First, I'll lead off with saying that I like the idea of him returning to LSU... the first time they danced with the idea. But the second time... they danced, yeah, not so much. He's had his moments but I think he used LSU twice to skyrocket his value and now, I'm glad he is where he is.

So now, Aggies... when will y'all consider this hire to be a good investment? That school has paid out a lot of money and they haven't even sniffed being an SECW Runner Up.

They were runner up in the west his very first season. Seems weird to need to lie about it.

Aggie goals are about the same as Ole Miss goals. Those are the only SECW teams that haven’t been to an SEC Championship game.

Well I apologize for missing the banner at Kyle Field and I wouldn't intentionally lie about your team. So go frick off (TRUTH!) and I'll take your bullshite answer as "FarmerFred1906" is happy with Jimbo's success!!

Is this considered good return on investment at A&M?

Genuinely asking, bc at LSU finishing second in the West gets you fired.

They need to be in the NY6 either this year or next.

He's sitting on top the SECW, the SEC, and the Nation. Try again.

Back to the topic at hand: is second in the SECW, ostensibly Jimbo's ceiling, considered good ROI in college station?

YES! Another thread about Aggy by an LSU fan! Just what we needed!

When will I come to the rant and not see a thread about Jimbo's salary or job status?

For the billionth time, Jimbo is not going anywhere. He could win 8 games for the next 8 seasons and we are hitched long term.

Where are the threads about Arkansas paying Chad Morris millions to literally not win a single SEC game?

LSU is always so rustled by aggy

Agree, but this wasn't what was asked.

"When will the Aggies consider Jimbo a good investment?" was the question...that has yet to be answered by any of the multiple ags ITT.

I’d like to see Texas A&M give Jimbo a raise just to piss off LSU

I will bet he does this but even better averages 9 wins a season. That's a 75% regular season winning %. Given that 2 of those wins will be rent a wins every season it still means, most likely, 3 conference losses every season. There are many coaches who could win 8-9 games a year at TAM for a lot less money but when you have new money it is typical to spend it lavishly....Its a good thing TAM fans are happy with 3-4 losses a year because that is their future....

The ROI on recruiting was pretty quick. We haven't recruited this well and consistently since the R.C. Slocum days. Sumlin notched some amazing classes but that obviously went to crap. We landed the 3rd and 6th ranked class the last two years so hopefully that translates into a more competitive product.

If not, I will say we have fools gold with Coach Jimbo.

Nobody cares. Why would anyone lie about that? It's worthless.
