The last coach to get hired away from TAMU for a "better job" was Bear Bryant. Coaches don't get stolen from us. We fire them or they retire.

LOL. The only two head coaches that we have fired in recent years to not hang around anyway were Fran ad Sumlin. Sherrill, Stallings and RC are still around. Bellard hung around until he died, if I'm not mistaken. (I might be missing one, wasn't Wilson in there after Bellard for a couple of years?)

ETA: Stallings and Sherrill went onto coach at other programs but came back to hang around. later.

---

OK, but even with folks like RC they weren't stolen by other programs. That was kinda my point. We aren't some stepping stone program like Baylor.

Jimbo loves Texas A&M

How do we know this for sure?

Love is a funny thing, you just know.

Love, exciting and new, come aboard it's expecting you

Sherman.

I'm still not happy that the extension was made here when it was. Any talk about prescience is ex post facto logic. That being said, the extension served the purpose of raising the asking price from 9M to
~11M per year (based on the current extension equating to ~20% raise).

And there will be no buy-out. Coach O will be officially fired for cause relating to the Title IX suits. That will be their narrative and they will challenge him to prove them wrong.

I think you go after Penn State's coach, then if not you snag Aranda.

Vandy to Penn State to LSU is not a logical progression.

Joe Brady would be an incredibly risky hire. He was a grad assistant only five years ago. Running a program like LSU is very challenging. He might do great but more likely to fail due to lack of experience.

Jimbo has a 90 million fully guaranteed contract. LSU would have to offer in the range of 10 years 100 million + Ed 0's buyout. Keep in mind LSU lost 85 million last year. Reporters throw around financial terms without any real knowledge of what athletic departments can and can't do

Jimbo just took down the number one team in the country and the number one coach in the history of this sport in front of 106,000 fans and 7 million at home all while making 9 million a year in a state where his ranch is and family is. GTFO here with that nonsense. Jimbo is here, and is here to stay possibly till he retires. Jimbo loves Texas A&M and Texas A&M loves Jimbo. Period.

1988 called. They want their CFB coaching logic back.

My bad. I tried to put the Sherman years out of my mind. Thanks for the correction.

If they were smart, Aranda would be no1

Hell want out of Baylor before 25 and if he keeps the train rolling he'll get a better job in a year or 2.

He'd do wonders to revitalize the defense at LSU, and hire a competent OC

Unlikely. LSU has been on notice of this for a while and hasn't acted. What's changed? Ahh, their record. Yeah, they will have to buy him out.

Also gets problematical with the NCAA citing his transgressions as a firing for cause.

So the buy out on Ed O, then LSU would have to pay the buy out to A&M to get Jimbo correct? We just redid his contract for another 10 years. LSU is not that flush.

---

If I'm not mistaken, I think I read somewhere that we do not have a buyout clause in Jimbo's contract.

Agree. They were a bunch of fools to let Aranda walk in the first place.

Jimbo for sure will get the call but would he accept it? There really isn't a ton of pressure on Jimbo here we just gave a big raise and extension. LSU is looking to fire a coach that won a Natty 2 years ago. If Jimbo isn't at a playoff level in year 3 I bet he is on a hot seat at LSU.

Coach Yaw-Yaw is just one motorcycle crash away from being fired.

The last one before him was D. X. Bible, and the list gets real thin real fast after that.

I mean, that sounds all well and good, especially for a young up and comer for whom LSU is their shot at a premier program, but this certainly doesnt sound like something you do right before trying to convince coaches that are already at other premier programs to make the lateral move. Why would Jimbo Fisher (as just a crazy example) leave his cushy job for your cushy job where you just used every technicality in the book to **** over the last guy?

---

And with the NCAA looking to impose some sanctions? LSU is going to be a rebuild either way but trying to rebuild with schollie restrictions among other things? Not an ideal situation that most any established coach would want to take on.

This was his last contract. Not sure what was in his extension but it looks like he owes nothing:

Nobody is leaving penn state for LSU.

There is no chance of Jimbo leaving for LSU. It's not even worth discussing.

Thamel is a mouth-breathing idiot.

When it comes to Aggie football, I no longer speak in "absolutes" (ie. t.u. won't join the SEC, A&M won't beat Bama, etc); the above-mentioned reasons why Jimbo wouldn't leave A&M are all very logical & convincing, but stranger things have happened. FWIW, I sure hope Jimbo doesn't leave, despite what many dumbasses wrote about him just last week, on this very forum AND in the national media (ie. "The 90 Million Dollar Man").

LSU misses Aranda as OC (he pushed peferction out of Burrows and the WRs corp)....if he continues to do well at BU, he'll climb up some charts.

LSU is easier to recruit...LA HS kids will pick LSU at a very high clip....on a per capita basis, more talent comes LA than any other state. It's the reason coaches go to LSU as talent isn't difficult to recruit (they don't need a $10M coach for that as even Coach O is recruiting well).

They need development and LSU staff has turned over a ton as those coaches have been poached.

Aranda was DC. Joe Brady was OC when Burrows was there.
