kliff would make me laugh, maybe he's learned something but he's sucked everywhere he's went . he was fucking fired from tech , but hey he's available ! 

traylor would be solid , as would klieman, but neither move the flex needle 

then you have playoff contenders who aren't going to make any sudden moves 

kiffin, pretty sure he likes women too much to go to a&m 

and elko, who may be wise enough not to go back to a&m 

how about 1 used tom herman ? 

could be a long coaching carosuel

I told you people that the buyout wasn’t that big a deal. 
40 or 50M up front for all of the buyouts and then the 8M a year is a rounding error in a 250M budget or wherever we get to with the Death Star sec money.

The most amusing part is aggy really went for it, paid the highest guaranteed salary to get a national championship winning coach, and it did absolutely nothing except a few wins against Bama and LSU.

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

It seems like they're planning on the school paying the buyout so the bmd's aren't tapped out over NIL

Isn't "school paying the buyout" the same as "taxpayers of the state of Texas paying the buyout?"  

The "school" and the "athletics department" are hypothetically independent entities.

Oooh. Kliff was not a name that even remotely crossed my mind. As majorly bummed as I am about losing Jimbo in CS, hiring KK would be a pretty good bounce back. Any rational  person will quickly discount that possibility thinking no athletic department could be that fucking dumb. But the ability to reach new depths in stupidity is what sets  aggy apart. Come on Russ, you got this.

With all the names already thrown out you have to understand aggy psychology to know who it will actually be.

They're eternally insecure and desperate for recognition and acceptance, be it fraudulent wall plaques or fake championship plaques.

It will definitely be another splash hire. It has to be a big name so they can puff up their chests and assert, yet again, that they will finally be reaching the college football mountaintop.

Media is overlooking a proven big name winner who will likely be available soon and ready for a new challenge.

If he really gets $76,000,000 to leave there have to be some people in administration who lose their jobs as well. People who sign off on these contracts have to have some ownership of them as well.

Did anyone take ownership of killing 12 students?  
No one will take ownership of this either.

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

Expand  

I hear your point, but you should go back and revisit Jimbo's contract through the lens of things rational people don't do.

aggy not only does them, they take pride in them like they've figured out some super secret path to guaranteed success that no one else thought of.

It would be shocking if they did all of this to hire Traylor, but the fact that it would be so shocking almost makes it more likely.

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

The recruits weren’t signing up for Jimbo. If anything, they’ll likely hold on to most that would’ve been transferring out this offseason.

God….this is glorious. And I hate it, because I want him around forever. I also hate it because money is fungible, and one of our state universities is lighting $76 million on fire because they just can’t stop being fucking stupid pathetic little brother.

Aggy was outsmarted by a mouth breathing idiot and his agent. And it wasn’t even a fair fight.

Expand  

It's breathtaking in how wasteful the Jimbo era has been. They've wasted a hundred million dollars. And of course, no one will lose their jobs for this error because their masters wanted Jimbo and money didn't matter. And now they want Jimbo gone and the money still doesn't matter.
