No
We expect to lose to Miami.
If he has a losing record, I am sure the oil money will start to flow.
I think we're going to see some personnel shifting against Miami, but no telling.

Not immediately. My take is Jimbo will last as long as it takes to fire him "with cause", ie, the administration will self investigate the 2022 recruiting class, and report violations.
He will be "Pruitted".

nope...

Please tell me whoever gave Jimbo that buyout before last season is gone. Who would be that dumb? He is so only coach in the West that would lose to App st with those players.

Guessing Aggie finds a way vs. Miami but could be a rough first half of the season for Jimbo. Either 1-5 or 2-6 are completely within reason...

Agreed. They aren't paying him $80-90 million to go away or riding it out for another 4-5 years if they can fire him for cause, and I doubt an internal investigation into the 2022 recruiting class would make it to lunch on day 1 before finding at least a couple of major infractions.

Jimbo is going to put some money in my pocket. Go Hurricanes!

Jimbo has a 90 million buyout. Getting fired would be awesome for him.
You know how much he owns A&M if he leaves? Hint same number as National Championships they’ve had in the last 90 years.
Then they ask why there's so many Aggie jokes.

I don’t know how to break this to you, but they will not be able to use the tiff with Saban this summer as cause to fire Jimbo. It will be very easy for him to make the argument that such an attempt is just a pretense to avoid the payout, especially since Bjork defended Fisher at the time.
Now if they are able to pull some further dirt connected to the incident or something else comes out of the woodwork, things may be different, but I’d still expect a negotiated settlement at that point.
Pretense is all A&M needs.
Enough to get both parties to the negotiating table, and reach a settlement that lets both sides move on. It won't be an all or nothing bottom line no matter what.

I don’t think such an obvious play by the school, baring anything else happening, will work to bring him to the table. I think it will take something else coming out, like the Pruitt treatment suggestions. But that’s a risky move.
If the wheels don’t come completely off this season, then Fisher better be very careful because you know the dogs will be out looking for any future slip ups to use against him. If things completely fall apart (like multiple losses capped by losing to Carolina) then maybe they try something sooner. But I think they are screwed tbh.

Step 1: Fire dumbass Ross Bjork and replace him with new AD in '22. No use firing Jimbo only to have this dipshit pick the replacement;
Step 2:
Find any reason to fire him for cause and fire him for cause.
Step 3: reach settlement with Jimbo since your for cause argument was bullshite and he knows it.

A Reminder For Our Gracious Hosts Of Their Brilliant AD's Eye For Coaching Talent
LSUs last two coaches were Les Miles and Ed Orgeron.
This school is not known for its eye for coaching talent.

It wouldn't be up to him. If he gets fired and A&M says it's for cause and claims to owe him nothing, he can't just refuse to negotiate and collect 100% of his contract. That's just not how things work.
If he doesn't negotiate he'll get 0%. The ball wouldn't be in his court.
And of all the things you can say about Jimbo, I don't believe for a second that he'll be happy riding off into the sunset with years of negotiatings dragging on that keep him from moving on and coaching somewhere else. He'll want to move on as quickly as possible so he can get back in the game. It's just who he is.
I would expect a settlement to be reached within a year, more likely in time for Jimbo to start a new job with a clear slate the very next season.

And if Cringe U goes 1-9, A&M will still be stuck with Jimbo and can’t afford to fire the lazy…..

Right he would sue them and if their tactic is to claim an argument with Saban that the AD publicly defended him on is the cause he is fired for, I would not negotiate and go straight to trial. Maybe there is an arbitration clause or something, I have not read the contract. But I am telling you the Saban argument approach will not work.
If they try Pruitting him by claiming recruiting violations, that’s a better approach because he may want to avoid all that and come to the table. But it is a big risk for the school to take that approach. Again, I thought money was no issue, just fire him and pay the money.

I'm not talking about an argument with Saban. Allegations of recruting improrieties made the media rounds all summer.
Personally, I think they're BS. But the university wouldn't exactly be coming out of left field to use it as cause for termination.
A&M wouldn't even have to claim there's any legitimacy to the allegations. Even just a claim that allowing an appearance of impropriety to disseminate nationally, constituted a violation of his responsibility to conduct himself as an upstanding representative of the university would be enough to terminate for cause.
Hit the negotiating table, agree to a $30-ish million dollar buyout, cut him a check and both sides move on.

There's no way they're coming up with $90 million dollars and then paying a new coach and staff on top of that.
They could lose the rest of their games this year and he'd still be safe.
Unless they try to frame him for something.
I could see A & M purposely leaking all the evidence of cheating just so they can fire Jimbo with cause.
