Oh wait, that’s right, he’s never even been a DC.

Lester didn't whip anyone. He's the biggest joke on this site at this point.

Why do you name coaches that are unattainable?

Why would Lincoln Riley leave his situation?

The difference in total salaries for the entire coaching staffs of Texas A&M and LSU is about 3.3 million so roger is full of shite as usual. Texas A&M has more money so they can spend more money. The difference between 0, who’s never won anything, and Jimbo who’s won a national title, been to multiple playoffs and won multiple conference and division titles, is 3.5 million dollars. Jim Harbaugh makes more than Jimbo and has zero titles of any kind, Kirby Smart and Gus Mahlzahn are the next two right behind Jimbo but have zero national titles. So this narrative Roger is pushing that Jimbo is way overpaid is totally false and just another one of his delusions made up to fit his agenda. If you’re not willing to spend championship money on a championship coach then you’re lowering your standards. And that’s exactly what Roger is saying and doing, he won’t admit that and it shouldn’t surprise anyone but that’s what he’s doing.

Well that's not exactly true.

He appointed himself as DC while at OM. The results were not good as you can imagine.

You don't even have a clue which thread I'm talking about.

I don't know if youre legit on the spectrum or just a contrarian.

BTW: We aren't paying Jimbo 8 million to come here either.

I’m not back and reading all the crap in this thread. Do these people think LSU is going to match A&M’s contract with Jimbo?

Those on the extreme nega side of the line think this is their chance to fire Ed, and Hire Jimbo.

Not gonna happen. Jimbo is facing a tough season, will do good to go 9-4, and LSU ain't paying 8 million for that.

Goes to show you how desperate some of these people are.

Jimbo has a bigger task on his hands this year than last. Last year’s team was experienced on defense, had the league’s rushing leader on offense, and Sternberger was a freak juco pick up for them. All of that is gone this year. They were third in the NCAA against the run and 5 of that starting from 7 is gone. Jimbo walked into a ready-made situation last year and the team was good, but nothing special. The hill is taller this season.

Regardless of that, he’s got $67.5 million guaranteed money left at A&M. LSU ain’t paying that.

I think his contract is structured to where he doesn't pay anything if he leaves, which shows how terrible it was for A&M. He gets 67 million now if he's fired though.

quote:

Jimbo Fisher’s 10-year, $75 million contract with Texas A&M is fully guaranteed, making it the richest guarantee ever in one college football coaching deal. It turns out that contract is even better (for Fisher) than we already knew it was. And it was already pretty great!

The Houston Chronicle obtained a copy of Fisher’s full contract. (For at least the first half-year or so of his time at A&M, Fisher had been working under a memorandum of understanding that didn’t spell out the full terms of his agreement with the Aggies.)

Fisher’s full contract reveals an incredible detail. I mean, incredible for Fisher, but also incredible in a different way on Texas A&M’s part.

If Fisher decides to leave College Station for another job before his 10-year deal is up, the team hiring him away will owe the Aggies a total of ....

Wait for it ...

You’re really not going to believe this ...

OK, I’m going to tell you:

Zero dollars and zero cents!

I think Aggy is screwed. A subpar year like he had at FSU, he'll run off somewhere else.

Jimbo is winning 7 games this year so this little situation will take care of itself. When the usual clowns start carrying his jock in December, if any of them have the nerve. Which they're just dense enough to do. They'll be laughed off the board.

He doesn’t pay anything if he leaves. But he leaves $67.5 million guaranteed dollars on the table. Would you walk away from that for anything less?

Oh no. In fact, the way the contract is set up it's in Jimbos best interest to get fired, and soon, pick up another job.

That's how bad it is.

Yeah but if he leaves for another school he doesn’t collect anymore. If he’s fired he collects, if he leaves on his own he gets gets nothing.

Right. He's not leaving on his own for years. No one is going to pay him what he currently makes.

I’m going with 8-4, but we’ll see what happens. This year will provide a better indicator of Jimbo’s leadership than last. His top RB and receiver (TE) departed, but the QB and WRs return. I think they lost only one OL. The defense however has huge turnover and it was their run defense that made A&M a contender last year.

Agreed. LSU would have to pony up at least a similar guarantee (and probably more) to entice him. At this point the guaranteed money left is $67.5 million. That ain’t happening.

I hate this #%#ing thread, just allow the Cajun coach from South La finish the 2019 season. First time since 1955 that LSU has had both a head coach and AD from Louisiana hired on at the same time. Would be electric to see both succeed, Louisiana lightning at LSU.

No, but he won the 2003 AP national championship as the assistant head coach.

ETA: and the 2004 BCS national championship as the assistant head coach.
