    They’re going to be paying him until 2031. Wow.

    Aggies sending out somebody pretending to be their lefty 14 qb in warmups to confuse Ms St is a pretty silly look

    They were like “Damn we lost to a team that got blown out by Mizzou? That’s the final straw.”

    Oh and get this. They didn’t put a mitigation clause in the buyout. They have to pay the whole thing even if he signs another $100 million deal tomorrow. Ross Bjork is a dumbass.

    I wonder if IP will step away from his furniture building to talk to us about how unacceptable it is for state institutions to be paying $76 million buyouts.

    Being a college head football coach really must be something. Even the coaches who are unproven or proven average literally get paid millions to stop doing their jobs and go away.

    Just imagine.

    This is why you don't make panic deals when you think a coach might leave. Especially one that hasn't done shit.

    I think they’re the biggest school in the country by enrollment. They have a massive donor/alumni base.

    And cult members habitually give up their life savings to the cult, so they have that going for them

    Saw it broken down. Cash flow wise it’s pretty easy to manage. He’s owed 20% within 60 days and then less than. 7Mish a year for remainder.

    absurd? Yes

    easily manageable? Also yes.

    They'll hire Kingsbury and end up firing him in 3 or 4 years

    He should have been fired long ago but why fire him off a Win?

    I keep going back to the great coaching search of 2012 here and Jimbos name being thrown around.

    A friend had an in with him and was told when Jimbo was asked if he’d be interested in the Tennessee job he said, “I’ll listen to anybody if the moneys right.”

    Dude got his wish.
