Texas A&M fires Jimbo Fisher / hiring Mike Elko ?

[orangenauburn]

Man I know it'd never happen but that guy, that guy would make things entertaining for a while.

If we are going to be a middling program, might as well have fun doing so

 

[PAcuse]

Pioneer Natural Resources is getting bought in Texas for like $35 billion so another potential pipeline for A&M nuts to jump more money on that dumpster fire.

 

[orangecuse]

He's 20 games over .500 and getting fired. And Dino is what? Shows what a different world we live in.

And, if we are being completely honest, really have no business participating in any longer. It's as if we are a AAA team (if even that) trying to make a go of it in the Major Leagues. Unfortunately, we are completely out our own league nowadays.

Jimbo is overrated and definitely overpaid. He won a national championship thanks to what Bobby Bowden left. When Jimbo left FSU he left the cupboard empty. They are only now recovering from Jimbo.

Moves Jimbo to number 1 on the “ Who would you want to take over for Dino list”
Crazy thinking, but he won’t need much of a salary unless A&M has some kind of clause in his contract that wipes out some of the buyout if he takes a new gig.

like divorce agreements?! Ha, likely.

 

[Ringostar57]

Dropping a million for them is like a penny falling out of your pocket. LMAO Jimbo gets Bjorked!

Why work for money you already have...when you don't need to.

 

[Dr. Bill]

Syracuse is crying about a 10 million buy out if they fire Dino!!! Just goest to show you how broke Syracuse is realative to a lot of these schools fans want us to compete with.

Obviously most wouldn’t, but some guys just love to work

 

[skeeter223]

I NEED Lane Kiffin at Texas A&M like I need air to breathe

That would have them moving from "unlikeable" to "despicable".

 

[Millhouse]

I guess aTm isn’t terrified of the media being mean about their decision.

If this is a ploy to get me to listen to idiot espn talking heads, I'm not taking the bait

But it will be pointed out that sumlin was better than Fisher

You are very obsessed with race.

*edit* Actually, you are very obsessed with potential conversations that may invoke race.

They all have offsets.

 

[Crusty]

So, one Texas billionaire got up this morning and said screw it get rid of him.

 

[OburgOrange]

Nice pension

 

[OburgOrange]

No offset. Let’s get him!!

 

[tbonezone]

it's red lobster week. jumbo shrimper.

I am just a little more aware of ESPN I guess

He might have been decent years ago, but he has been God awful for a very long time. The guy is one lucky bubba

 

[MadNY3]

Surprised Dabo Swinney isn’t on the list.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Nice pension

He can golf every day with Bobby Bonilla.

Pro tip: if you don’t watch ESPN for anything but games, you’ll have no clue about any of these potential discussions you’re scared of that don’t have any impact on anything anywhere.

Yeah, how much of that buyout does he owe to Jameis Winston?

 

[sufandu]

I wonder if his reluctance to use the portal makes him less desirable. It seems to be hurting him at Clemson and certainly would slow a turnaround at a new place.

The $76 million buy out is a pretty good indication
