They are playing 4d chess with A&M. What's lost in all of this, is the REAL reason Aggie extended Jimbo wasn't his record. It was the fact that LSU was sniffing around after Ed O. got fired. So A&M gave him an outrageous contract and the rest is history.

Well played LSU. Well played.

Oh , and don’t forget our AD hired him and then bolted with the quickness.

Scott Woodward truly is the GOAT.

Jimbo has a history of doing this. LSU can't take any credit, he destroyed aTm program all by himself.
In all honesty, Woody dodged a bullet by getting out of there before the consequences of the hire came back around and the interest when the LSU job was open was a hollow gesture. Woody was working Kelly by making it look like he was interested in Jimbo, that's the 4D chess move.

OP, you have explained exactly what went down.

Aggy got suckered by LSU big-time.

Jimbo is destroying the program on his own, but A&M can thank LSU for his massive buyout which means them can't get rid of him...

Do you really think LSU's idiot AD had some Machiavellian scheme planned? They wanted Jimbo and got lucky A&M gave him more money. Simple as that.

Eh the Aggy brass wanted Jimbo for the reasons mentioned above. Woodward made it happen with a shitload of their money.

And the extension happened almost 2 years after Woodward was at LSU.

Jimbo will leave A$M in worse shape than FSU when it is all done.

The damage to A$M will be so much worse. The SEC is the worst conf to get knocked to the bottom and have to work their way up in. Reputation with TX kids with other options in TX alone is going to be devastating. Boosters will have a harder time ponying up monies AGAIN in hopes of what they were promised the first time around. Briges have been burned.

Sorry to break it to you, Woodward had no serious interest in Jimbo last year. Maybe when Les was fired but not last year.
