JImbo is wearing golden handcuffs. HIs buyout is 2023: 76.8 Million, 2024 67.55 million, 2025: 58.2 million
The way Jimbo's Florida State team had his last two seasons in Tallahassee did not warrant a big contract that Texas A&M authorized. Jimbo has capatilized off of Saban's name.
Do you think “Oil Guys” and ATM care about money? Especially when Texas is coming into the SEC? That buyout is chump change….
You get it. With Bobby Petrino on board they will show enough improvement to keep Jimbo at least one more year.
Who knows what motivates him. If he is like most of us, money is important. Mike's salary at Duke is 1.8 million. He could jump ship to a bigger program. Earn several millions more a year, and have the best medical care and everything else.
Jimbo has a huge buyout in his contract. It would have cost A&M about 90 million to get rid of him last year. It probably will cost them at least 75 million to fire him this season. Jimbo is already rich. If A&M deposited an extra 75 million into his bank account Jimbo probably walks away with a huge smile on his face.
Yep. I know the Aggies have deep oil money, but that’s going to likely keep Jimbo around another few seasons. Makes the Muschamp contract look like a drop in the bucket. Not really sure why they would take this much money and invest it in a coach that was already struggling at FSU, but to each their own.
They aren't boxed in. In that situation, WE would be boxed in. Most people would be boxed in. They aren't boxed in. Their position is wasteful and foolish, but they have the wherewithal to do whatever they need to do whenever they feel compelled to do it.
They wish they could, but with those numbers it just isn't feasible and everyone in Texas knows it.
