“Lane Kiffin seems very happy where he is,” Finebaum said on The Matt Barrie Show. “Does he want to deal with all that? I mean, he’s already coached for the Raiders where you have an ego maniacal owner. He’s coached at Southern Cal, which is as tough as it gets … There may be something out there for Lincoln, but it’s not there.”

“The only name you people keep throwing up is Mike Elko but like, I mean, that would be a really big risk,” Finebaum said.

“I don’t care how good a coach he is. But to put him in that environment with Texas coming into the SEC, I mean, they have a serious problem at A&M. I’m stating the obvious here. I’ll try not to do that. They’ve got to figure this out. “And they really, (Jimbo) has no more real estate to change anyone’s mind. I mean, the only game left on the schedule that matters is at LSU on the final weekend, and beating a three-loss LSU team is not going to change anyone’s mind.”

Can we discuss how easy Paul's job is. He gets paid to make the same obvious prediction about coaching changes that TD posters do.

POTUS2024•26 months

Jimbo is getting a gazillion dollars, guaranteed. This was one of the dumbest contracts ever for a school.

CrystalPreserves•26 months

BK got one just like Jimbo.

ctiger69•26 months

Should have just kept Sumlin.

Play_Neck•26 months

Despite him being a drunk, I think the kids liked playing for Sumlin more.

I think Flordia's coach sealed his fate last weekend

Smokeys Howl•26 months

nah, they can't get rid of Billy yet.

Funny.

GaryGator•26 months

He ain't going anywhere, before the end of next season, if that.

cypresstiger•26 months

Sumlin had Heisman winner Johnny Football

bostitch•26 months

And Jimbo has one of the highest, if not the highest, paid rosters in football

AllenTXTiger•26 months

Why is this a Sumlin / Fisher only comparison all the time? I'm trying not to read between the lines... but some of you are so obvious with your undertones.

There were other predecessors to Jimbo Fisher, like Mike Sherman, Dennis Franchione, R. C. Slocum, and Jackie Sherrill, etc.

deltaland•26 months

Sumlin was fired and replace by jimbo is why the comparison is used

FLTech•26 months

Why are we endlessly forced to endure this ugly lizard frick? PAWL brings absolutely nothing to the table.

Tchefuncte Tiger•26 months

Going on on a dangerous limb there, Pawl!

cctiger60•26 months

just think about all the idiot that wanted Jimmie bo in BTR

MSUDawg98•26 months

Start the Fisher to Starkville rumors. There's no chance in hell Arnett keeps his job. They were smart with the contract and the buyout after offsets will be under 7 figures...pocket change.

MSU44•26 months

frick that

CanebreakCajun•26 months

If they fire him, CBK needs to get DJ Durkin on the phone 3 seconds later.

Kajuncook•26 months

If you wanna play with the big dogs, you will get bitten.
Ouch!!!

It's a done deal, so is Aranda

double d•26 months

Aranda's buyout is too costly, he'll get one more year sadly.

sportjunkie69•26 months

LSU should pay Arandas buyout. Need him back in P&G ASAP.
