This has all the symptomatic earmarks of an EPIC Fail.
The same kind of contrast between the Texas Rangers and the New York Mets.

The ego of Texas oil money cannot be satisfied. It is exactly what is wrong with both of the flagship programs in the state...they can not control their donors. Auburn has the same issues and apparently Miami does also... It is one thing to convince a well-heeled jock sniffer to donate to the program. It is another thing to accomplish that and when that jock sniffer tries to make gameday decisions etc tell them that is not what they paid for. Good coaches accomplish this to some degree. No one will be able to accomplish it at a Texas university to any sort of extent because Texans ain't having it...the donors that make a difference at both ATM and UT are the truck nut class of wealthy power brokers...tacky as hell and ain't nobody gonna tell them what they can and can't do...
Yep, you don’t pony that much money for just good of the program…you do it because you want power and control.

Your boosters just committed $77M to get their way, so they obviously have some say in the matter and will likely expect more of that moving forward.
What is your expectation of what this funding arrangement is supposed to look like? Do you think a $77M buyout is funded by selling tickets and concessions?
Jimbo was given everything he asked for (including approval of hiring the AD) but was ultimately not a good enough coach to roll all of that into wins. He didn’t fail because of booster meddling.
