Mileage Out of a Natty

[cbrown]

Has anyone ever gotten more mileage out of a single national championship than Jimbo Fisher? How much $ has he squeezed out of aTm because of it? He can recruit, but he’s the definition of mediocre as a coach. Even when he manages to beat Alabama he ends up going 8-4.

eh, I know they lost to Appy State today, but A&M was "due" their GA State game like most big schools. It happens.

And honestly, why are we talking about Fisher in any negative way as a vols when theyve got the better program this past decade. Come on. Lets stay in our lane and handle our business.

Kind of like butch beating FL and GA and then losing to SCAR and Vandy to back out of an SEC East Championship?

$75 million, all guaranteed...

He won 3 conference championships, a national championship, and won 10 games or more in 6 of 8 years at FSU. Finished 2nd in the West twice in 4 years in the toughest division in college football. That's not mediocre.

I used to have an old Honda scooter and I could get like 68 MPG’s out of that thing.

Exactly.

Stoops

At least Stoops played for the National title three times after winning it in 2000. Jimbo made the playoffs the year after winning his, but hasn’t been close in the past seven years.

Besides the COVID year which was his best, he’s 13-11 in the SEC. Maybe unexceptional would have been a better choice of words.

Stoops never got a payday like Fisher did

For what he is getting paid at TAMU? Yes he is mediocre.

He is the Elmer Fudd of coaching. I'm surprised he's able to recruit the way he does. He has to be willing to look the other way on some shenanigans or something.

Or we could quit taking every opportunity we can to take shots & bad mouth the team we claim to be fans of, while simultaneously taking up/defending other coaches/programs

I don’t blame fisher for taking money someone else was stupid enough to willingly give you.

Because it's a message board, we are fans of football, and discussion shouldn't be limited to programs worse then us. How about you manage what you talk about and not worry about the rest of us

 

[THEONLYTENISEE]

It’s easier to win in the ACC. Also, the state of Florida produces so many top recruits.

That was his old contract.

They ripped that up a few years ago and did another 10 year $95 million contract instead

Assuming your talking about other folks, unfortunately it happens.

Its the overall body of work. Jurys still out on what he can do at A&M when its all said and done. He's beat Bama, we have not, as an example.

Is he the new Les Miles?

Here’s why Jimbo is thought of as a great coach

If only Gumbo had a generational QB in Collie Station like Crab Legs

LSU wasn't dumb enough to pay Miles that kind of money.
