That's right.   Everybody says that!   
Hence why Alabama only gets 1 really good class every 3-4 years.   And they just ride each of those classes to #1 rankings and National Title games every single year.  Then wait to reload after another 3-4 years!!1!!1!1!

When will Jimbo the HC fire Jimbo the OC?

Must have taken classes from the "Seth Littrell School of Looking for Moral Victories Where There Are None." Just elite level mind games.

Serious question...when did Dickey stop being the OC?

Jimbo really is playing 4D Chess. Unfortunately for him, the teams he plays are playing football!

I don't think he ever called plays. I could be wrong, but I think that's part of the issue in College Station right now. He has too big of an ego to change his archaic offense.

Still one of the OCs - He just moved to TEs and they have another coach handling QBs. That move has not worked to well.

He was never anything more than OC in title only

[MeanGreen4Life1998]

Jimbo is a good HC and has shown he can win but his loyalty to crap assistants at FSU and now his giant ego at A&M have hurt him. A&M can easily buy him out if they need to but I suspect he’ll get one more year and be expected to hire a new OL coach and an OC. He’ll have a blank check for both

As a big fan of second and even third chances, it’s inspiring to see Durkin move from helping kill kids to just helping slowly kill rich programs.

I know Jimbo is near so we hear more, but if I was a fan of Michigan State I would be even more concerned. Why in the name of (insert anything you want here) did they give Mel Tucker a 10 year $90 million deal? They are 1-4 this year against P5 teams.

Didn't he throw the ball like 40 times a game during his tenure at Memphis or are college football seasons just all melting together in my brain at this point?

Yeah, I think so. But I’m right there with you. They all run together.

I am hearing his buyout is $86 million. If that's easy, then so be it, but it has got to hurt even for A&M. Now I don't feel so bad for our buyout if we move on from SL. They paid Jimbo all that money to do no better than what Sumlin was doing.

I wish I could find the study from about 10 years ago. Someone studied the records of FBS teams that replaced a head football coach with the goal of winning more games within the next 2 years and sustaining that. The study showed over a ten or more year period that worked about 40% of the time if I remember correctly.

No they can’t. They are stuck with him for awhile.

You’re don’t understand the amount of money they have. My grandfather was a TAMU booster 1970s-2000s and I can promise you they had and still have the money for essentially anything. We know some current boosters who can tell you just how few people it would take to pay the rest of his buyout. Hell one family made a $25mil donation last week like it was nothing. They aren’t stuck whatsoever

For A&M, $86mil is nothing to them. The people we know who are still boosters can easily explain just how few people it would take to pay off his contract

The head coach is only one part of the puzzle.  Like the NFL, an elite or upper level QB in college is also a requirement to be successful.  Quality PK doesn't hurt either!

I know this is a bad old dad joke, but that’s proof they have more dollars than sense.

They will not buy him out at that kind of contract.  They just wont.

I think this is very true for them. Their QB play has been abysmal
