There is no way that Jimbo can even be on the list at all. He won a national championship at FSU. In six seasons at TAM he only had one losing season. He finished 2nd in the west twice. He had a winning record in bowl games. He finished 4th in the nation one season. His overall record was 45-25. His 64.2% winning percentage is better than TAM’s all time 58% winning percentage.

Was he overpaid? Yes. Did he fail to meet TAM’s expectations? Yes. Was he a fraud? No.

Will Aggie fans wish he were still their coach in a season or two? Very likely.

I get this in one way, but any time you pay someone $76 million dollars to not coach your team anymore, insinuates that you were sold a false bill of goods and thus, he was a fraud.

This my thought. Overpaid for sure, but he has too much of a career record to be considered the biggest fraud. He could recruit with the best of them and had a career .750 winning %.

Tom Herman was a fraud, with all his supposed MENSA Bulls#it

Charlie Weiss was a fraud, with his rep as the shrewdest offensive mind in the country.

Rich Rod was a fraud, although he did stitch together a three good seasons at WVA.
