Got Traylor written all over it with the timing. I don't think Leopold or Elko are interested right now.

You don't pay 3.5xs the highest buyout ever to hire UTSA's coach

[utexas8 1459]

I think it's because they are going after Traylor and he's getting calls from a couple other programs and they don't want to miss the window.

I don’t see them going after traylor. How can they fire jimbo then go after a low level school coach? Not saying it’s not a good idea but I feel like they would want to get someone else.

[Bevo&Pevo 5207]

I know we have some empty boxes around here somewhere. Do ya' think he'll need 'em to pack his stuff?  Who has the address at Kyle Field?

[Texasborn91 938]

I wish I could get paid so much to be so shitty.

Basically what I was trying to say

[Js1 85437]

Those sons of bitches are going to do it. And fuck it up 

[DFW Horn 6127]

I'm really shocked by this. Now aggy must overpay again to get a reputable coach.

I'm shocked.  That is so much money to light on fire.  Plus I think Jimbo had something figured out with that Fresno St QB.

[Harvdog 2298]

Why would any coach want to go to CS to deal with that?  Those clowns think every coach wants that job.  I heard a few mention Dan Lanning.  Why would that guy leave Oregon and Nike money!?!?  
 

I want Jimbo to stay

Paying 3.5x to get rid of guy killing their program. Next hire about less "flash" more substance.

[Goofyboy 3293]

Where are they getting the money?? Doesn’t the aggy athletic department still owe the University for a massive loan? How is the University ok with approving this other than they are aggy??

[D_Goose 489]

It’s early but Bomani already getting warmed up…

My guess is that they're paying it now because it's not getting any better by waiting.  I think I read that in 3 years it will STILL be the highest buyout ever paid.  It's not like if they wait a year or two it's getting better.  They just fucked themselves on that contract.

I bet they are considering the match-up with Texas next year and should they lose with Jimbo in his 7th year, that would just look awful... but if they win/lose in a 'rebuilding' year with a new coach??? 

This is Aggy, you know we're part of their decision making...

Hard to call the angry dwarf a loser when he gets to leave Collie Station with a cool $76MM buy-out.

He'll have the nicest place on the Emerald Coast

I don't think they can pass the hat around for that buyout while selling Traylor. It's gotta be Elko or "the next Kirby or Lanning" in Schumann. Or something flashier. 

[ChickenNuggets 1630]

Jimbo completely outfoxed gomer... 

[Lou_Sassle 2876]

No fucking way! Just wow.....

[Auto Driller 2506]

I need Liucci to explain how this is the ultimate power move that signals that the sleeping giant is awakening.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Welp, ill take any crow u wanna give me. Im fucking shocked they are paying aLmost 4x the largest buyout in cfb history

 

what

a

waste

I think over-paying for Elko or having to go the cheaper route with Schumann are the leaders in the clubhouse

Elko and Lane had been the names earlier in the season. Urban is the ultimate Aggy move imo

[Horn80 6131]

After hearing about Arizona’s 250 million budget shortfall, aggy thinks Jimbo’s buyout is cheap.

Jimbo is walking out of this with over $110mm. That's why. 

[Dark Horse 2284]

A fool and his money are soon parted

[GTX Horn 1709]

Bring in Gary Kubiak to “steady the ship” so to speak, then groom Klint as HCIW. That would track with what CTJ said earlier in the week about the talk of wanting to bring in a true aggie. Probably would be one of the cheaper options

I can definitely see Joey Freshwater taking the aggy gig. This will be entertaining.

Dude that contract was a BARGAIN.

[Yesh 930]

Would any replacement arrive before the end of their season?  Or are they going to have an interim for the next couple weeks.

[GreenspointTexas 9662]

Maybe this is wishcasting/ a shot across the bow? Why are the articles getting taken down?

[Frank Drebin 5650]

Negotiated departure.  His contract doesn’t have offset for future earnings.  Maybe he’s not happy there and told ags he would let them offset earnings from future job like West Virginia or some type of negotiated out.  Say he gets $4 million for 5 years from WVU. And lets ags offset that against the $75 million.  I could see some sort of negotiated out if he’s miserable there or realizes it’s just not happening. 

[lilMAC25 3801]

Maybe they can do it because of the influx of Quatarian $$ from their profitable academic venture over there?

I can't think of a worse hire for aggy than Kubiak. Make it so

[Keef 771]

They better have a plan because their recruiting class and roster is about to get picked over.

There’s no reason at all for Fisher to negotiate against himself like this. He can still take the WVU job and make every bit of the $75M. It seems like the aggy BOR is much more miserable than he is.

[Welshy 907]

This is TERRIBLE fantastic news. I'm so conflicted.

You hate to see it. 

But you love to see it. 

[Js1 85437]

they all think they’re getting Urban 😂

Urban Meyer step on down...have to outbid Michigan State, but aggy can do that

[immamac 42870]

Imagine spending 76M to fire a coach instead of spending it on NIL for the program. Hahahahahahahahahahaha this is the end of Texas a&m football 

[Bill Lumbergh 7171]

"Doesn't matter, got 117 million dollars"

Edited November 12, 2023 by Bill Lumbergh

[Redneck Mutha 8006]

Think I saw where Traylor has a $7M buyout. 

No idea what Kiffin's is, but he's making close to $9M now, so they'd have to offer more than that.  Plus, the lower expectations and campus life in Oxford makes that an easier gig.

[utexas8 1459]

Elko would make sense. He knows their top class so maybe a lot would stay. But that won’t happen till the last game of the season.

The aggy chest-thumping will be insufferable if this actually happens. Urban chose aggy over UT !!!

WHOOP!

What about Deion?

[The Ace of Aces 5192]

The timing is super weird. 

And this sucks. I wish they kept him forever. 

[Sgt Hulk 13793]

I don’t want to see Jimbo fired. I think he was just about to turn that program around.
