Scary that aTm can handle a $76M buyout.

The wealth of Texas' football programs is astounding.
Also a stark reminder that money can buy coaches and now players, but not wins.

Ha. Those oil tycoons can just give him an oil well. He can retire pumping all the money he wants.

I live an hour away from A&M and honestly you would never know it. The fervor of college football is not evident. Only big money and students must be the people who are fueling the firing. It is like there is no college football here.

Ive been to many aggie games and there was plenty of fervor. And no offense to Ohio, but there's alot more competing for attention spans than Aggie football, given the entire vast state of Texas.

Any organization that tolerates a 76 million dollar mistake from their leaders, deserves those leaders.

Did their leader make that mistake? I would bet the donors decided the hire. aTm is a different kind of place.

Someone or some group made the decision to hire Jimbo. Whoever that was, owns that decision at the cost of $76 million. You want the authority, the responsibility comes with it. You put Bozos in charge, you should expect a clown show.

Not sure I'd call Kiffin a "Saban disciple". He had three HC jobs by that point***

It can buy wins. Problem is they bought the wrong coach.

Never liked the hire. Like Switzer lived on what Jimmy Johnson built in Dallas, Jimbo lived on what Bobby built at FSU.

Actually $150m+ based on one article

Read an article where Tam has made it clear they want a top coach which will also have a buyout and expect huge contract so with the $76m buyout along with costs associated with pulling top coach, they expected the firing of Jimbo to cost approximately $150m just to get who they wanted. Crazy numbers.

"Handle" use of that word is proof that many of you have no perception of the wealth at their fingertips-
