Because Aggie was willing to pay that.

Because Sumlin was worth over $30 million with a way worse resume.

What has Jimbo accomplished to warrant $75 million over 10 years?

He has only had one recruiting class out of the top 5 the last five years.

This. They’re worth what someone will pay for them. Realistically is Jimbo 10 yr 75 mm good? No way. He’s 5 yr 25-30 mm good.

But Aggy needed to make a splash because of their current situation and it always looks good when it happens to pull someone from another big name program.

But with that price, anything less than a national championship in 5 years is complete failure on the part of Fisher and the AD.

Because he's a national championship winning coach and that's what you have to pay him to get him to leave his old job?

Yeah, hilarious. Because so many coaches are winning national championships these days.

He’s not which means we have a whole new line of Aggie jokes coming in the future.

If Bert collected $30 million my cat must be good for $5m.

Because that is the size rock you put on your brides hand. It scares people off when your not around to protect her. We basically gave Ed a promise ring.

Look at us, look at Tennessee. When you make a good enough hire, you’ll end up wasting money buying them out their contract later. Michigan, Alabama, and Texas A&M have committed to their guys.

His name will not be popping up into anymore coaching vacancies.

Because these schools make more than enough money to cover these costs.

With coaches and assistants and all that jazz they'll be paying 8 figures to the football staff this coming year. But they have billions in their pocket that they arent afraid to spend. Plus they'll make every single cent back plus some on the various revenue streams of the football world.
