Actually he states "numbers earlier reported by Billy L" not that he was the source. Journalists credit the first person to report a story as a professional courtesy. The way it is written he clearly had secondary collaboration of the story.

That said it doesn't matter really, he stayed at A&M.
I have no doubt though that had Jimbo taken the LSU job that Tiger fans would feel very differently about him and would certainly be loving that you stole our coach.

I mean you guys are acting like hiring Kelly, who hasn't even really won a big game much less a NC and has been embarrassed every time he used the ND brand to get in the Playoffs as if he is the second coming and dismissed all of his many faults. It's what fans do. Kelly is in his honeymoon right now before he plays a game and everyone is drinking kool aid, let's see how things go after some adversity or even after this recruiting class is in the books.

How would you know?

The source in the tweet proved incorrect on the Kelly hire amount, by quite a lot. That is a fact. But don't let facts steer your narrative!

It gets quite boring proving you wrong on so many occasions. Carry on little man.

I think that was Dennis Dodd and Pete Thamel saying it was $15M/year. Not sure about McMurphy.

Questionable source. Unlikely correct.

No, it’s full of fools taking an aggy insider’s word as gospel when he’s gotten other things wildly wrong.

This is fake news, but carry on.


Brett McMurphy is a decently credible source.

Which is likely why LSU fans are melting so hard over it.

You guys turn everything into a pissing contest, and now you can't deal. I don't think I've ever seen a more delusional fanbase in my life in any sport.

Seems like a lot of money for such an overrated coach. Does that purple AD read the rant?

And his primary source is the ag I referenced. Check the last line of his tweet.

Oh frick off with your self-righteousness. Your fans would go scorched Earth if a “report” as shaky as this one was levied against your school.

You LSU frickers will deny your on mother if there is pictures of you coming out of the womb! Jimbo is more than happy where he is at. All he wants is to have full control of a football team and enjoy big property.

Well, you are wrong and don't understand journalism.

Cry more. This thread in itself is a prime example of my point.

Most people would not give a frick about this. I don't give a shite that multiple people turned down Alabama back in 2007. And not just because we ended up with Saban. That's the way shite goes, if someone turns it down, on to the next guy.

But not LSU fans. Because as I said, you guys turn EVERYTHING into a pissing contest. You guys have bashed Jimbo and A&M for years. And now, after all that time, it's turned out that your AD not only wanted Jimbo, but you got turned down.

LSU fans who have banked everything on these stupid pissing contests can NOT handle the the thought of being rejected. Above all else, you guys will NEVER admit to any such things.

There are a few level headed LSU fans around here(not you), but for the most part everything I'm saying is 100% truth.

Jimbo did get a big raise and contract extension back in August when he and Woody first started talking.

Again, LOLSU fans are so misinformed. This has been discussed at length on this board for months. There is this thing called Google that you can use to keep from making yourself look stupid. Try it sometime.

There you go aggy, it’s your dream come true, like the sausage flying off the table right in front of the dog. LSU *did* really want your coach! Even more than Coach Kelly!

Nobody is taking the report at face value since it’s probably just saving face, but don’t let that stop you! We’re just jelly of aggy success

At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if Aggie makes a “LSU Offered Our Coach” ring. Pathetic program

They certainly changed their tune about Kelly and ND football. Two weeks ago he sucked and they would be mid pack in the SEC.

Jimbo would win a natty at LSU. We've established that Texas 8&4 is just that. An 8&4 program.

I don't see why this matters.

@liucci was off by a few million on Kelly, so this tweet is fabricated as well. But you probably already know this.

So, when will aggie extend Jimbo's contract and give him more money, you know, since he is so highly desired?
