It’s pretty obvious that he was given too much power at first. But let’s not keep pretending that he wasn’t made to hire the OC.
And the buyout was not a get out of jail free card, and leverage could be exercised if Jimbo continued his stubbornness.
So the leverage was exercised when he was fired.

How did they "make" him hire the OC?
They apparently couldn't "make" him let Petrino run the offense fully?

Now Jimbo just gets paid and doesn't have to do anything.

Wasn't it though?
A&M is far from alone in overpaying for a coach but certainly the amount was high and the apparent administration leverage by the contract was reduced.
FWIW Elko might work out. And I don't blame A&M for either hire really. They overpaid in retrospect for Jimbo but they took a chance worth taking even if the amount of the contract was pretty high.
