For all you Experts on the board screaming for the firing of Jimbo, besides the +$70MM buyout, Have you given any considerations to the fallout? How much money are you willing to put up. I know the answer: $0 to insignificant.

1. Probably the entire staff would be gone too. Maybe a couple need to go anyway.
2. Who are we going to bring in? Name some candidates.
3. There's always players who will go the portal for various reason, but IMO, the roster would likely be decimated and we would have to go to the portal to fill a huge void of players.
4. We can always lose future HS commits too, for a number of reasons, but our current 2024 commit list would drastically change for the worse.

Probably more considerations, and certainly while we are not pleased with the record and performance so far, do do you Experts really want to go down this path and start rebuilding again?

I think we sit tight and review after and into next season

Again, just MO.

This is easy. You fire Jimbo as he walks off he plane. Bobby steps up. Do you really think Bobby was Jimbo's idea? We can't wait until the season is over if we want to keep the players we have and this class.

I want Jimbo gone but I do have a concern about who we would hire. Many on this board think we just grab Lanning or Elko. I don't think its going to be that easy.

Loser mentality.

Fisher is 6-12 in his last two years against P5 teams. The ship is sinking....

Urban. He will not be the 'nice guy' or the guy that 'gets A&M', but he keeps momentum rolling recruiting wise. 8 wins is the worst he has ever done in college ball. That would be Amazing Now! Don't go with a guy that needs to Build momentum, go with the instant winner.

Show me where to donate.

1. Whole staff can take a hike too, minus DL coach.
2. I'm pretty sure we can find a much better coach. Lol
3. Jimbo lost like 25 guys last offseason. More likely to keep guys by getting rid of Jimbo than by keeping him. Except we could win on the field too.
4. Yeah, no. We're about to lose a couple more from this class. And a new good coach could do about the same Jimbo can for 2024, but improve 2025 class to be so much better than what Jimbo will get. Jimbo's 2025 class would suck. We aren't even making top10's for some of the best in-state '25 kids, and that was before 5 losses. Lol

I hate to say it because I have not felt this way all year regarding Coach Fisher's tenure until today.
Coach Fisher needs to be fired this weekend and make Coach Petrino the interm HC.
Play the year out and start the search after the seasons over.
If I thought keeping Fisher another year would really make a difference I would say so.
I no longer believe he can get the job done.
To much talent on this team for this inconsistent play to continue to happen.
Let's take our medicine now and get on down the road.

Yeah it would totally suck if we lost a lot of the coaching staff and some recruits. We might end up becoming mediocre. Best to stay on our current trajectory. Don't forget, the playoff expands to 12 next year, which is great because we've regularly finished top 12 in the Jimbo era.

Oh no! We could suck worse. So let's desperately cling to our current level of suckage.

This is the opinion/belief/mentality to why we are the way we are. To win, you demand greatness, and when it's not met, the balls to do what is required to win, which sometimes means being the mean guy and firing a loser.

This is how loser's think.

"But if not Jimbo, who? Huh? Huh?!". Literally any other ****ing person. In 6 years Jimbo has done squat. In another 6 years he will continue to have done squat. Why stick with a loser instead of giving someone else a try?

Who gives a **** if we're rebuilding with a different coach? WTF do you call the last two seasons? There's really not a whole lot to rebuild.

No one hands out recruiting trophies. We're getting best by lots of teams without the same level of recruiting we supposedly have. We shouldn't care about recruiting if we can't develop players. Even if recruiting takes a hit, lower rated players with better development will produce better than great prospects who plateau at mediocrity because they have ****ty coaching.

OP is yet another example why this program continues to underachieve by any metric. This fear of change, small school mentality is what holds down this program. Unfortunately, the BMAs share the same ideology.

Exactly. And if the next coach doesn't produce, you move to the next one. But you never give a 10 year, guaranteed contract. Hell I wouldn't give one of those to Saban.

You know how I know you've never been to Detroit?

If he can turnaround the Lions, he's the man for the job here........Plus we always say we need a coach that "gets A&M"

It would be stupid NOT to reach out to him for an interview.

The experts who gave him the contract, and the extension are on the hook for the buyout. And yeah they need to pay it

We'd have to commit another 100 mil to get him. That is a serious statement.

yes, get a effing contract lawyer to protect true and real A&M interest instead of efffing lawyer who signed off on previous jimbo's contract...

put buy out contract clause,
termination clause...normal contract $hat that jimbo's conthract seems to be missing


We really need to get rid of that biggest loser sharp... what a effing moran

It should be Texags ags mission to get rid of sharp, if we really want better A&M in both academics and the rest,

We have lost 9 consecutive road games dating back to a 29-19 loss at Ole Miss on 11/13/2021. We have not won a road game since a 35-14 win over Missouri on 10/16/2021 and a road game against an SEC West team since a 31-20 win at Auburn. If we lose at LSU, we will carry a 10-game road losing streak into next year and go for 2 consecutive years without a road win. Even worse, Arkansas, Auburn, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Vanderbilt have won at least one road game more recently than we have.

1. Since our last road win, Arkansas has had 4 road wins: a 16-13 overtime win at LSU on 11/13/2021, a 52-35 win at BYU on 10/15/2022, a 41-27 win at Auburn on 10/29/2022, and a 39-36 overtime win at Florida today.

2. In that same span, Auburn has 2 road wins: a 14-10 win at Cal on 9/9/2023 and a 31-15 win at Vanderbilt today.

3. In that same span, Mississippi State has 3 road wins: a 43-34 win at Auburn on 11/13/2021, a 24-22 win at Ole Miss on 11/24/2022, and a 7-3 win at Arkansas on 10/21/2203.

4. In that same span, South Carolina has 3 road wins: a 24-14 win at Kentucky on 10/8/2022, a 38-27 win at Vanderbilt on 11/5/2022, and a 31-30 win at Clemson on 11/26/2022.

5. Even Vanderbilt had a 24-21 road win at Kentucy on 11/12/2022 to snap 26-game losing SEC streak. Of course, Vanderbilt is the only team without an SEC Win and has lost 7 consecutive SEC games, dating back to a 56-0 home loss to Tennessee on 11/26/2022.
