re: Has There Ever Been A more over rated and over paid coach than Jimbo Fisher?

"LSU athletic director Scott Woodward signed Orgeron to a six-year, $42 million extension in January 2020. The contract included a $6 million base salary and a $5 million life insurance policy split over the first two years of the deal. Woodward, who did not hire Orgeron, was named LSU's athletic director in April 2019.Oct 17, 2021"

"No. 6 Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher have agreed on a new contract extension that will keep the national championship-winning coach in College Station through the 2031 season. The new, more lucrative deal will pay Fisher nearly $95 million over the next 10 years -- about 25% more than he was making. He'll start by earning $9 million during the 2022 calendar year, then $9.15 million in 2023. Beyond that, he'll earn $100,000 raises every year for the life of the contract -- which is fully guaranteed, according to The Athletic's Sam Khan.

The deal pushes Fisher past LSU coach Ed Orgeron to the second-highest paid coach in college football. Only Nick Saban earns more.

"The investment Texas A&M University is making in our program, coaching staff and facilities speaks to the vision of our leadership and their commitment to long-term success," Fisher said in a statement. "It is an honor to be the head football coach at Texas A&M and although I am proud of the strides we've made, we ain't done yet!"

The new deal replaces the previous 10-year, $75 million contract that the school gave to Fisher upon hiring him in 2018. Now in his fourth year, Fisher is is 26-10 overall with a 17-8 record in the SEC, but that includes a 9-1 showing in 2020 that put the Aggies on the brink of a College Football Playoff berth. A&M finished fifth in the final CFP rankings, one spot behind Notre Dame, and defeated North Carolina in the Orange Bowl.

Miles was several notches above Jimbo. He delivered us 1 natty and missed a second by a hair. And we had consistent 10 win seasons for the most part.

Kirk Ferentz at Iowa comes to mind. He’s been there 23 years and just signed a 49 million dollar extension.
He’s won 2 big 10 titles and none in 19 years. Expectations are different but he’s averaged 5 million over the past 6 years and will earn 7 million per over the next 7. Tons of money to expect to go 7-5 every year.

And Ferentz just lost to Iowa State, again.

The man brought us a National Championship... Did it end well for him, no. But some of you just can not let it go. LET IT GO!!!!

But it's perfectly normal to be obsessed with a rival coach who hasn't worked here in almost two decades.

Agreed, Curly Hallman is the absolute worst anywhere I know of! So dimbo fisher must be next in line. Thank u AD Woodward for saddling the A&M with a horrorable for the next 10 years!
Geaux fighting tigers

Jimbo is like most coaches. He can win with a Heisman caliber QB. Only coaches I’ve seen win at a high level with average QB play are Saban, Miles and Kirby.
