A&M alums have some of the deepest pockets in all of college football…

Fisher is 45-25 in six seasons at Texas A&M, and he just signed a new 10-year contract with $95 million guaranteed in 2021. That deal was given, in part, because of the potential at the time of Fisher leaving for LSU.

My theory is by year two, you know if you have a dud or not.
It’s not about the won-loss record, it’s what you see on the field.
Napier is a dud, and the evidence was there in Year Two that Fisher was not going to work out at A&M.

In one fell swoop A&M passes Auburn in the amount of money they are paying coached to NOT coach…

You don’t fire a coach without a replacement in mind.

The buyout for Penn State firing James Franklin would be easily covered by holding a number of alumni Toga Parties in Beaver Stadium and charging $100/head, cash bar, with an acoustic guitar smash at $200/pop. We can hire Otis. Easy peasy.

I also point to Norvell, who did start 0-4 his second, but they managed to turn around their season the second half of the season, and got the arrow pointing up. Had FSU been like 2-10, instead of 5-7, Norvell wouldn’t have made it there.
Both years of Napier, the Gators have regressed as the season went on. A young team should be getting better.
You know who else has a “young” team this year? Alabama. They look so much better now than they did the first half of the season.

Unreal.
Good for Jimbo...the ‘greatest thing, in football coaching’ ... per A&M suckers, once upon a time.
