I heard his buyout right now is something like $95 million. He will last quite awhile.

Are you kidding me?! $95 million dollars? Whyyyyyy

 

[BigSteve09]

I’m certainly not defending Jimbo but that class is a bunch of True Freshman.

word out of College Station is that a bunch of those kids are talking about leaving if A&M's season goes down the drain.

We stay in Townsend every time we visit. Love it!

I'm about 10mins from there. Go a couple times a month.

Josh Pate:

The Florida Tennessee game is going to be a knife fight. I don't care that Florida just lost a game, it's going to be an all-out knife fight. It's gonna be about as bright a spotlight as has been on that game in some years, and I'm very much looking forward to that one.

Tennessee went into Heinz field and beat Pitt. You needed to watch this one, you needed to see it. Because it sounds like there was a nice back-and-forth affair, and then Tennessee out-executed Pitt in the end, and that is NOT how it played out. Tennessee was BAD offensively, Tennessee was BAD on special teams... and they won the game anyway.

I am mildly surprised that they did it, but they did it via a method that they could not have done it with last year. Write this headline: Defense Won Tennessee a Game. How about that? They talked about their depth, they talked about how much better they were. Josh Heupel said, "you'll see." I don't think this is how he wanted you to see it, but we did see. So hats off there.

There were self-inflicted wounds all over the place. I don't how many ways you can try to give away a game. Just go watch this game and count them, because Tennessee explored ever single one of them. Hendon Hooker was off. There were critical drops. There were all kinds of different ways that you could try to lose a game. They still won it.

If you looked at all the ways that Tennessee committed self-inflicted wounds in this game. If you showed me that list before this game, I would have thought that Pitt was gonna win by 3 scores. So the fact that Tennessee still won the game is kind of mind-boggling to me. But they did, they won anyway.

The Pitt run game was held in check. They had a 76 yard run. One long run of 76 but PItt ran the ball like 65 yards the rest of the game. So Tennessee's defensive front held up, Tennessee's defense owned the line of scrimmage. They had like two dozen quarterback hurries. Kedon Slovis was knocked out of the game, so you had the backup in for Pitt.

It comes down to how many different ways can you win, and I know at some point in the season, or at least I think, I think that at some point Tennessee will be able to win a game offensively. I think there's gonna be a time that Josh Heupel looks at his offense and says "go win it for me." I think there will be times this year that special teams are a strength for Tennessee. In the meantime, if it took that kind of performance for me to figure out that they can win a game defensively then they're gonna be all the much better for that.

I know it was ugly yesterday but are there really ugly wins for Tennessee right now? Considering everything that they've gone through? I don't think so. Pitt is a good team.

I am excited to see Tennessee, in an ugly game, be able to do what they did.

He already had talent on that team. This big recruiting haul was suppose to be icing on the cake for him. Jimbo will not last.

Idk, if they're dumb enough to give him a $100mil buyout, they're probably dumb enough to pay it. . . especially if he keeps embarrasing them like he has.

 

[SweetasSoda]

It's been like 7 years (?)

Fans like it. Recruits probably like it. Looks AMAZING on tv and from up above.

Jmo but freakin love it.

That is perfection!

 

[Weezer]

Better yet, 1/2 with shirts off, 1/2 with pants off!

 

[tnvols72]

Rockwood. Tons to do.

honestly Farragut maybe? shop at turkey creek, eat at seasons.

I will need you to explain this. This has to be satire

 

[SweetasSoda]

I know this is a VN member. Who is it?

That doesn’t look anything like me.

But acts just like me.

Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher's contract buyout largest in college history

certainly less than that now, but not by much ... "It will not drop below $50 million until 2027. "


That's an insane amount of unearned confidence. If I was him I'd reinforce any 2nd floor+ windows....

 

[tnvols72]

Not if he keeps getting beat. They knew the risk or maybe they didnt

So we are no closer to knowing who this VN member is?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Hey, look, I went to school in Boulder. There are some kind hippies. Some good folks. They're weird, but they aren't all bad.

I was just trying to be funny. I don’t think I actually know anyone that would be considered a hippie so I will take your word for it.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Know a lot of hippies, many of them also rednecks.

Kinda like a Chris Ledoux song.

Redneck hippie? That might be a bit much lol.

 

[Weezer]

He already had talent on that team. This big recruiting haul was suppose to be icing on the cake for him. Jimbo will not last.

His problem is no QB. They signed a 5* QB last class, but most coaches don't like playing a true freshman QB. Haynes King isn't going to cut it. He needs to move on.

 

[SweetasSoda]

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yep...I was once far more liberal than I am now. I was a long haired country boy hippie redneck when I was young.

So you were a bit much?

Thanks!

Is he willing to make that move? If he waits until they are 3 or whatever then why use the kids redshirt to try and end up 6-6. He is in a tough spot

 

[UTProf]

TAMU has a history of poaching coaches from other schools. They're not terribly different from Texas with regard to throwing money around to get their way on things. They were just foolish enough to lock themselves down with a buyout that's sky high but Jimbo isn't robbing them. This is the kind of thing that eventually catches up to you when you throw money around recklessly. They have a lot and they like everyone to know it.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Idk, if they're dumb enough to give him a $100mil buyout, they're probably dumb enough to pay it. . . especially if he keeps embarrasing them like he has.

I think it wasn’t initially that much but I believe he hit an extension last year that put his buyout wayyyy up there.

 

[drvenner]

Remember when Narduzzi made the dumbest challenge I've ever seen after watching the replay on the jumbotron that clearly showed his DB pushing Bru out of bounds and his response was, "I didn't think he pushed him out of bounds."?

Seriously, how dumb was that? The DB clearly had his hands on Bru, yet Narduzzi somehow thought he'd win that challenge? Straight up moron.

I think he still legit thinks he's right. Dudes like him can never admit they were wrong.
