Texas A&M to pursue Jimbo Fisher

Maybe FSU and Fisher take a page out of UF's playbook and come to a mutually agreed decision assumig Jimbo is desperate to leave

He has a $39million dollar buyout, would FSU & TAMU have to have an agreement on how much they owe him if they mutually agreed on parting ways?

TAMU would be making a mistake, they're trapped in the SEC West & under the illusion their program is better than it is.

Classic dumb SEC thinking, you can't replicate Saban & every **** AD in that conference thinks they're going to beat him by hiring all his former assistants.

They don't even realize all the Coaches that have beaten him have a completely different philosophy than him.

Sumlin made it look like it was a legit destination school, despite all the big money boosters they haven't been a relevant program since RC Slocum days in the 90's.

The $40M only applies to FSU firing him. If he walks away, he is on the hook for the remaining assistants contracts which is something in the ballpark of like $4-7M (Which Texas A&M would happily eat).

It's very difficult to just turn things around abruptly when they start to slide. Winning is contagious, and so is losing.....you look at this FSU team, and you see a lot of the signs of a stale, entitled culture.

I'd rather Jimbo stay and have to manage a long, slow decline (that you could argue they are already in the midst of), than allow them to hit the reset button with a whole new coaching staff.

He might as well wait for the LSU job to open up again next season. Oregeron ain't it.

Texas A&M is a horrible job for a front runner like Jumbo, especially with Herman in the state. They don't know it yet, Sumlin is as good as they'll be for a looooong time. Only guy who can turn it around for them is Briles, and we know that ain't happening.
 
Some of you whizzing on TAM are nuts, have you ever been there? It's a great place that has a rabid fanbase even when they suck. They have Texas money and a solid recruiting area in Texas. Also makes me wonder if you've even been to Trailerhassee?

I think there's a lot of truth to this, that team completely **** the bed after they lot their QB, there seems to be a program culture issue.

Ol' Eddie O will be a deadman walking by Labor Day Monday morning next year so what you're suggesting would be the right move. It just assumes that Cuckbo can have FSU looking remotely respectable again next year too which could end up being more difficult than many people think.

Why would another university want him? He is not a good coach! Without the SoFla kids that turned their backs on us, he has a similar record to this year for the prior 3-5 years. He seriously shortened Cook's pro career but without him he had nothing. They don't win the national championship without Kermit. I honesty consider him on the same level as Coker just more experience. I hope he stays at FSU just like Bowden did.

Another season like this one and he might not even be offered the LSU job. If he sucks again next year, then why is he an upgrade from Les Miles?

Boosters have their "guys", and LSU's love them some Jumbo. Kinda like Auburn with Chizik.

I can see him taking the best opportunity to just get out. The Noles are effectively in a rebuild and it's going to be tough for him to build things back up with Clemson and now Miami on the rise.

Never really been impressed with him. He's very fortunate to have taken over FSU during a time when Miami and UF were at their worst.

Texas A&M has more money, more fans, better facilities, a better stadium, better boosters, and at least as good a recruiting base as Florida State.

FSU is nothing but what Bobby Bowden built. And every year that goes by is another year farther away from that legacy. Texas A&M is a good coach away from being a really good program.

That said... Jimbo is not a good coach, and I personally hope he stays at FSU forever.
