failing to perform the duties of his job at an acceptable level. No different than anyone else being terminated based on performance.

If we had any balls we would've set him up to be fired for cause like they did at Mich St. But we're too busy being the nice guys.

You talking about calling in Tom Hagen for a Senator Geary scenario?

Jimbo was going to ensure that would not happen. During the 5-7 season, I have no doubt his agent talked to him telling him to not make any mistakes in that area. At the end of that season was when he started talking about him following the transfer portal rules to the letter.

Why is everyone so worried about the buyout?

It's a great opportunity for our idiot decision makers to learn their lesson


They won't of course, but the opportunity was there

Have you ever taken 5 minutes to read a coaching contract? Rather than taking more minutes than that posting drivel?

OP.

No. They're is nothing in the contract that we could do that about the buyout. We're 12 days, hell the first payment is due in 8 days... And people are still asking this. NO.

That original contact, which the extension was based on, was written by Scott Woodard to lure Jimbo away from FSU. Even at the extension, that was based on the original document. No one was going to be able to change it.

"Cause" isn't " 'Cause we thought you were good at coaching football and now we think you suck." 'Cause Jimbo had a lawyer and an agent, and 'cause both would be smart enough to figure out that no one would ever pay a buyout if being pissed about bad records was cause.

We signed a contract. Fisher didn't work out. He worked his butt off for us. We made this horrible contract. We owe it to him. Want to blame someone look at John sharp. Not honorable and unethical as sh!? To try to snake out of this contract

People that got paid kickbacks for signing the contract signed it and then people in the A&M press that got paid kickbacks to promote it started promoting it.

No we

Is there a reason for "firing with cause" when the QB breaks a rib against USC and then you play him in the next game where he breaks 2 more?

Come on, you think the AD missed a detail that could have saved them $76 million?

We were likely 1 or 2 seasons away from winning big under Fisher. But now we get to start all over.

No we weren't. Unless he has a complete and total attitude adjustment, Fisher will never have success as a HC again. Refusal to change what you're doing despite an overwhelming abundance of evidence showing you that it isn't working is a recipe for disaster.

Jimbo didn't learn anything here other than how to cash large checks. Craig is probably the only coach that wants to work with him.

LoL. I hope that is satire.

The guy wouldn't even make a second half game adjustment, but somehow he was just about to make a complete offensive philosophy adjustment?

For the last time. A&M is not paying the money. Donors are paying.

Should have promoted him to chief recruiting executive and kept him on staff….just not as head coach

If we had let him walk to LSU 3 years ago he would have recruited a lot of players there, perhaps even fared better and we would be forever complaining about what could have been.

Nothing wrong with that contract, sharp and others are idiots for green lighting it.

Bjork went out of his way to say this isn't the case and he wouldn't approach donors to do this.
