It was a mistake now, but at the moment his options are 1. Do nothing and Lsu likely takes him. 2. Give him money to stay and not restart this whole process again. I think at the time everyone thought Jimbo was doing a good job. Ranked 2/3 seasons. Top 5 finish. There was no reason to believe he'd go 19-15.

It’s definitely a hindsight 20/20 thing. We were coming off a #4 finish the year before, looked like Jimbo was building the program into a regular contender and LSU now lead by Woodward was looking. Remember that Bjork is more of a puppet when it comes to football decisions and is told what to do more so by the big money donors.
What I thought was interesting is listening to the Loochadoor show on Sunday with Texags radio, Liucci said he didn’t think Sexton demanded the 9.5 and fully guaranteed extension back to 10 years. Was just more of a “we need to up his compensation or otherwise lsu may steal him”. If he’s right and those terms weren’t demanded by the agent, somebody at A&M is a fool. What should’ve happened was just bump him to 9ish and keep his current contract where it was. He’d have 4 years of the contract remaining at this point and 36 mil is a lot less than 77. Why go further than necessary? Maybe Sharp’s comment “we signed him to 10 because we couldn’t get 15” was a true statement. We need to get rid of Sharp at some point….
