The problem with Jimbo's rant.


Feb 2, 2022, 10:08 PM

He could be telling the truth.
He could be lying through his teeth.
He could be exaggerating and the truth could be anywhere in between the above two statements.


With Jimbo, you never know.

I'll choose #2 as the most likely of the three statements.

In terms of his truthfulness I would rank him alongside Barry Bonds, Roger Clemmons and Lance Armstrong.

He's trying to sell it was his recruiting and not NIL! I'm not buying!

Brett, hope you are recovering well. I enjoy your posts and insights. You know Jimbo better than most I am sure. I agree his comments on A&M NIL accusations seem over the top and likely not truthful. However, I am curious what you think about these four contentions Jimbo is throwing back at his detractors? To me this is the juicy stuff. I realize it’s all speculation but interested if you think Jimbo is too dishonest to believe on these claims:

1) Nick Saban is hypocritical for saying he doesn’t use NIL to recruit when he was openly saying/bragging Bryce Young got an $800,000 NIL deal at SEC media days.
2) Saban and other SEC schools had a system for improper payments (i.e. pre-NIL NIL deals). Jimbo says he knows details and has threatened to expose.
3) Saban is hypocritical for complaining about the portal consequences when he uses it more actively than most.
4) Saban and Kiffin are irresponsible and “clowns” for making passive aggressive claims about A&M NIL impropriety based off an internet message board post by anonymous poster “sliced bread”

Saban has been on record about what he dosnt like and how it actually will benefit them more than most and why it's STILL not a good idea. Oh, NIL and the portal are happening anyway? Then Nick will take FULL advantage of those rules to field the best program possible. I will be honest, I have come to respect the heck out of Coach Saban. Many hate him because he flat out wins, but fact is he had been on record saying a lot of the same things Dabo has. Difference is he will use these to keep it rolling. We can disagree or agree, can't dispute the results however.

Re: The problem with Jimbo's rant.


Feb 3, 2022, 1:55 AM

I don’t disagree. I do think Saban is very threatened by the prospect that the Texas oil money may elevate those schools well above Alabama’s level. If A&M did spend tens of millions, that’s a far cry from Bama’s alleged 25 Dodge Chargers per year. So there is that hypocrisy, but at the same time Saban knows it is bad for college football as a whole. I think Saban’s motives for speaking out are largely self-serving, but rooted in what he knows to be the moral high ground.

Jimbo worked with Saban, Smart and Kiffin, so I suspect those are the coaches he threatened to go scorched earth on about their pre-NIL payments and recruiting tactics. Interestingly, Jimbo fingered himself as a cheater in firing that shot over the other coaches bow.

Is Saban the goat? Sure he is. Is he a clean goat? I say not a chance in he!! I could be wrong.

Feb 3, 2022, 6:58 AM [ in reply to Re: The problem with Jimbo's rant. ]

Thanks for asking about me. I'm fine. Had relatively mild symptoms. I was over it in about 3 days.

As for Jimbo's rant, I think the truth is this. Jimbo worked on Saban's staff. He knows how recruiting went. He knows that everyone bends the rules, some more extreme than others. He knows how cutthroat recruiting is, especially in the big schools.

I don't know the specifics of how aTm has structured the NIL deals. There probably is no official trust fund set up to pay the players. But, there is probably some sort of financial arrangement with the boosters to pay the players. So, Jimbo can rant about Sclided Bread lying, but the effect is still the same. Boosters are guaranteeing they will pay kids to come to aTm and play football.

I think his position is this: I've figured out a way to get ahead of the NIL rules better than y'all have. We've all been cheating for years. But, we've all had the gentlemen's agreement, "I won't tell on you and you don't tell on me." Y'all don't like it that I jumped ahead of you in the recruiting game. Tough.

Jimbo says he knows what has been going on for years and he can name names. Well, if he's been clean for all those years, why didn't he blow the whistle on the others?

Jimbo knows he's living in a glass house, so he can't throw stones.

Jimbo's biggest problem is he's a jerk. His interest is in doing what is in the best short term interest for Jimbo.

Bryce Young committed to Bama before the NIL was put into place. This is the pretty much the first class where NIL has been a legitimate factor in recruiting. At least now these teams don't have to make up fake jobs for the family members of elite players. I prefer they all just be honest and open about it.

Don't insult our intelligence Jimbo & CO.

Been thinking about this a bit....


Feb 2, 2022, 11:03 PM

SEC is a house of cards at this point. No way in heck does Texas A&M come out of nowhere lands a class like this. I remember when Ole Miss did it and was not even near as crazy as what we are seeing now and everyone knew what was going on. Where is Hugh Freeze now? Yeah.

Is it because of NIL? Jimbo's defense is everyone believes a poster on the internet that's lying? I guess it's just a huge coincidence, Jimbo. He can't be stupid enough to think he can sell that lie.

Jimbo will have a lot to manage with this level of chaos coming his way and he thought Lobstergate was an issue. I remember when Winstin came out dressed out for a game he was suspended in that Jimbo could barely control that situation.

Jimbo is scum. He epitomizes the worst about college football and now he has the money behind him to pay players. It's a noose that's going to hang him.

I can't help to think this blows up in his face and he takes down the other shady coaches in the SEC on his way out.

In my personal experience people who get overly defensive and angry over questions are typically the guilty ones. If you haven’t done wrong why worry about it. So I’m definitely on true option 2 train

Texas A&M is patient zero on how NIL will destroy this game. You MFin radicals who defended this sh*t up and down take a good look…This is how and why programs you love will twirl down to irrelevance. They go from 3 5 star recruits 3 recruiting cycles to 7 in the 22’ cycle. Lmao!

The only saving Grace is that bull headed moron Fisher WILL Fck this up because he’s an idiot. He’s been tossed the keys to the corvette and he will drive it like a Toyota Tercel. Soon, the hottest job to be desired by coaches will be A&M.

Great topic and a lot of great reading on Jimbo and the NIL. I will say it again and again this whole deal stinks so bad. Breaks my heart to see something I have a passion for be manipulated by greed. Common sense imo saw this is how things would go. This is just bad period.

Since all of this is legal, I think Jimbo would have been better off just to say, “Thanks so much to the great A&M boosters, keep up the good work. The coaches and players are going to continue to work our butts off and together we are going to bring a championship to College Station soon!” Just be honest and acknowledge how it is all coming together for him.

too guilty so I think he was clearly coordinating with these aTm boosters.

We’re discussing it. Why deny and act like NIL is something to be ashamed of? Why try and cover it up? It’s legal now. Instead of denying it, he should have been embracing it.

All I know for sure about Dumbo is he was cheating before it's legal and he left FSU in a mess they may never recover from.

No respect for Jimbo. The whole deal with Bowden stinks and still does. Not an FSU fan but thought Bobby Bowden was one of the “good guys” and I do know the ACC needs them and a few others to be great again to be a top tier football conference. Glad you are feeling better Bret and I enjoy your posts.
