Well at least Fran was cost-efficient. Even after adjusting his salary for inflation, Fran got paid less than half of what Jimbo gets paid per win.

We're nowhere near Fran territory (at this time...).

Jimbo is at least capable of translating insane NIL funding into rafts of incoming talent, so we're not an entire coach's tenure separated from relevance.

I think Fran's buyout was only $4 MM after he was fired

Pretty sure we were only paying Fran $37.49 and a Diet Coke a game…

Woodward's contract and Bdork's contract extension should be classic case studies of items and circumstances to avoid for all want to be ADs.

Don't know. Frans defenses were so bad even this Jimbo offense would light them up

When tu smokes us at Kyle next year you all will realize that Fran is 10x the coach that Jumbo is. Jumbo is a joke.

Fran devastated this program. Jimbo can't figure out how to get over the hump and win, but there is still a lot of positives surrounding the program.

Jimbo…. and it's not even close.

When Fran arrived on campus he, at the very least, believed in his system and believed it would work at A&M. Clearly he was wrong.

Jimbo arrived in Aggieland knowing he was a has-been or a never-was they got lucky one season with a once in a lifetime talent in Winston. Ed O did the same with Burrows. Jimbo knew he'd never live up to what we were asking of him but he took the money anyway and ran with it.

Jimbo is a common con-artist.

Coach Fran is absolutely the biggest fraud I've ever seen. Jimbo is a disappointment at the moment, but it's not on Coach Fran level. Kim's Corner! Ok I have to stop. Utah with Torbush and "wow." So much sad from those days.

Recruiting w/ NIL support (for now), facilities are positives. Free education at a great university is usually a positive but that doesn't have much impact to the players (especially the scholarship players - LOL!). Fan base is fairly loyal - except to overpaid, underperforming head coaches...LOL!
