You really think aTm is going to pony up $80+ million for Jimbo to go away? That is 4x more than any school (Auburn) has ever paid to buyout. I don’t know if anyone wants to have that label. Maybe they think it would be worth it, I don’t know. I do know theyre in a helluva lot of trouble right now, especially w/ Texas gaining momentum and getting ready to join the League.Jimbo out at A&M. Kiffin to A&M.
Freeze to Auburn.
Lebby to Ole Miss.
Get your popcorn ready.
With the A&M/Jimbo situation, people are conflating "has the money to fire him" with "will spend the money to fire him."Only possibility on your list is Jimbo being fired and I doubt that's going to happen.
That’s assuming they couldn’t negotiate a lower buy out. He may want out as well.You really think aTm is going to pony up $80+ million for Jimbo to go away?

I do think Freeze goes to Auburn. Hell, he’s been publicly lobbying for that job. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised to see Lebby on our sidelines if Golesh gets the right opportunity.
Well its 80 million to fire a guy. I am betting another 5 million to get rid of his staff. Then you have to hire the new guy. They are probably spending at least 50 million in that. Maybe 8, 8.5 a year, plus his buyout. Plus his staff.With the A&M/Jimbo situation, people are conflating "has the money to fire him" with "will spend the money to fire him."
Just because you have to money to do something doesn't mean you'll actually spend the money to do it.
Don’t forget that Santa Claus is coming too.
Oh ho ho ho!!!
I think A&M has to. If they don't get the right guy in now, they are down for many years to come...especially with Texas and OK coming into the league. It will profit them for years to come if they get rid of Jimbo now. Jimbo is out. Kiffin is the perfect fit at A&M. Lebby will get out of OK and get to Ole Miss for that HC job.
