Would you trade a movie scene with A. Baldwin for a single national championship?


Let's go Brandon!

Answer to OP: No, because I think Jimbo can win multiple NCs.

Also, Jimbo being here equals program elevation. After Jimbo Freakin' Fisher is done here, we should be considered a top job and be able to attract other top coaches.

In other words, Jimbo being here, I believe, promotes looooong-term success.

Impossible. He is our national championship. How do you trade a natty for a natty?

A. Easy.

It's funny all the posts about winning 10 games every year when he's yet to win 10 games in a season here.

The question was asked this year so I doubt it is retroactive.

Interesting question.

I think ANYONE who wouldn't take the Natty over Jimbo doesn't understand the legacy of Aggie football.

If my lifetime I would be thankful to have a single natty.

Most Ags have died without witnessing one for reference.

Mid-50's and it's "B" all the way. Jimbo's the guy , although I'd prefer to make Elko a rich man, too.

I've spent a lot of years watching Aggie football without a lot to realistically look forward to in the off season. Every year, it was "Man, I hope we have a good team this year", and "I hope they can string together a few wins" and "wow, wouldn't it be great if they get ranked this year?" And on and on. It gets old.

This past year, it was "I think we'll have a great team this year", "I think they've got a good shot against Bama", and "I think they have the talent to run the table, just need a little luck to go with it". Coaching is solid and the team has more talent than any team in the past.

Football isn't my life, but my life sure seems more full when the Aggies are playing well on the field. A single one-and-done Natty would be great, but with t.u. and OU coming to the SEC soon, it's a horrible time to enter the coaching carousel. The wrong choice could decimate us.

I'd take 10 years of really fun football with the Aggies finally being "in the conversation" every year rather than having a single great year and then going back to where we've been.

The "winning 10 games" is based on the assumption of a 12-game season + bowl game, which is a 77% win percentage. With a 9-1 record, I'd give the Aggies honorary 10-win credit for last year.

Lol ... I think the persons age needs to be with the response. Have a feeling the older the poster the higher probability of an "A" answer.

Since I'm solidly in my 50's .... A, lol
Definitely think you have a point. Solidly in my 40's, and I'll go with B.

In my 30s, and I'll personally drive Jimbo to Baton Rouge. A, 100%

Missed the point. Why presume he will 10 going forward every year when he hasn't done it yet?

Sp, it's a dull day at work, and I was thinking about how much I'd give up for A&M to win just one football title in my lifetime. Choose either option A or B:

A. Win the national championship at the end of this season, BUT lose Jimbo to LSU

B. NOT win a title this season and keep Jimbo for the remainder of his career, with a possibility that he coaches us to a title (or two or three) in the future

(I know we could both not win a title AND lose Jimbo, but play along if you want to humor an old Ag)

Don't you have to study, write a term paper, something to do besides ask stupid questions like this??!!

Correct answer is trade Jimbo for NC. No guarantees out there but if this were one, we'd take it in a hearbeat. How about we win a NC if you become celibate for the remainder of your days?

B. Jimbo will win more than one title so why stop at just one?
Harry Dunne

A. 100% without hesitation.

The odds are against Jimbo winning one national championship here. I don't know what kind of odds Vegas would give you of him winning 2, but I suspect they would be lottery-like.

The whole goal is to win a championship and we haven't in 80 years. I don't GAF who the coach is, I just want to win a championship. The coach could be your mom and I would be equally happy.

I would trade Jimbo plus every other sport on campus for a championship.

No. Just because the way he recruits we will have multiple
Chances throughout the rest of his career here. I'd prefer A chance at several . His replacement would be a total crapshoot.

He's not leaving anyway but I suppose it's fun to discuss the hypothetical .

I don't care if his replacement is Carl Torbush, I'd still pick A.

If he has a 5% chance of winning it each of his 10 years, he has a 40% chance of doing it at least once.

A. But only if we get Dabo to replace Jimbo.
