Only aggy would corner themselves into a contract they can't get out of with a coach that hadn't produced shit on the field.
I never understood the aggy knob slob from the beginning. There have been several coaches who've managed to win it all. A few have done it more than once, a very select few have managed to do it with multiple teams. But the odds are more likely to see a coach being a one and done, than pulling multiple titles with different schools. Hell, there's probably better odds for a coach to be on the hot seat in a few years over repeating.
Jimbo Fisher. 1 National Championship. 1 Playoff appearance as the 3rd seed, in spite of being the only undefeated team in college and the defending Champions. FSU never looked dominant, instead the season had multiple games in which FSU found themselves in survival mode against teams they should've blown out. They lost the playoff to Oregon 59 to 20, who went on to lose to OSU 42-20 in the Championship.

Aggy best year vs the SEC under Jimbo consisted of a win against a mediocre 8-4 Florida team, a win against an unconscious 6-5 Auburn, a win against a comatose LSU, and 5 wins against teams that were DOA at the stadium.
Only aggy would see the logic in a contract for going 5-3, 4-4, then 8-1 during a season where COVID decimated teams and obviously has most of the conference mates playing well below their typical average. 8-1, no matter the circumstances, automatically meant 1 loss and undefeated seasons from then on...
Only aggy would see the benefit of a contract that scrubbed down basically reads that aggy is tied to Jimbo for a long time and/or a lot of money, no matter how much he sucks. But Jimbo is not tied to aggy, (outside of nowhere to go, and another decade worth of riding the 9 million dollar gravy train.
