People aren't sure. There've been hints all year and would make sense since lincoln took OU to jordan.

That sounds like something that a drunk booster said in a fit of rage, I very much doubt that would happen

They’re starting to plant the seeds for “youre hiring a ******* coordinator” conversations in December.
They aren’t paying $75m’s for him to just go away.
They could, but they’re not gonna.

Yeah, I know TAMU has **** it money, But putting out 75m right now would be crazy even for them.
That’s aside from the fact that it would be open season on that recruiting class they just landed and barring them hiring someone incredible most of that class would dip

You think they’re actually going to be able to force him to?

You think those recruits are beholden to Jimbo Fisher?
You think it was Jimbo Fisher's electric personality and long track record of success and winning and national championship when these recruits were in elementary school is what took them to college station? You think Jimbo fishers offense is what got two five star receivers excited to play for the Aggies? Those recruits are there for the check, I don't think Jimbo Fisher leaving would matter unless the money stopped flowing. Texas A&M would not have any retention issues if they fire Jimbo and got someone else.

How much does he like everything he could ever ask for being funded no questions asked?
And he, as well as anyone, knows they can LOL at $75m if they really wanted to.
My thing with this graphic is always how stupid it looks and how much other context it actually ignores.You think those recruits are beholden to Jimbo Fisher?

NIL is a factor. Sure.
But are we supposed to look at that and think “MAN THESE IDIOTS JUST WOKE UP ONE MORNING FOUR YEARS IN AND DECIDED THEY HAD TO WRITE SOME CHECKS?”
Is the implication A&M wasn’t cheating before NIL? And just now decided to? It’s stupid to try and pin all the recruiting success on that.
Especially when those same people spun the narrative that Saban killed it for them this year and that isn’t really holding its water because in what was always going to be a smaller class they’re still landing as much QUALITY as essentially anyone else in the country.
Jimbo recruited well at Florida State, too, so what’s the excuse for that?

I’d personally like to thanks
AZwildcats
and his squad for blowing us out last night. Although that 23 point loss last night was the closest final score of the season for the Buffs.

1. I think that every top program has been paying players for years but the ability to pay them above board and provide direct payment makes things easier for resource-rich programs. No more bag men necessary, these are legal checks now.
2. Jimbo Fisher was recruiting well at Florida State...because it's Florida State. Jimbo is a very good recruiter, I don't think he's some type of bum
No need to get worked up, it's just a meme. What I'm getting at is that Texas A&M wouldn't have to worry about player attention if they got rid of Jimbo

You’re delusional if you think bag men aren’t still necessary
. The NIL money going around mostly isn’t even as much as it’s been hyped up to be from all accounts.we’re in an era where kids get one free transfer. I think you’re completely wrong here

Not worked up at all. Just think it’s kind of a brain dead argument to point at and the data in the screenshot stripped of any actual context
is just silly.
But I guess my point is even Florida State didn’t recruit at any point in their history like they did with Jimbo and they haven’t come close since.
He’s an elite recruiter regardless of how we feel about his coaching ability/rigidity and those data points were moving up and to the right collectively even before NIL.
I think we’re in a place where any firing/forced coaching change, regardless of where it’s at, is going to be a problem for retaining talent on the roster.You’re delusional if you think bag men aren’t still necessary

Most guys, not all but most, aren’t going to Texas A&M or Georgia or Alabama because they love the school/program/whatever.
They’re going for coaches and relationships. Money is a factor, but they can get money at most any major program.
