re: The Athletic breaks down Jimbo's buyout

The rest will be paid out in annual installments of $7.2 million from 2025 through 2031, meaning the Aggies would basically pay two head coaches for the next eight years.

So, hypothetically/probably, the Aggies will sign a coach in a few months and pay him ~$7M annually. They will have one rando 10 win season, extend him with a raise and then average 8 and 4 for the next few years and five years from now they fire him with three years and $25M left on the deal.

Going into 2029, they hire QB guru and alum Kellen Mond for $10M a year for 10 years. In his first year, they then go 6-6 while paying north of $25M for the head coach(s). And a week after suffering their 7th loss of the season in the Texas Bowl to Texas Tech, they have to sit down and write out that second to last $7M to check to Jimbo.

Happy fricking New Years Day 2030 mother frickers.
