“I think it’s huge. Again, with the future and what you have here, which we believe is extremely bright; where we’re going and what we’re doing with these guys, playing together and being together,” Jimbo Fisher said.
“I think for the seniors, it’s a great sendoff and the last time they walk into that stadium. And another lesson on perseverance, not letting circumstances dictate who you are and what you are. But how you deal with them and preserve through. I think it would be great for those seniors and a great message for these young players heading into the offseason.”

If there aren’t enough teams with at least six wins to fill all the available bowl slots, then 5-7 teams could potentially be slotted into a bowl game. However, when he was asked about this on the Jimbo Fisher Radio Show, Fisher immediately shot the idea down.
“No,” Jimbo Fisher succinctly said.

For a coach who is normally happy to speak his mind, Jimbo Fisher chose not to expand on why he wouldn’t want that. After all, a lot of coaches like to go to a bowl game because it gives their team extra practice time that teams that don’t make a bowl don’t get.

He's still the richest overgrown oompa loompa in all of history and no one can take that from him

Why would he want to work for an extra game when he gets paid no matter what?
On a serious note, I’m not sure how excited I’d be to see A&M in a bowl this year. It’d be a nothing bowl against a lame opponent that would probably beat us, and whatever is left of our roster would probably opt out.

I don't blame him. If they beat LSU there isn't a bowl matchup they'd qualify for where a win would be any bigger than beating LSU and a loss against a middling team would dissipate the steam from that win
And of course the most likely outcome is they end up 4-8 and then they're for sure not getting a bowl invite because they go to 5-7 teams to fill the gaps first.
No point in worrying about it, the LSU game IS their bowl game.

He doesn’t need to worry about a bowl or beating lsu. Neither will happen.

Wait a second.
Reading between the lines here…
The bowl invite would be extended to the school, not to Jimbo.
Jimbo is contractually obligated to coach football games at A&M.
If he refuses to coach, we have cause.

He is just trying to keep an attainable goal for the team.

This part is extremely well said and is damn near impossible to get kids that age to understand. Well, at least my kid that age doesn't get it.

RIP the last sliver of doubt anyone had about dodging Wake Forest last year.

Sidewalk Ag with the daily Texas A&M report. Like the sun rising.

Why would he accept a bowl invite only later to forfeit the game?

A bowl invite? We all saw that crowd at the UMass game. A 5 win aggy team that is a walking disaster is not getting a bowl invite. Not to mention LSU is going to beat them senseless.
Jimbo was a herculean mistake by aggy. It's glorious to watch.

That would be an extra game he would have to work for that money. Why do that when he’s getting paid regardless?

Jimbo outright saying he didn’t want the extra bowl practices to get ready for next year is similar in its idiocy to Mike Brown (Bengals owner) saying a few years ago that he didn’t want any home games late in the season because of cold weather.
