depends on the buyout. What happens in 5-6 years and he doesn’t win and A&M owes him $35 million

Its not, its just money.

LSU could afford it but we have a jackass running the show. We currently pay around 10 million to our football staff

That's what I was thinking, O and the two coordinators alone seem like they'd be around 7. The same people guffawing tonight were begging Alleva to throw the bank out at Herman and Jimbo a year ago.

7.5 isn’t crazy, but a 10 year guaranteed contract is insane.


That’s assuming that the contract really is 10 years, 7.5 mill

Agree.

We are paying 10 million for 3 losses in the worst SEC in easily 10 years with a senior QB and the best defensive coordinator in the country. YAY

I've never bought that Aranda has completely wrote off being a HC

Could be that Alleva will turn to him at the end of O's deal or sooner if things go south

I don’t think the dollars per year is that crazy. The length is, and I am interested to see if the whole thing is guaranteed. Jimbo had a $40m buyout already on his current deal at FSU. He’s a top 5 coach in CFB now as far as resume and will be the third highest paid coach in the country

He costs whatever the market dictates.

It just shows A&M’s commitment to swing for the fences and go after their guy. Who knows? We may could have actually gotten him if Alleva wasn’t such a throbbing pussy.

I doubt it's 100% guaranteed. But I bet most of it is

I hope thats what they are doing.

We arent winning the SEC with O as a coach, especially with the addition of Fisher in the West
