Shoot we wouldn't have to pay him for several years! I read where the buyout is conditional if he takes another job. So whatever they have to pay him per year goes down if another team hires him. I guess WVU could hire him for like $500k and then A&M would basically supplement other pieces of that by proxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the contract with A&M was guaranteed, which means they owe him the whole enchilada regards if he gets another job or not, but I could be wrong, and have beenmore times than I'd like to think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikeman49 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 What a stupid move from A&M, have lost all respect for the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranquility Base Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Big Expectations that were never met. This isn't just an A&M thing. Mississippi State fired their coach as well. Coaches no longer have the luxury of building a program or culture. It's get hired, hit the portal and be in contention within a couple years. Unfortunately, this may become the norm.

Breds82 Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 I read that Jimbo gets the entire amount regardless if he gets another paying job or not. He's 58, won a title already and his great grandkids are set for life. Just buy a few houses in locations you like to be and just bounce around doing broadcast kind of stuff to stay connected to football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
