He recently went back to Tallahassee to speak at some quarterback club.

He didn't speak. He was at the event because his son received an award.

He's a shameless thief. Why would he be mad? He's laughing his ass off.

It just seems kinda strange to me that not one word has been heard from Jimbo since the firing. I'm talking about some sort of interview or something like that. If I had that kind of payoff I would gladly never say another word but that doesn't seem to be Jimbo's MO. IMO

---

Dumb take.
Let him go, let it go. Jimbo is no longer our coach. Stop complaining.
He probably also has some non-disparaging clause to his $$$. It makes good sense for him to shut up.

why is he a thief? The Univ signed the contract.
If they signed a contract for you, you would take it as well. So you are a thief too?

Speaking up isn't worthwhile if it violates your $76M NDA

We're you expecting a press conference from his luxury deer blind? Coaches who get fired don't hold press conferences.

---

I feel like Coach O did at LSU for whatever reason, but generally why would you? As a general rule if someone gets fired and calls a press conference about it, it's to set the stage for a legal/PR/whatever battle against the former employer.

---

I'm pretty sure coach O got fired and continued to coach the team through the bowl game so he had a reason to have a press conference since he was still the coach.

Haven't heard a word from Mike Sherman since he got fired, now that I think about it.

---

False. He was allowed a press conference by $Bill where he defended his tenure.

---

Actually, I recall him giving a great press conference. It was almost inspirational where he thanked a lot of people and went on to list a lot of things that he learned as A&M's coach and gave a lot of good advice for the team and program to move forward.

Does anyone else remember it that way?

I remember the press conference. Looking back it was weird to have a fired coach do a farewell press conference. With that said he was a class act. Shame he couldn't win enough, and that his teams kept blowing leads.

---

Anyone know where the full conference is?

Hope so. Would be nice to at least have some of that $76M pumping up the local economy

He's been seen in metro Houston.

Why sell it? If you don't need the money (which we know he doesn't) real estate like that is only going to go up.

You make a good point.
However, College Station isn't a place people go to unless it's to do with A&M and I don't think Jimbo will ever set food in Coll Stn ever again so it may be more of a hassle for him to maintain the home. It may be a better idea to sell it and invest the money elsewhere.

What would he be mad about? Things didn't work out and he got a massive severance.

Yeah, he got the same thing he would have gotten had he stayed. Only now, he doesn't even have to go through the motions of working.

He should donate some of that money for the Kyle Field lazy river.

He was given 6 years, every resource imaginable, and an early retirement. I doubt he really cares at this point.

I don't need to hear that man (fraud) speak for the rest of my days. It may take a long time to mentally remove the words "[w]e just need to executive better" from my head.

I wouldn't expect to hear from Jimbo.

However, if he had any dignity and self-respect he would approach the AD with a much lower negotiated settlement. I understand the contract is what the contract is but he should feel shame and embarrassment collecting all that $$. Maybe he has and it is not being reported and never will be due to a NDA.

From the A&M side all those responsible for the contract raise and extension (and no, Bjork is not one of them) should be tarred & feathered and publicly ridiculed.

I did find this video of him.

Mike Sherman was and is a great man, a great leader of young men, and yes a great FB coach. He was not a good college FB HC overall as he approached the game from an NFL standpoint, wasn't a tireless recruiter, and he put too much on his QB. 2011 could have easily been a 9+ or 10+ win season with Tannehill throwing less in 2nd half of games, but that is not how you play NFL pro-style football. And it wasn't conditioning or meltdowns, in 2010 we were a strong 2nd half team.

Still, he brought the program back from the depths of the Fran debacle, rebuilt the roster, loaded the starting 22 with elite level talent and future NFL players, he did a great job in talent evaluation, recruiting and development (see Swope, Ryan) though could never quite get enough depth especially on defense.

Debatable if he should have been let go, but what is not debatable is how poorly that was handled and how disrespectful it was to Mike and his family. Absolutely shameful how that happened. Once that decision was made it should have been made clear to the decision makers not one f'ing word to anyone outside that group until the AD had a chance to talk to him. But no, some BMAs had to stroke themselves and their ego and let it slip that we were going to fire Sherman and hire the next guy who was going to win the NC, etc. It was/is a poor reflection on all those involved and made our program look like a JV clown show.

if you got paid 77 million to shut up and leave would you do it?

I would.

(just in case anyone is offering. )

If my company gave me a $77M severance package I'd ride off into the sunset and enjoy the good life.

You guys can't have it both ways. Jimbo was not both a dumb coach and a malicious scam artist. He was a good man that did not get it done as HC.

Wasn't Orgeron quoted about being fired something like 'I get paid $15 million to leave? Which door do you want me to walk out through?'

I'm curious, for the people who want Jimbo to say something..... what would you want Jimbo to talk about?

What exactly do you want him to say?

Well, to be brutally honest, you only get 1 phone call per day at county……

He is counting his money. When he gets up to around 65 million, he gets flustered, loses count, and has to start over. That's a lot of $100 bills.

I have two questions.

Whatever happened to the Aggie Pimp Stick?
Whatever happened to the undated National Championship Texas A&M plaque?

These would be two great items to auction for fundraising for a worthy cause.

Nobody asked squirrel
