Thats bad ass but like usual, I have no idea what they are doing. Prison yard time?

The Calcio Storico Fiorentino is a combination of soccer, rugby and big time wrestling originated in 16th century Florence and played today in historical costume. The four teams of the historical neighborhoods of the city play against each other, first in two semi-finals and then the final match to determine the winner.

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

By Billy Liucci
September 1, 2021


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

Updating this to reflect the last 2 losses. The 2022 recruiting class is currently 9-10 and is one loss away from tying Florida with 11 losses through two years, the most by a #1 overall class. To match the gators win total of 15 through two years they'd have to win out including a bowl game. Not looking great. 

Was that 2022 class the one aggy hitched itself to as being one of the best ever and the one that will win them a national championship? Lulz if so. I don't see a lot of offensive talent at all from the games I've seen. Especially at QB. You aren't going to win much in today's football without a really good QB.

Yep….next year!

TWELVE years in the SEC and nothing to show…

to be fair...

the 12 years in the SEC >> the 16 years in the Big 12

thanks to the 2012 & 2020 seasons

so there has been progress smile.gif

 

 

these fucking idiots just burn themselves.....they call the Big 12 the BDF and talk about how shitty it was.....but for the 16 years they were in the Big 12 they sucked so much cock that they look at that as worse than their first 12 years in the SEC SEC SEC.....where they are sucking cock and the cocks are getting bigger and they are paying a hell of a lot more to suck them....not to mention the money on facilities, NIL, and the supposed "advantage" to being in the SEC SEC SEC.....I am sure they will talk about tougher competition, but they lost to Appalachian State AT HOME while in the SEC SEC SEC....I do like the "88 more years to go"

His press conferences after games crack my ass up. Fisher is legitimately dumb as fuck. He just smugly rambles on with a bunch of nonsensical bullshit, 100% confident that he knows more than everyone else. This particular exchange (7:03) is a perfect example.

 Here is the play in question where Weigman is clearly in the endzone, lulz. Jimbo tried telling that dude that they snapped the ball from the 18 or 20 yard line.

A&M continues to be one of the worst pass blocking teams in the nation, and this was before the Tenn game



The recipe to stop aggy on offense is so simple. Overwhelm them with pressure. Their OL can't handle it, Max Johnson can't process quick enough, and Petrino/Jimbo have shown no ability to scheme around it with screens/QB draws/etc. 

The Arkansas gameplan made zero sense when they were only rushing 3 for a good portion of that game. But I guess that's why they're 2-5.

Bryce Foster is awful. Several bad snaps and tripping over his own feet, tripling the QB etc. Dude sucks balls. Whoop!

Bisontis is even worse. This was his PFF grade last week and he wasn't much better this week. The fact Bisontis is getting reps says a lot about their OL talent level because he should be playing at a JUCO.

The object is to kick the ball or kick the opponent in the shins.  Where is the ball?  To Hell with the ball, let's start the game.
