10 yrs / 75 million. HUGE buyout I assume. According to Jimbo, his relationship with Woodward was one of the primary reasons he took the job. Could Woodward lure him to LSU? Does Jimbo stay put? What are y'all's thoughts?? Scary situation even if Jimbo stays...

There is no buyout if Jimbo walks.
How does someone like Young or Sharp screw this up???
Well that didn't make me feel better
CNN is an enemy of the state and should be treated as such.
LSU can't pay what we pay for political reasons. Don't worry about Jimbo.
I'm surprised at how many people didn't know that there is zero buyout in the contract.
To answer your question, yes Jimbo could easily follow him to LSU when they let Ed O go in the next year or two.

Jimbo gone if woodward leaves IMHO. We need to do everything we can to keep woodward. Get rid of sharp if he's the problem. Pay him more if he wants more.
hypothetical situation here:
IF Woodward leaves us and takes off for LSU, sure Jimbo has no buyout
However, the main problem I see is that Jimbo has literally all the supporting staff
that he wants with virtually limitless resources. Additionally what are the chances
that LSU could fire Ed O and still manage to make an offer that comes even close
to the offer he has here?
All in all I think we are putting the cart waaaay before the horse

And thats the thinking that will cause Jimbo to leave. You cant undermine other programs and their dedication to winning. Theyll hire who they want. Their education may become more of a dumpster fire, but theyll get who they want
Why do you think he leaves?ajolly said:

Sure Jimbo and Woodward have a great relationship but Jimbo has been given the keys to the kingdom here. If we make the right hire at AD I think it's far from a forgone conclusion that he leaves.

This. Plus the close proximity to Houston for his son's treatments. IIRC, that was another main factor in choosing A&M.
I'm not saying we won't up the ante; I'm just being realistic. If the Woodward decision is about $, we will keep him. If it is not, he is gone.
One non-monetary thing in our favor, we have a university president that Woodward is used to, so I think that is a plus for us.

Might as well let Jimbo hire the AD if I'm being honestYelnick McWawa said:Why do you think he leaves?ajolly said:

Jimbo never once said he came here because of money. Thats really the only thing we can offer him that LSU doesnt have.
He came here because of woodward, and the recruiting. Both of which he could keep by following woodward.

There's a lot more to "money" than just what we put in Jimbo's pocket. I think long term, we have a MUCH higher ceiling than LSU.ajolly said:Yelnick McWawa said:Why do you think he leaves?ajolly said:

History disagrees with you on our ceiling vs LSU's

We can be. But we are not there yet. If Jimbo were to leave tomorrow, it would erase the last 8 years of aggie football.
Do you remember our sport programs before we moved to the SEC? Id like to forget.
If jimbo doesn't care about the money why are we paying him 75 million? Money may not be the only reason jimbo is at A&M but it definitely is a reason.
This thread just got linked. Smells a lot more like batter fried meat now than it did 5 minutes ago.
I hope this backfires on you toothless idiots.

I pray that all this is an attempt by woodward to get PAID. Nothing more. I hope all this sharp talk is bogus.

This. Plus the close proximity to Houston for his son's treatments. IIRC, that was another main factor in choosing A&M.

When did Easterwood close down?
Honestly, unless its to get paid more, or a disagreement between a higher up, I dont understand why woodward would leave. He's made all the hires he was brought here to make, its all easy sailing from here. Maintain the peace and bring in the dough.
A guy like Jimbo wants to be THE legend at a school He couldn't be that at FSU. LSU? They've won multiple NCs and no they don't have a huge legend ( I don't think) but Saban and Miles both coached there.
We have no legend. Nothing close. He does here what we (and he) wants, and he's up there with all the other legends, with the attendant statues and honors.

Looch on twitter saying it's a long shot that we keep Woodward. Says A&M dropped the ball.
Oh no!!! If Woodward leaves and takes Jimbo does this mean that the Aggies won't play football anymore?!?

It's also interesting that talk like this assumes that our (hopefully, someday) football messiah is just a money ***** with no integrity. Unless promises were broken here, why would he leave?
I've always thought this was part of why Fisher came here. Relatively untapped potential and a chance to become a legendary coach that wasn't just following in the footsteps of another legendary coach (Bowden). He seems like a guy who's drive is to achieve that, and put the place he does it on the map.cecil77 said:

I guess we'll find out if that's his motivation or not.
