Looks like Jimbo Fisher is out.

What makes you think the AD didn't try to go higher and Kirby said nope? Would you be willing to let him walk over his end of a buyout?

Exactly. KS was the hottest coach on the market when he was hired, and he has done nothing but succeed at the highest level. He is one of a small handful of coaches that can pretty much name the terms of his contract. Very few coaches have that kind of leverage.

On the other side, it's very easy to say what universities ought to do, but every year, there are more schools looking for a "name brand" coach than there are coaches looking to make a move. As long as one school is desperate enough to offer terms that benefit the candidates, all schools have to compete with those terms. And, it's not just the ADs decision. These big schools have boosters with influence, and the booster money will always impact an AD's decisions. If the AD doesn't placate the boosters, the school finds a new AD.

How in the blue hell does this guy keep falling up?

Thamel: New AD Target is Ross Bjork from TAMU

Wild! Pretty far off the board of expected candidates imo: Sources: Texas A&M athletic director Ross Bjork has emerged as the target in Ohio State's athletic director search. Search is expected to be finalized in upcoming days. — Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) January 15, 2024

Yeah, the whole Schiano Sunday thing was insane.

Never seen anything like that in my life lol.

I dunno what was worse, the fact that we tried to hire that loser in the first place or Currie panicking after the fans collectively said aww hell naw.

Yep, we should be having PTSD on that whole thing. Schiano episode brought us Fulmer who brought us Pruitt. The damage Pruitt did was sort of like having Biden in charge, but I'm STILL glad Schiano never made it here. The good news is Pruitt screwed up so bad, he missed his buyout. I still like Fulmer even though Pruitt ended up being a dumb hire.
