With the insane "must have a 4-5 year contract" rules of modern CFB, his buyout will always be $40-50M min. We ain't paying that.


In that case, the program will die with this contract. I just can't believe he'd bring this proposal to TAF with a straight face.

The only sales pitch of Jimbo is that we should have a decent floor. That's it. Our ceiling is severely capped


Anyone can win a NC here, so you're saying with Jimbo I get that + high floor?

I'll head down to College Station and help Jimbo pack. What more do people want?

Same with Aranda and his alleged inability to recruit.


LSU fans: this school recruits itself we have a monopoly on in state talent
Also lsu fans: we need a cruiter

People act like recruiting is fricking rocket science when really the true key to it is just winning

If your argument for hiring the most expensive HC in CFB history starts with this, then it's not a good one.

Why couldn't he make TAMU elite and what's different at LSU?




I don't think Texas A&M can be elite. Their last NC was in 1939.

If you're smack dab in the middle of TX and have one NC in the last 100 years, there is some degree of competitive disadvantage that is deeply seeded in the program.

Prior to Nick we were on quite a drought too..An investment in facilities and a good coach put us over the hump. Why do people want to act like we’ve been a blue blood since the start of CFB?

Jimbo hasn’t been able to do that at A&M

It's a great one actually. You will win a NC, maybe more. No other school will come get him at that price. And he has a floor that will get him into the expanded playoffs almost every single year.

I doubt he is coming here, but please, indulge me. Why do you think thats his floor? He has had 1 year worthy of that “floor” at a&m.

Well it’s a 0 risk hire for Scott. If he takes a chance on someone and it misses he fricked with their money and he’ll never be LSU president

He gets there guy and it fails…well hey guys I got you the coach you wanted, it’s on you

Jimbo has only completed 3 years at A&M and has finished 2nd in the West 2x.

If 2 retards can win NC at LSU you think one who already has 1 can’t?

Lets just use his record, at an SEC school similar to lsu.
He went:
9-4
8-5
9-1

Thats exactly 1 year of “an expanded playoff team”

Yeah, he is a joe burrow away from a title!

And what we know for certain is that after 4 years there, he will have assembled 0 championship quality teams. Doesnt seem like a guy woodward is about to drop 10 mil a year on

Are we A&M?

Why is everyone dead set on comparing us to A&M all of a sudden? They are a tier below LSU.

I would be absolutely floored if the powers that be are telling Scott, "Jimbo is the guy". Mainly because I'm naive and if you're giving out a record contract, its hard for me to believe that's your target. I'm that naive to this type of sure stupidity.

Of course, if I was A&M I'd be ecstatic they got that ridiculous contract off my back. A&M isn't some also-ran. They have money and facilities to bring in a decent coach to duplicate the crap Jimbo has served them so far.
