Hopefully we go 2-1 to finish the season, not 1-2. But if we did go 1-2, the last two times the Ags went 4-8 were…

- 2003, Fran's first season
- 2008, Sherm's first season

For perspective…
- Fran was fired after going 7-6 in his 5th season
- Sherm was fired after going 7-6 in his 4th season

Discuss…?

If we go 1-2 over the next 3 games, y'all are going to see just how rich we really are.

First off you assume we beat Mass. I think that's a bad idea. This same team had 300+ yards in the first half today and zero in the third qtr. let that sink in.

They get trounced at Auburn and then get schlacked vs LSU. Beating Mass makes what better?

Jimbo and Woodward are laughing all the way to the bank.

Nothing happens to Jimbo.

so the question...

how big of a 1-year turnaround can Jimbo put together?

can the Ags go from 4-8/5-7 to 9-3/10-2 in one year?

Hope you a right. If we can do that, that will make about as big of a statement as hiring Jimbo was in the first place.

With Jimbo still too involved in the offense? No

But we didn't mortgage the entire university on Fran or Sherman !

It really doesn't matter. What makes anybody believe our brain trust has the grey matter to FINALLY make 1 good HC choice in the past 33 years of trying?

Firing Sherrill has put a curse on this program...shoulda stuck by the best coach we ever had.

Sherrill left to help avoid NCAA investigations: I do miss the man. How/ when Sherman got relieved (while on a recruiting visit): that was classless by the A&M admin & athletic dept. That's karma that lead to our HCs after Sherman...

I'll give Jimbo a very small glimmer of a chance: he can turn this around if he swallows some humble pie and a) truly overhauls his coaching staff w/ good coaches (not puppets to Jimbo) b) get nothing less than 9+ win seasons by '23/'24, and c) SEC Championship '25. Unfortunately, the likelihood of this happening is low...

Year 5, #1 recruiting class, 4-8, the head coach and his entire inept staff should be fired.

Paying 90 million to buy out Jimbo would become the new definition of stupid rich.
Fight against the dictatorship of the federal bureaucracy!

I think we easily beat UMass. I think Auburn will be a struggle, but it can be done with Connor at QB. I think LSU is our Bowl game. We beat them and it will make this dismal season bearable with some hope for the future.

I love the fact that some of you post that while we couldn't beat App State, we are going to sail past LSU.

Highly unlikely we fire Jimbo due to the buyout, but I don't think it will make the statement you think it will if it occurred. The narrative will NOT be positive. It will be about how incompetent Aggie hiring has been. It will be about how the University and its donors have priorities out of whack. I could see a liot of non sports national media coverage on how A&M is wasting almost $100 milllion paying a coach to NOT coach rather than spending on academics or keeping tuition costs in check. It could spur a national conversion on the excess of college sports. I think it would put Aggie football and the University in a bad light (versus your assumed narrative of how dedicated we are to winning).

Frans buyout + Sherman's buyout <<<<<<< Jimbos buyout.

Aren't we still paying Sumlin?

Fire _J _urkin plus anyone else that coaches anywhere near the LOS.

No truer words spoken. If money's not a factor, then…?

I'm waiting to see how it plays out. But, if Fisher is shown the door and is handed $85 million (a thought that is disgusting on its face), I have zero confidence in our ability to hire the right guy and below zero confidence that the contract terms will be reasonable. I hope Fisher can win out and keep the team intact to avoid seeing the clown show that will ensue.

What do you mean if, its going to happen. Aggies only win is to UMass and even that game will be highly contested.

Jimbo is Fran and Sherman in reverse, so he shouldn't be here next season
