That’s why Aggies have not won in forever. Forgive the ego maniac who thinks it’s smart to fire Jimbo after Ole Miss and eat 77 million. Bc he admitted his mistake? Wow. Now people taking up for Bjork (who got OWNED) by Jimmy Sexton saying we have “phenomenal “ interest from around the country but using the excuse of we just paid 80 million so we can’t afford a top tier guy.
absolutely a terrible business decision....TAMU will never ever ever win the SEC let alone a national championship....never ever.....and they just threw away $76M.
@@SlobberKnockerrLOL. tamu had an athletic budget surplus of $15 million in 2022. Which is roughly 1/5 of the $76 million. It hits hard no matter how you take it. They are having to reduce expenses. I think the donors will be checking on how much of their money has gone toward this idiocy
This Ross guy is blowing sooooooo much smoke. Everybody get rid of your cell phones! Rossy is going to start sending smoke signals. THE ULTIMATE PYRAMID SCHEME 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Let's not forget Ross brought us Buzz and Schlossnagle. Both very good hires. He did not hire Jimbo. Give our AD a chance to make another great hire. Ross also pretty much let all of our coaches know that losing will not be accepted at A&M. Im sure after Jimbo was let go they all took a good look at themselves and how they are doing as coaches.
If I was Jimbo, with that amount of money. I’d consider coaching high school ball, or opening a coaching clinic that helps youth, or maybe even a small college. He won’t need money and in fact could pay some money to help somewhere. It would be stress free because you’re not owed a ton and have to be great. ROLL TIDE!
I love having an incentive laden contract. You win you get paid. Forget about the long term deals. These AD’s get bullied into believing that their coach might leave when the reality is that the coaches agent is putting those rumors out there. These AD’s are bidding against themselves.
Hilarious concept considering Jimbo only went to aTm when FSU didn’t match what they were offering him. These bidding wars are a very real thing, even if they aren’t super common.
@@colbycarroll7746 FSU didn’t need to match A&M because Jimbo wasn’t winning national championships at FSU. They did the right thing and let him go if someone was dumb enough to pay him which A&M was. Now how did that work out for A&M? That’s my point, these coaches have one good year maybe two and then the agent reaches out to the school and whispers that that their client is being targeted when the reality is if the school holds tight longer they will either get the results they were waiting for or not.
This guy needs to watch his interview. Not winning talk...not winning leadership. Using the expansion for a better chance at 9-3 to make the playoff?......
BAD look that he is revealing that A&M is all about money? Why do we accept this in college sports? These schools are supposed to be about education. They are admitting it is about financial gain and we are accepting it. Are you serious?
I find it phenomenal that a coach can be fired and leave with 76 Million dollars! I can't hate on it--The agents for these coaches are some of the best negotiators of all time!
He better not sh** the bed on this hire after pushing Jimbo out the door a year too soon. He lost a QB and still only lost by a few plays or he’d have been undefeated in the SEC with a young team. Hes going to be vilified, and rightly so if he doesn’t get it right after spending 80 million on the RIGHT to hire a new coach. Ridiculous.
I don't know much about the business of college football, as crazy as it is, but I do know one thing--Fisher is laughing all the way to the bank with $76M guaranteed! I don't know who sang a song about "getting paid today", maybe Johnny Paycheck, Jimbo is singing that tune all day, everyday!!
How can we stop these Division I coaches from walking away with millions of dollars when they get fired? It makes no sense to me that they can get fired and come out ahead for losing. Not smart in my opinion.
Hurts to hear when these guys forget what is important. Look at the elite in the SEC and they have done NONE of this. They focused on the student athlete being elite and creating value. This is embarrassing for A&M.......and anyone who believe this is what is best to do.
Texas A&M needs to tell Ross Bjork to take a Major Pay Cut immediately or be fired for his actions that caused the $76m buyout for Jimbo Fisher. He’s one of the worse Athletic Directors Around.
He said it could be a coach playing in a conference Championship it could be the Washington coach it could be Oklahoma coach or Oklahoma OC I hope it's not Mike we love him at Florida State now let's look at the American Conference it could be Tulane coach Willie freeze or SMU coach Rick Lashley both of them are reasonable and affordable prices where you still can be competitive with a 12 team playoff I believe it's one of them
I think fans take things way out of content: I think it could be worth noting, it's should have not been about the Coach "Fisher", I truly think that fans persuaded the AD Ross that it cannot go on? However, if you look at the improvements that were being made over the last 2 years in recruiting, NIL $$$ for the athletes, building a stronger fan base, improvements that were " Yes, slowly made on the field" were coming to fruitation, as it will show next fall. I'm not saying the firing of this head coach was bad or good, what I am saying: sometimes fans, boosters are not patient enough to reap the rewards under due time? The most successful programs that have won national championships wether it be in football, basketball, baseball or any major sport takes time during recruitment, transfer portals, building a solid staff that athletes buy into that makes it possible to compete for Championships. We as fans sometimes just don't understand the time frame and, due process?
I graduated in 1991 - and I've been disappointed since then. The biggest issue is that we have always lacked discipline...even when RC was the coach. One day, the players will reflect A&Ms values instead of rap songs and explosions when they enter the stadium. Remember when the football players helped in removing logs from the fallen Bonfire? The football team nees to go back to the values of A&M...period.
Based on RC's on field success, it seems you're advocating for less discipline. Is that what you mean by discipline being the issue? There's too much discipline?
The donors love him so he’s staying but an awful AD with poor decisions and what’s his reason when the new hire doesn’t work, one thing a&m has is loyal fans they don’t care if they continue to be bottom in SEC having games to watch is enough
Who will be the next overpaid coach to bring the whacko Ags to a solid 4th place finish? 😂 oh wait, the horns and Mobilehoma are coming next year. Make that a 6th place finish.
How? Top 10 pay. Great facilities, rabid fans, massive stadium. Only thing lacking is the right coach. I know “they haven’t won anything since 1998.” (Except that Heisman Trophy on that 2012 season and that 9-1 2020 season). Whoever becomes that coach (like Mac was for Texas) will have a statue out front one day.
Was proud on how he owned up to the mistake of the extension. Come at us this way and you have our heart.

"A&M has never tested the market." So true! Let the process play itself out and let the leading candidate emerge.
Sherman hire prob the last time they tested the market.
That candidate would be Jeff Traylor!
Jeff Traylor is staring them in the face. They really can’t mess this up

Texas A&M must have money to burn!!
What did he say about giving him that absurd contract to start with, that took real intellect

We've heard this for years, man. Jimbo had, what, 6 years. That is PLENTY of time to grade his performance and he unequivocally failed.
Jimbo had a "young team" every year. Why is that?
Don’t fret, he will.
He did this a year too soon. A&M was very close to beating Bama, and had a brutal schedule.
They lost 4 other games. Beating Bama one time doesn’t make you champs.
It was a HUGE mistake from the signing of the original contract…
Aggie nation, if money is no object, hire Dabo Swinney and Brent Venables. What have you got to lose at this point..
That’s a great leader, owns up and acknowledges the situation he inherited but had to make the best decision for the student athletes and department.
When Ross Bjork gets fired for making another bad call, it will make the headlines.
I don't know much about the business of college football, as crazy as it is, but I do know one thing--Fisher is laughing all the way to the bank with $76M guaranteed! I don't know who sang a song about "getting paid today", maybe Johnny Paycheck, Jimbo is singing that tune all day, everyday!!
How y'all Aggies fairing with the Mark Stoops news 😂
Alumni should walk away from wasting their money by funding this type of discrace.
Alums and the University president should help Ross Bjork pack his bags. Total incompetence! Jimbo Fisher just hit the A&M Power Ball Jackpot.
Glenn Schumann would be my first choice to replace Jimbo Fisher.
So GLAD that Fisher is NO LONGER our coach!! Go NOLES!! 🙌🏽
Guess what? The next coach is going to require a similar buyout.
How can we stop these Division I coaches from walking away with millions of dollars when they get fired? It makes no sense to me that they can get fired and come out ahead for losing. Not smart in my opinion.
You aren't going to get any coach without a contract
@@davidkirkpatrick712, oh they can have a contract but I haven’t seen any worth $77 million to get fired.
I wonder what crazy buyout they gave to Elko.
Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah....................... HIRE BOBBY PETRINO as the new HC NOW! Its a no brainer. He is the man for the job ROSS!
Yet Ross is an egomaniac that can’t see that. He went to a bottom barrel Duke coach that is 16/9! This guy is a F’ing idiot.
Enough about the buyout...it happened, it's covered...MOVE ON! The only thing that matters now is finding the right coach to lead this program.
This interview was days ago I think.
Reminisant of Jim Jones , Johnstown Guyana 🤦....it never ends well at College Station
You’re so right. Gullible af.
He will be fired at the end of the season.
He should have been shown the door with fisher.. No way he should have been involved with hiring the new coach.
we need jason witten as head coach
Sorry football program. Money not an issue? Somehow still can’t sniff the jock of top programs
AD Ross Bjork is a firm leader who took responsibility for his mistake. Texas A&M is in good hands.
Hurts to hear when these guys forget what is important. Look at the elite in the SEC and they have done NONE of this. They focused on the student athlete being elite and creating value. This is embarrassing for A&M.......and anyone who believe this is what is best to do.

OSU has entered the chat
I would have given Jimbo one more year. The schedule for A&M was brutal this year, and any other coach would, at most, have won one or two more games.
What were they going to learn in year #7 that they didn’t learn after the first 6 years?
@@kdean30 they would have made the 12-team playoff and won 2-3 more games because they are at home. The schedule was brutal this year.
@@adamlamparello8701 Everyone knows that Fisher wasn’t going to make the playoffs. He could barely win 8 games a year.
@@kdean30 No coach in the country could have done much better with A&M's brutal schedule
@@adamlamparello8701 Wrong. Saban, Kirby, Harbaugh, Ryan Day, etc. would all have done more with that kind of talent.
With everything that was going on in the world 6 months ago, this is what people cared about? A football coach getting fired?
What makes you this is what people care about? There are dozens of news stories every day, and you can care about more than one thing.

Bc of his relationship with the Mannings did that make Lane “hands off “? He should be the leading candidate and the first guy called. Period.
Who, Lane? Man, y'all can do better than that.
The Mannings are not friends with Kiffen. Kiffen was a minor factor in Arch signing with Texas.
@@doc8013 really? Who?
Lane Kiffin is not a fit for A&M
He tries to talk like Saban
A&M will go 8-4 or 9-3 next year, at best.
Lol why are there dudes just walking in and out of the camera shot. Amateurs
Loading jibes buyout money😂😂
A&M should have fired this joker too. What a waste.
It's your lucky day. He's taking a job at OSU
Hire that lying Lane Kiffin, give him the same deal Jimbo got
Last Chance GM
Scot Woodward is my hero!
Howdy Hoss!
A&M is hopeless. College version of the Chargers/ Cardinals.

Whoa!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
What a joke
A&M is a tier 2 job..
How? Top 10 pay. Great facilities, rabid fans, massive stadium. Only thing lacking is the right coach.

And highest paying job in college sports.
Aggies already made huge mistake on bypassing coach Traylor.
Hotty Toddy Ross! Saddened to see the 100 million dollar man and his defensive coordinator leave. Sure made like easy for Kiffin and Ole Miss
He wasnt worth the extension!!! Everyone knew it but you buddy!!!
Sorry but if you want a National Championship team, history says choose a team other than Texas AM!!!!!
Yea Ross, involve the Federal government in college football negotiations.......great idea goofball! Guy must be a Democrat?
