Didn't atm coach get a raise and extension?

The purpose of the thread, like everything else OP posts.

He's had trouble accepting that A&M can pay whatever to whomever. Not sure why. But he's really struggling.

Honestly, the more "important" your job becomes the less important it is to be 100% right rather than right more often than not. I use important loosely because all jobs are important, but I guess the better term would be the more powerful your job is.

CEOs, CIOs for large funds, presidents, ministers, etc. will always make mistakes, the key is making more right decisions than wrong decisions. Data entry and administrative type jobs more or less require 100% accuracy. The US President is going to "fail" no matter what in some people's eyes. Even if they are doing what's best for the country, people are going to think they are wrong. You know what a large fund manager gets when they get 100% of their investments right? An insider trading investigation.

A professional gambler. If you could win 66.7% of your bets, you'd be a billionaire in no time.

What about a coach that has gone 7-6 and 4-8 since joining a real conference?

If he's an LSU fan I would assume it's because we raised more in one year than their entire endowment.

You would be stacking paper very high as a sports gambler if you hit at a 66% clip.

Was outed as a TCU fan in the MSB. Of course since NIXON was president the last time they beat A&M, I can see how we're in his head. After all, his school was an "upgrade" from us.
