Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

[RollLeft 5044]

What are the chances aTm pulls a Tennessee and has someone internally try and snitch/ tie a bag deal to Jimbo in an attempt to fire him with cause while claiming "no one is bigger than the program"?

Very low. Literally all they care about is how people think of them. Any narrative that doesn't support their awesomeness, they will bitch and moan about it. 

Acknowledging that they broke the rules and paid for players is exactly what they've been denying for a year. So any admission of that will not happen because students only go to aggy because they're awesome and Jimbo is building something special!

Liucci: Jimbo Fisher's extension will be another 'bargain' for Texas A&M

Key notes from Billy Liucci interview

• You're going to see this contract be 10 years, starting from now, with an average right around $9 million per year. You're starting the existing deal over with a significant raise to make him the second-highest paid coach in the SEC behind Nick Saban and one of the highest-paid in college football.
• This is a great deal. We're going to look at it again as a great bargain. We've been talking about it for the last three years and how wrong people were the first time. Now they're doing it again. People don't seem to understand the no-buyout thing, and that makes me laugh. The buyout is $9 million a year, $90 million guaranteed.
• Nick Saban doesn't look like he's going to retire anytime soon, but say Alabama comes after Jimbo Fisher in three years when Saban is done. That's the only school that could take Fisher with the money that Texas A&M is paying. If Alabama does that, it means the next three years have been really good in Aggieland.
• A buyout does nothing. When was the last time a school didn't hire a coach they wanted because of a buyout? Do you think a one-year buyout, another $9 million, would keep A&M from going to get a coach? The buyout is $90 million. It also keeps the coach here. It's like the SEC not having a grant of rights. The SEC basically says, "You want to leave? Go."
• I don't think there is any danger of Fisher leaving. The danger is losing money. If it doesn't work, you lose money. Everyone is making a big deal about it, but it's like me and Olin living in the same neighborhood. If I saw him driving a Maserati, that's Olin's business. Not mine. The way the media is acting would be like me walking around the neighborhood calling Olin an idiot for spending that money on a car. Who's the idiot in that scenario?
• A&M is three years into this, and they have a pretty good idea of what they're investing in. People are saying it's only one good year, but it's not. It's one great year and three years of progress. Jimbo's first year was a nice, strong season. They finished ranked and won a bowl game, playing great football at the end of the year. His third year was a top-five finish, an Orange Bowl championship and a legitimate argument to be in the playoff.
• In 12 years as a coach, Fisher has a national title, a playoff berth and another top-five finish. He probably has five top-ten finishes in 12 years to go along with that. At what point do you look at that resume and say that Fisher is an elite head coach in this game? He is. It's not debatable. Texas A&M has a coach that is among the very best, the top five, in this game.
• If you look at what Fisher is doing in recruiting and don't feel extremely confident in your investment, I don't know what to tell you.
• Regarding the timing, coaches don't like negotiating during the season. What if Texas A&M reached the playoff this year and LSU spiraled? I think Texas A&M did the right thing. We got our guy, and he's locked up for as long as he wants to coach.
• This guy won a national title. He won 27 of 28 games with Jameis Winston in 2013 and 2014. People want to say it was all Winston, but you can't take away a guy's best player. If you take away Vince Young, what did Mack Brown do? Take away Joe Burrow, Ed O doesn’t win a championship.
• I know what Dan Mullen has done, and I know what Jim Harbaugh has done. What in the hell have they done that Jimbo hasn't done? Mullen won a New Year's Six game, and Florida caught some criticism for that extension. The blowback shows how big the spotlight is on Texas A&M and Jimbo Fisher.
• For the people that say A&M isn't relevant, you're hearing most of that from Texas, Oklahoma and some from LSU. They're whining fake tough guys.
• If you say a negative thing about Oklahoma, the Sooners go insane. Somebody asked me if I'd rather have Lincoln Riley or Jimbo at Texas A&M, at the answer is Jimbo. Riley is a good coach, but he coaches in a league where he has five times the talent as anybody he plays. They're both good coaches, but it's apples to oranges. Jimbo Fisher is a great fit at Texas A&M.
• Texas might be the most delusional fanbase in American sports. They're loud on Twitter. They get these talking points, and no matter how bad their team is or how good things are going in College Station, they cannot come off their talking points. How much money did they pay to fire Herman and hire Steve Sarkisian? We know what Sark has done. You want to boil it down to Fisher not winning a title in three years? You spent $75 million to hire Sarkisian.
• LSU is just scared. They had that great year and smoked the Aggies in 2019, but they've lost two of three to Texas A&M. Jimbo Fisher is the guy they've tried to hire twice. Ed Orgeron is a trainwreck of a coach, and they know it. They were hoping they could possibly hire Fisher at some point, and the Aggies just put up a wall around College Station.
• A day ago, what was the big cry coming out of Austin, Baton Rouge and Norman? That Fisher would be in Baton Rouge in a year. That was the battle cry from those three fanbases, and they wouldn't shut up about it. Today, 10 years and $90 million later, A&M is stupid for paying it? It's a constantly moving target.

Also, TexAgs posters seem to keep shitting on the Big 12 when they talk about them going 1-6 against their SEC schedule. Somebody with a login should pop in and remind them the Big 12 is *still* the highest-rated conference in college football for 2022.

"Horns are... a few plays away from 4-5."

 

If aggy wants to play that game, we're also a few plays (including a missed safety and a QB injury) away from being 9-0. Dumb asses.

Any team gifted that sort of miracle win over Arkansas should keep quiet about the thin margin between victory and defeat.

They're 0 and 2 against the state of Mississippi for 2 years running, and over the lifetime of TAMU and MSU's SEC membership their conference win records are within ~3 percent of each other. And yet they don't realize they already have achieved permanent Miss St status.

They would be lucky for that. Miss St is way better than them with a better record with less talent.

I think there is zero chance Jimbo takes any less than the 90 million he is owed.  Unlike his exit from FSU - he doesn't have some rube with an inferiority complex lined up to pay him another 10 year guaranteed deal.  Jimbo is earning for retirement at this point.

[billfromlaketravis 11464]

Looch’s posts are strange even for him. aggy has a myriad of issues on defense and offensive line, and yet… they’re an OC and another season of Weigman away. 
 

I know it’s his business model to sell hope, but objectively, it looks like a complete rebuild in season 5. 
 

Durkin/Robinson/Price largely escaping blame demonstrates again their cultish devotion to a single narrative generated by Looch.

We need more posts like this from the Ags. This is monumentally stupid reasoning even for aggy. The locker room is falling apart, players are quitting, transferring and decommitting in-season, yet they need to keep Jimbo so the locker room doesn’t implode. But hey, whatever they have to tell themselves to fight to keep Jimbo is a brilliant idea in my book. 
 

 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18547]

Other than the part about LSU hiring a new coach with a really good track record, who went in there to clean house and change the culture vs Jimbo being in year 5 with a toxic entitled locker room, a moribund offense and swiss cheese defense... it's virtually the same position.

I also see no reason to believe that WVU would just let him come run their program into the ground. aggy doesn't realize this, but no one outside that fanbase thinks riz bitz is a quality P5 coach anymore. I would be surprised if WVU hired him, and I understand Neal Brown is awful.

Yeah, that’s another perspective he missed. But also that we’re laughing because he didn’t win a title in 3 years. We’ve been laughing because they’ve mortgaged the farm for a coach that is unlikely to ever win a title yet they doubled down on his after a fluky Covid year where the team beat 1 team with a winning record and got ass blasted by Bama.

I have officially reached the point where I can’t even enjoy the ATM misery any longer, due to a completely irrational sports fan fear that my schadenfreude will be karmically punished by the football gods making us lose out and our recruiting tanking.
