Leaving this here as another reminder of outstanding leadership. Never forget.

Houston Chronicle, 2/28/18

Texas A&M chancellor John Sharp to the @HoustonChron on if they had any concern about signing Jimbo Fisher to a 10-year guaranteed contract: "Yes. We couldn't get him to agree to a 15-year deal, so this is the best we got."

Now that's funny. Jimmy Sexton strikes again. And again with the extension.

Same two questions I asked on the thread that got nuked this am. And remember Aggies are honest.

Would you have given Jimbo a raise and contract extension after 202 knowing LSU was after him?

Which cfb coaches of any nite do not have guaranteed salaries?

But shouldn't we, or rather our leadership, have learned a valuable lesson after Franchione and Sumlin?

Yeah, the rube-iest of rube comments.

My sentiment matches what I posted in 2020 - nothing has changed.

"Our athletics program and university are ran by stupid people. It's fairly obvious and has been for a long time. That said, I don't know why people expected any different today. Time to move on."

No, I would not have given a raise or extension, and I said so at the time:

I guess we're continuing the tradition of completely one-sided contracts that leave the athletic department exposed to huge buyouts if things don't work out. Hopefully Jimbo ends the tradition of making us regret doing so. I think Jimbo is a great coach, but his current contract pays him accordingly.

What is the motivation for this? Who are we scared is going to steal our $7.5 million/year coach?

We haven't had a football coach hired away since Bear Bryant went home to mama. Color me skeptical that LSU was a real threat to hire away Jimbo. Jimmy Sexton must love negotiating with our AD.

I've said this numerous times. A&M hands out contracts like drunken sailors.

Jimbo's buyout is double that of Dabo or Saban.
And if he had been willing to leave for a conference rival after one good season with already having $75 million guaranteed on the table, I'm sorry, he can walk. That shows a lack of commitment on his part and a lack of desire to be here.

These coaching contracts should have much smaller base pay, but with really nice incentives for meeting performance objectives, and buyouts should be capped.


Base is $2 mil/yr
Get an extra $100k/$250k per win noncon/SEC win
win a conf championship - $2 mil
win bowl game / NY6 bowl game - $500k / $1 mil
Make the 4 team playoff - $5 mil
Win a NC, get an extra $10mil.

If you have a really nice 10+ win season you should be able to make as much as Jimbo does now. If you win it all, you basically double what he makes per year now.
