We're just gonna end up with an underwhelming hire and drive away our recruits. I think the best course of action right now is to keep him until a decent coach becomes available, and by then his buyout will be more manageable. In the meantime, put pressure on him to make some significant changes.

If you fire Jimbo, pay his buyout and offer the same deal, you’ll get any coach you want.

Trivia question: What ring was Bear buried with?


He was buried with the ring that the junction boys gave him. Great movie!

if we fire Jimbo
does Jimbo get to keep the trophy y'all gave him at his introduction? or will the engraved plate just be replaced with the new coach's name?

Sonny Dykes' offense > Jimbo's. give that Red Raider a call and maybe he'll answer.

Jimbo will get at least another year to see what he can do with his "best recruiting class of ALL TIME"

He will watch as 90% of that class hits the transfer portal and reap no benefits of his greatest class ever.
Think Star Gate...lol

Keep Fisher for as long as he’s recruiting at a high level. If recruiting falls off - get the buyout ready.

With the money y’all will pay, yes

That said, hiring new coaches is almost always a gamble regardless of how proven they may have been elsewhere. There’s so many variables and every circumstance is unique. Very hard to know you hired a guy who will win

Don't sweat it. You have the resources and the surrounding talent - the most important items.

You're easily top 6 or 7 in the SEC (I have you in the top 6, with Florida out).

Having Texas in the league will actually make you better - there with be more urgency and blood thirsty competition.

You just have to go through the churn with coaches and/or coordinators. Just look at the recent history of all top SEC schools. Everyone goes through it. Saban is just the once in a lifetime exception. Jimbo will hire an offensive coordinator and if it doesn't work out, Jimbo be fired in 2 years. Then you have more hope.

There is no reason to fire Jimbo, y’all are Texas 8&4 and always will be. When Texas get here y’all are right back to little brother status and will remain there until the aliens arrive and take over the planet, ending college football!


Impossible to have a better answer.

Make him serve out his contact or quit and make him uncomfortable enough to do the latter.
