    Been keeping my mouth shut because I had a feeling he was just going to use A&M to get a raise and stay at FSU, but....... wow....

    And the contract.... rumored 10 years at 7.5MM/yr.....

    Meh, a&m is just proving that they’re willing to fork out to try to win.

    I think it’s too much but I can’t fault them for trying.

    Today, jimbo fisher is reportedly close to adding Tim Brewster to his coaching staff, trying to snatch him away from Tom Herman and the longhorns who are heavily pursuing him. That will have a big impact recruiting wise....

    Aggie got their settled, old Mack Brown hire. Unreal they hire an older coach who was 3-5 and 6th in the ACC this year, with not near the drive of the past. But no, that sounds about right for where aggy ends up in SEC standings every year. And willing to pay $7.5 million a year for that? Only aggy could think with such stupidity & lack of fiscal responsibility. Break the bank dummies. Laughable.

    Again, so fiscally stupid & irresponsible. What the hell are they thinking? On top of the $10.4 million they had to pay Sumlin to walk away, they also put out $7 million to pay off Jimbo's assistants. That crap is just not sustainable & typical of aggy irresponsibility. Just beyond dumb. An out of control spending school without ethics... well it’s called an out of control spending school without ethics. They act like they are their own country. LOL!! What a great fall is coming. Financially for sure.

    Plus, they get a guy with low ethics. See how he handled Jameis Winston fiascos if you need proof. He will also cheat like crazy in recruiting. Can you say NCAA probation for ags in the future? He will not hide that crap in Texas, and plenty will be watching.

    Not one bit concerned by that hire & will be fun to watch aggy hollar & cry over mediocrity while paying off that $75 million dollar salary. So dumb in so many ways. Aggy gonna aggy. I laugh.

    I stand by everything I said above about the Jimbo Fisher hire. Return back, in say 5-8 years, and I’ll tell you “I told you so” while aggy is trying to get out of two predicaments, incredible debt, & NCAA sanctions, while still trying to figure out where the championships are. Let it play out.

    Long before this hire I thought he was a sleazy, unethical coach. Not surprised he would be at aggy now, considering their track record of sleaze (Jackie Sherrill sound familiar & probation?).

    And to get an idea of Jimbo’s ethics, he shows absolutely no concern for his current players, by not even communicating to them anything... because he had his eyes dazzled by a school out of control and offering an audacious $75 million dollar contract. Money over the players who have sweated for you all year, that you can’t at least communicate what you are possibly planning? Yeah, that sounds like the college football world of today. He leaves FSU, takes the $75 million & doesn’t even have the decency to meet with his players, much less even text them?

    Take note future aggy recruits, his ethics are what they are... take it or leave it, but the guy is more about Jimbo.

    Meh, bunch of unsubstantiated claims.

    If A&M BoR think they can afford the contract, then it doesn’t really matter what some UT wannabe hillbilly thinks.

    I’m not overjoyed by the hire like some of my friends, but I can applaud the effort anyways.

    LOL! You must not get around much with college football if you are not aware of Jimbo’s ethics with recruiting. It is well, well known. How have you missed this? The usual blind aggy? That’s part of aggy’s problem, so blinded & brainwashed with everything aggy, they never think aggy can do anything wrong, when that’s all they have done forever, like not winning a conference title since 1998. And with Saban at Bama, not going to happen anytime soon either. Oh, but aggy will try. Jimbo will try so hard that NCAA probation is more than likely going to be his legacy for aggy. Just let it play out.

    And as for your butthurt detector oldtownag..LOL! What is there to be butthurt over with aggy? One of the most mediocre programs when it comes to football championships? Last national title was the leather helmet age? Last conference title 1998? Wow that is mediocre. At least we won a national title in the last dozen years. And with our domination over aggy, a 76-35-1 ledger, the last win 27-25, you think I am butthurt over anything aggy? Laughable. Ya’ll have been no factor for us. Just stating the facts here... not one bit scared about the hire, we are recruiting like a boss, & aggy going in debt with dumb, financial irresponsibility.
