A&M went for the home run in Jimbo, that didn’t work. Now they’re paying stupid buyout money, but I can’t imagine they’d pay a huge buyout to go for a sensible option. They want the grand slam name, the coach that will be the last piece of their natty puzzle.
Really, they are U(sic)Ga circa 2016- everything is there to win, they have money, facilities, deep recruiting state, huge fan base, the HC is the only thing left.
And he did the one thing you knew he could: recruit.
It is near impossible to guarantee consistent winning. It is hard to do and there are so many variables.
And the problem is you are paying coaches so much guaranteed money that it is FU money and the AA has zero control over them.
A&M AA: Hey Jimbo, you need to hire a new OC and let him run the show.
Jimbo: FU
* Could you please let a new guy help you on Offense
Jimbo: FU
* Could yo…
* FU
