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

[NineOneSeven]

And he would be owed… *checks notes*… roughly $76,000,000.

Pardon me, what are we doing here?

Well, they’re an insane outlier the other way, but yes kinda funny how different the pots of gold are.

I mean we in general. 76 million?!?

So….


He wouldn’t need brinks breaking figures at his next stop?

Oil money is awesome.

I will always remember meeting a visiting LSU fan in 2015 and i asked him what brought him to Syracuse of all places for a road game

“Son i haven’t worked since I got home from Korea. I took my GI check, bought a bunch of land, and low and behold we struck oil. I haven’t missed an LSU game since”

- i know this is A&M we’re talking about — but money does not apply to certain schools

I think a low stress reclamation project is right up his alley.

Always liked Jimbo.

Headline on their site. $76 million buyout.

How unutterably stupid. Love the game, hate the jackholes ruining it.

Exactly what we need in Cuse, some WV blood and southern comfort

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.

We could pretend we paid him $10M per year for 7 years!

It’s just insanity. His children could never work a day because he failed at a job.

Plenty of others also

I work in the cybersecurity world. I have watched CISO's destroy the company and fail up to a bigger company because of how much money they saved the company... by destroying their cybersecurity functionality. One day I hope to fail enough to get a golden parachute.

What a waste of money, shame on the boosters who pony up this

Nobody in college football gets less of a return on their investment than A&M.

Monopoly money for those dopes

Wish I was a dope

 

[Hoo's That]

And, on top of all that, next year what they thought they had escaped happens.

 

[Scooch]

It’s just insanity. His children could never work a day because he failed at a job.

The true insanity is that it’s likely the children of billionaires who have never had to work a day in their life who are buying out Jimbo’s contact .

 

[Stern]

Rumor is they may throw a boatload of money at Deion to come. Who knows how true that is really but wouldn't shock me.

If they do that then they truly do have stupid money.
