Living up in the Seattle area, I can tell you that UW fans are not very loyal nor rabid. The Huskies will always be a distant 3rd to the Seahawks and Sounders.

I think it’s hilarious you’re using this news to try to show everyone how good and rational of a fan you are, but you do you. I am going to use it to be excited about A&M football for the first time in over a year
Yes that it. I want to show everyone what a good rational Aggie I am. It has nothing to do with me not wanting us to rush in to grab a guy who is running away from a $40 million golden parachute in a year he is 4-6. It's just silly to be upset we are yet again refusing to have a real coaching search because reasons.
He won 10 games at TCU and Alabama! No need to interview anyone else!
He was a winner as an NFL HC and an OC in a Super Bowl! No need to interview anyone else!
He's the hottest name and is killing it at Coog High! No need to interview anyone else!

The trolling is most obvious by comparing the resumes of Fran Sherman and Sumlin to Fisher’s FYI
Posted on 11/22/17 at 12:35 pm to ShaneTheLegLechler
Yes that it. It's trolling b/c you don't agree and don't like what I'm saying.
Well I'm sorry but I'm not trolling.
I will repeat, it is 100% stupid to refuse to interview anyone else. It is even dumber to just say oh look at the good stuff on his his resume. No worries about the bad stuff! No reason to ask him about it in an interview!
You should never hire purely by resume or without him actually setting foot at the place where he will work. Ever. You are far more likely to frick up when you do that.
And when you are about to give out a 8 year contract that will be nearly impossible to get out of? Good lord, why is it so hard for some of y'all to accept that it's smarter to interview more than one candidate for the job?
shite, A&M can't even hire Jimbo until December 3 at the earliest. Early signing doesn't start until Dec 20. You're telling me that we can't interview one single other coach from Nov 26 through say... Dec 10 just to make sure that Jimbo is the right guy? There is no point in reaching out to Gary Patterson, Chris Pedersen, Urban Meyer or whoever else might be worth kicking the tires on?

The problem has been we don't have real coaching searches. The problem is we have been hiring coaches who are friends with the right people instead of actually going out and talking to multiple people before making our decision.
We haven't even fired our coach, much less hired a new one. But I guess it's never to early to start whining

I've noted that he has been trending down since 2015. I am not only taking about this season. Starting with the blowout loss to Oregon in the playoff he has seven double digit losses and three 30+ point losses. It's taken Richt exactly two years to turn Miami into the better team. Dabo clearly has Clemson a step above them.
I am not saying that Jimbo should be disqualified b/c of these are things.
They are concerning enough however that I don't think he should get a total pass on it nor do I believe that we should give him a monster contract without actually interviewing other potential HCs. If he is willing to leave FSU and a $40 million buyout he should be willing to wait a couple more days while we do our due diligence.

Short of Sumlin beating LSU so badly that we'd be a laughing stock for firing him the writing is on the wall.

The strawmans and pure made-up bs in this thread are what keep me coming back. The cfb coaching carousel is more entertaining than games themselves these days

Talking to agents doesn't mean spit. If it's not a full interview then I don't care. It doesn't have to be those guys either. I simply want us to interview more than one guy before giving out the (at minimum) 3rd highest paid contract in NCAA football. Is that really so much to ask?

If you have you’re guy then I don’t see the point of interviewing others outside of back up plans and to go through the experience.

Here is just one of many studies that show that we don't really need to interview any of these candidates at all. Interviews are notoriously low in predictive value for job performance. But I guess don't let that stop you from coming up with arbitrary criteria for what constitutes an adequate search.

He's not trending down, good lord. Last season, less than 11 months ago, his team finished #8 in the country. He signed the #6 class in the country this past February and currently has the #10 class. He's in the middle of one crappy station due to injuries and some bad luck, sure, but his team is not in the middle of some tailspin. Next year FSU will finish in the top 15 no matter who's at the helm (unless we hire Fisher and they hire Derek Dooley).

i think the most interesting thing that really hasnt been discussed is that looch pretty much said we are going with petersen if we miss out on jimbo
Wait, WATWATWHAT?!?!
While I’d be ok with jimbo, I very much want me that west coast boss Petersen. Time to reunite our ad, president and new fighting Texas Aggie football coach here in Aggieland. Get me some of that NW.
Also, does this ad know what he’s doing? I’ve heard very little about him or from him since arriving. I need someone to put me at ease and tell me there is a grownup in the room and that he’s going to take care of business

He's trending WAY the frick down. He lost his goddamn team this year! He's headed for a 5 win season, which is worse than Sumlin (who is NOT the answer) ever did here by far. If he was on foot instead of flying he'd literally be running away from the giant mess he's made of FSU by coming here.
Holy shite, guys. Y'all are hornier for Jimbo than a chick who just smoked meth. Aside from Dr. RC, who y'all should listen to because he's speaking the TRUTH, y'all have completely abandoned reason and sense. It's embarrassing.

Yeah 2 of y’all think Jimbo is a terrible hire, the rest of us are either ambivalent or for it, but we are the crazy embarrassing ones....all I see is you melting over this hire on this thread.
Look, you just can’t have it the way you want. If a guy had multiple natties, no less than 9 wins in 5-10 years, and lots of conference ships, he wouldn’t be available. So many of y’all are looking for the perfect guy, without a flaw, and he doesn’t exist. Saban, Meyer, and Swinney aren’t going anywhere (swinney might go to bama after saban leaves) everybody else is going to have a smudge or two on their resume. I cant believe how “sure” some of y’all are that one of four active head coaches with a national championship is a bad hire.
Quit melting and let what’s going to happen, happen.
