The year of big programs finding new coaches continues. Jimbo Fisher officially resigns from FSU to join A&M.
 
So he isn't coaching in the final game... maybe they lose and don't make it to a bowl game...

lol just kidding, they will still win and extend their streak.
 
Great move for A&M. Weird mive for Jimbo. He is in a much tougher conference now. So...who goes to FSU?
 
Tennessee can't get an usher to accept $4 million a year, and aTm makes one call and steals a national title winning coach from one of the meccas of football.
 
Just trying to get you guys worked up is all...all in good fun. I came over to see if anyone had brought it up yet. Frost is coming unless FSU throws a ton of money his way for some reason
Frost has said that money isn't really an issue when choosing where to coach
 
Everyone is forgetting about Arkansas. What is going to happen with them?
Last I heard, they thought they could steal Malzahn from Auburn. But they probably plan to finish up their AD search before starting on their coaching search.

You may not believe this, but the money thing isnt at the top of the list for him, especially when we are talking about someone who is already going to making a ton of money

FSU might be the best job opening yet. They are built to win right now with a good QB. They should have no trouble filling that spot.
 
I think Frost to Nebraska is done, BUT, if you want to win a National Championship, you can sure do that more quickly at FSU than you can at Nebraska.
 
It's amazing what backing a few of these up will get you!

I think the general consensus around here is that ESPN is not that great when it comes to ‘sources’, but their article says that from a source, FSU would prefer to hire a minority if it worked out correctly. So the main targets were Willie Taggart, Kevin Sumlin, and Charlie Strong...didn’t even mention Frost as a top target.

Never has been, also he played 6 years in the league so he was set financially before he ever got into coaching.

True, I think he's coming here because of family and Tom Osborne. He wants to be close to them while he still can, and I really believe he wants to bring the program back to the top because of Osborne.

That is true, but everyone has a point where it is tough to turn down the money offered. That is all I meant by that.
 
I believe a deal has been agreed to in principle at least. I don’t know if a contract is signed. But I don’t think there is likely going back at this time.
 
Call me crazy but I think this is potentially a good move. A national championship winning coach going to A&M which is in close proximity to Houston, which is just oozing with talent, more than most states.

Yes same division as Saban but as I’ve said before, Saban isn’t going to coach forever.

But...we will see can the guy really coach, or was he just lucky that he got Jameis Winston?

Call me crazy (my wife already does) but I just don't see Jimbo as a good fit anywhere in Texas. He seems like kind of a goofball and A&M just spent a fortune on him. No idea if he will win there but I wouldn't have wanted him here. Just my two cents.

It's a good day at my house if my wife only calls me crazy.
