Not Trolling: Do any Aggies disagree with the way Jimbo handled the question?

Would you have preferred him just own the obvious or do y’all like how defiant he remained on the issue.

Not trying to shite talk y’all the result is what it is.

Question is would you have preferred Jimbo saying “I’m proud of the way our staff and University has adapted to the changing landscape of college football” rather than: “nah we’re too poor to pull off anything like that NIL bullshite”?

If Kelly replied like that you all would be praising him for standing up to the media etc

Love the way he answered... it’s disrespectful to say 30mil was spent on this class

I agree with everything he said. Only a naive fool would say Jimbo was lying or was wrong.

Simple answer. I expect him to use the moment to motivate his team because he’s a coach and that’s what good coaches do.

I do, but I understand his frustration and I am equally irritated. It's "blue-blood" arse hurt at it's finest.

Get used to Aggy running this shite.

Come on Strap-on, you’re better than that….

You can’t state in You’re title “Not Trolling” and have your first line be a troll job.

What “obvious” should he own? What proof do you have of the “obvious”.

Until then, GFYS

If he would have just laughed it off and said “that’s Lane, I guess,” it wouldn’t even be a story. Instead he fed the troll.

I think he had to say it. Part of it was calling out people that were celebrating their own NIL deals and part of it was calling BS on the $30 mill figure. The $30 mill figure was important to call out because it is simply false.

I think a lot of folks don't realize the impact of a false rumor like that with team chemistry if it isn't called out. If a starter at A&M who isn't getting big NIL money thinks a recruit is making $1 million and he isn't then that's a big freaking problem. He was animated for sure but he was also very specific in how he spoke as well. He didn't deny there is NIL but he also made it clear where the lines are and that A&M isn't crossing them.

The other factor is he is just pissed that the implication is A&M just put out a sack of money and suddenly all of these recruits came on board. He and his staff have been talking to many of these guys for years and spent countless hours recruiting them. It pissed him off.

If you guys really believe we spent 30 million, or better yet, that another 8-4 season will get him fired, or that he won’t have a top 5 recruiting class, then I don’t know what to tell you, others schools would pray for all that to happen so A&M remains the status quo, but not LSU, they want Fisher fired for some unknown reason and think they can accomplish that on internet messenge boards, it’s kinda sad the man hours you guys put into it

I wish he had said sliced bread don't know jack shite. The real number is $100M. You want to be rich, come to A&M. Ain't nobody gonna touch our payroll.

I like how he’s taking control of the narrative. You gotta punch back, even when it’s seen as punching down because you’re attacking the entire pathetic LSU fan base that begged you to be their head coach.

I was fine with his answer.

I think he’s more annoyed with Joey Freshwater whining GD much about how unfair it is and then turning around and bragging about being the portal king.

I’d rather have a coach that stands up for his university than a little, whiny, broke arse bitch complaining that his fanbase is too poor to compete.

You obviously didn’t hear the entire news conference. Jimbo was 100 % correct in his defense and pointing out the hypocrisy of Saban, Kifflin and others.

100% in favor of Jimbo's response. Now if he had twerked with a recruit on a video, that would be a different story.

Of course no one would do that, would they?

Jimbo’s not the one starting shite.

Saban and Kiffin are the ones looking themselves in the mirror today.
