Yep. That’s him. I’ve met him a few times and he’s a nice guy. Just has a confidence about him that I think serves him well as AD. And he’s big as shite

Ross Bjork is a next generation Jeff Long. Can't believe A&M hired him.

In Bjork's defense though, he didn't hire Jimbo and he can't really fire Jimbo either considering the scale of the contract Fisher has.

Henry, is that the same Keith Carter who played basketball for y’all back in the late 90’s? He played HS ball in Perryville, AR. I remember going up against that squad several times back in the day. He was a great shooter and got the best of our team a couple times. He was a beast to guard on the perimeter. Kid could shoot and had this swagger about him. Not cocky or anything just always on his game. Now their football team was awful and we usually beat them by about 5 TDs. I’m Class of 95.



One and the same. So far he's done a great job at Ole Miss, especially for an "inside the family" hire. Seen so many of those go bad over the years.

Yeah and he really messed up our stadium. He campaigned for a mirror of the South endzone, then changed his mind, proceeded to frick up the South endzone by cramming some shite in there that didn't belong and stuck some glorified bleachers in the North endzone.

I really wish we could put the South endzone back the way it was before it was Bjorked up.

Your first mistake was letting your AD design your stadium.

Bjork’s “exemplary cooperation” with the NCAA is why we got fricked so hard by them.


It amazes me that there are rubes out there who actually still believe this, after everything that came out.

You should have been thrilled that you didn't get way worse. LOIC due to level 1 violations across multiple programs and coaching staffs, proof of pay for play, a head coach hiring prostitutes using a school phone at a rate that was absolutely too high for his own personal use (read, recruiting tool), etc. Just own it man, you guys were cheating 7 ways from Sunday and got caught. You probably got away with more than you got busted for, just be glad you didn't get what you actually deserved and move on.

At least our probation wasn’t as bad as your self inflicted historic suckage

The state of Texas, and it’s false belief that being from Texas makes you special is all of the Texas school’s problem. They’re the most entitled state in the US. It’s a state culture.

Eh, Woodward was the one who hired jimbo, Bjork came in afterwards. Many of us were uninspired by the hire though, indeed after what happened at ole miss I thought he was a weird choice.



woodward hired him and bjork gave jimbo a crazy extension.

Don't disagree. Bjork loved to extend and raise at Ole Miss too for little production.

The guy gave Matt Luke a big contract, who couldn't win 6 games with 19 future NFL players and a Heisman contender on the roster.
