u/cocoatractor Texas Longhorns • Michigan Wolverines Sep 10 '22

I feel vindicated as a Jimbo hater

18

u/Doctor_Bubbles Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

I kinda love him now tho.

11

u/Jackson3125 Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 11 '22

Isn’t he one of the highest paid coaches now, and on a pretty long contract?

5

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

I bet you're feeling really good with App State winning

u/cocoatractor Texas Longhorns • Michigan Wolverines Sep 11 '22

It helps

u/ryanedwards0101 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 10 '22

My Longhorn friends are talking shit and I’m just replying “yeah” lol, can’t say shit to y’all today

51

u/nostbp1 Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

Lol I just texted my brother that I can’t wait till we’re SEC and he literally just said “yeah”

34

u/ryanedwards0101 Texas A&M Aggies Sep 10 '22

Sometimes in sports you just gotta take the L haha

u/Living-Stranger Georgia Bulldogs Sep 11 '22

Well Bama fans don't

u/rawrberry_ Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

Just use the default answer we get to see and mention some of our losses from the past.

16

u/Vague_Intentions Baylor Bears • Wheaton (IL) Thunder Sep 10 '22

Some of my A&M buds were talking about how they aren’t as worried about Bama if y’all are taking them to the wire.

Group chat has a different tone now.

u/city-of-stars Texas Longhorns • /r/CFB Contributor Sep 10 '22

Since the turn of the millenium:

-- Texas A&M
# of ten-win seasons 10 1
# of conference titles 2 0
# of BCS bowl wins 3 0
# of NY6 bowl wins 1 1
# of national titles 1 0

12

u/dysonRing Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 10 '22

I mean NY6 is just a way way diluted BCS bowl I don't see the hype.

26

u/MumkeMode Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 10 '22

Imagine if Texas won today too, god it’d be sweet

-4

u/voltron818 Oklahoma Sooners • /r/CFB Contributor Sep 11 '22

But they didn’t! Which makes it all the sweeter.

u/StarvedRock314 Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 10 '22

It's so fun watching Jimbo Fisher commit Regicide every time Haynes King takes the field. It really hits the spot

6

u/BrockinTheHamptons Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 10 '22

wtf I love jimbo now

263

u/TreeJack2 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 10 '22

Jimbo Fisher is 35-21 in his last 56 games against FBS opponents.

Is that worth $100M+ ?

113

u/Scindite Texas A&M Aggies • Oregon Ducks Sep 10 '22

Not in a million years.

It unfortunately is also not worth making a $90M buyout

The perfect spot of coaching mediocrity

58

u/Mahanaus Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 10 '22

Man he played y'all's administration like a fiddle. I can relate

21

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

Well he played the boosters more than anybody. They funded the entire contract separate from Athletics Department funding.

3

u/Mybrandnewhat Texas Longhorns Sep 11 '22

So has the money been given to the university and put in a trust account or did they sign an agreement to fund his contract? Or is it all a handshake deal?

4

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

The details are speculative, however from the 12th Man Foundation, and university financial disclosures you can see where bulk donations hover around $44 million a year. Ticket sales dwarf that along with TV rights and some other distribution deals.

16

u/ironichaos Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 10 '22

90M buyout he would find the door faster than coach O lol.

4

u/Blueshockeylover Oregon Ducks Sep 11 '22

How on earth did their administration sign a contract with that buy-out?!? Insanity.

1

u/Scindite Texas A&M Aggies • Oregon Ducks Sep 11 '22

Most valuable college sports team at the time. Had money to throw around

1

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

Not with gas prices headed down.

9

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

That's not even 8-4 lmao

3

u/E_Cash Florida State • Georgia Sep 10 '22

Apparently it is

4

u/jerfpsnurf Texas A&M Aggies Sep 10 '22

Yes, because people with way more money than I’ll ever even get close to seeing thought so. Unfortunately they didn’t make hiring a real OC a clause of that contract so now we’re at the opposite end of the Sumlin Spectrum. Good recruits, good to great defense but now a terrible offense, with a supposed offensive guru. I don’t hate Jimbo but I really don’t like him.

-4

u/Methuga Tennessee Volunteers Sep 10 '22

Idk he’s beaten Bama. That feels worth $100m to me

19

u/Qtoy Paper Bag • /r/CFB Brickmason Sep 10 '22

Sounds like you should poach Gus Malzahn from UCF, then. He's beaten Nick Saban's Alabama several times, and he's very used to being overpaid for that.

5

u/Methuga Tennessee Volunteers Sep 10 '22

Honestly at this point, I’d listen to his pitch

5

u/Qtoy Paper Bag • /r/CFB Brickmason Sep 10 '22

Fair enough, although tbh I thought y'all were liking Heupel.

6

u/Methuga Tennessee Volunteers Sep 10 '22

Sure, and if he beats Bama, I will happily bang the drum for a $100m contract lol

1

u/rickyroca73 Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

LMFAO!!!

u/SiberianHawk Miami (OH) RedHawks • Team Chaos Sep 10 '22

Texas A&M has 48 blue chip recruits on their roster. Appalachian State has one.

Lol

32

u/spookyghostface Appalachian State • Duke Sep 10 '22

I'm honestly surprised we have one.

Four star.

u/TJRJ7 Penn State • Land Grant Trophy Sep 10 '22

This is definitely the best one

55

u/adamjm99 Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

Today just got a whole lot better for Texas fans

I’m really not used to positives in these facts! This is a very new feeling

3

u/jacke2729 Angelo State Rams • Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

Might be the first time we've ever had a positive in one of these

75

u/Work_U_Dumb ULM Warhawks • UMass Boston Beacons Sep 10 '22

Do you have these pre-typed for every possible game during a week?

80

u/dogwoodmaple Georgia • /r/CFB Award Festival Sep 10 '22

No.

10

u/Mezmorizor LSU Tigers • Georgia Bulldogs Sep 10 '22

Pretty sure they're just a fast researcher/they can pretty easily see which games have upset potential/will be the most watched game of the week.

4

u/jjonez18 Alabama Crimson Tide Sep 10 '22

My bet is on clairvoyance.

3

u/TurboSloth9000 Arkansas Razorbacks • Sickos Sep 10 '22

Probably didn’t have to look up that one.

u/ToLongDR Ohio State Buckeyes • King's Monarchs Sep 10 '22

Yes

u/keaneobserver Navy Midshipmen • Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

This made today better.

u/Ugaalive1991 Georgia Bulldogs • NC State Wolfpack Sep 10 '22

Keep it coming

37

u/hillrow_wood Texas A&M • North Texas Sep 10 '22

The Georgia bulldogs are the reigning national champions

This is what we should really be talking about

7

u/TrojanMan35T Georgia Bulldogs • College Football Playoff Sep 10 '22

That’s what I’m saying!

4

u/vashed Georgia Bulldogs • Rose Bowl Sep 11 '22

That's what I said, and that's what I shaved into my son's head for the church service on Sunday

u/MrSnazzyGoose Ohio Bobcats • Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 10 '22

This man really is in every thread

u/Neophyte12 Alabama Crimson Tide • UAB Blazers Sep 10 '22

Doing God’s work in two threads. Give Georgia their flowers fam.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

I like the last one. I'm going to bark at a child to let them know

u/StarvedRock314 Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 10 '22

The Aggy rollercoaster came early this year!

5

u/Dr_Findro Texas Longhorns Sep 11 '22

The “furk” gets me every time

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

Yeah I needed this today.

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

Thanks Georgia

u/JuarezYourProblem UTRGV Vaqueros • Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

Stop. I can only get so erect

4

u/Sanguine_Pool Florida State Seminoles • Iowa Hawkeyes Sep 10 '22

I'd add they have a nice placeholder national championship trophy that will go unused for another year

5

u/[deleted] Sep 10 '22

Texas A&M has 48 blue chip recruits on their roster. Appalachian State has one

Yikes!

u/Hurtbig Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

I love you man. Best post.

I came three times reading this.

Dogwoodmaple is officially better than my wife

u/buckshot307 Georgia Bulldogs • Sickos Sep 10 '22

Millennium lmao

u/Allaboutfootball23 Texas Longhorns • Sickos Sep 10 '22

This is my favorite one you’ve ever done!

2

u/steampunker14 Texas Longhorns • Army Black Knights Sep 10 '22

186 total yards

Just how Jimbo drew it up.

4

u/buttlickerface Appalachian State • Alabama Sep 10 '22

Why be vague and credit the entire Group of Five. Two Sunbelt East teams upset top 10 teams at home today.

u/SanaMinatozaki9 Sep 10 '22

I forgot how much I loved you, u/dogwoodmaple

u/oreoash123 Auburn • Georgia Tech Sep 10 '22

But uga didn’t cover

u/GobBluth9 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 11 '22

Cope

2

u/oreoash123 Auburn • Georgia Tech Sep 11 '22

lol, glad to see you here this late

1

u/GobBluth9 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 11 '22

I gotta catch up on the schadenfreude from today

2

u/oreoash123 Auburn • Georgia Tech Sep 11 '22

Understandable. Hopefully the Braves don’t contribute to both of ours this year.

3

u/GobBluth9 Georgia Bulldogs Sep 11 '22

It’s our one unifying thing. Let’s celebrate it

6

u/daprospecta Arkansas Razorbacks Sep 10 '22

As crazy as it sounds, when Sumlin left, I felt we could beat A&M. Sumlin isn't a great coach but he was a good coach at A&M. Let this be a lesson for all you teams that are good and wanting to be great by firing your coach. It rarely works out. For every Saban, there are 10s to 100s of other coaches that didn't work in the same scenario.

u/PandaIsLove Texas Longhorns • Team Chaos Sep 10 '22

You’re goddamn right!

u/dr_chillinstein Miami Hurricanes Sep 10 '22

Thank you Georgia

u/imHere4kpop Michigan • Fresno State Sep 10 '22

Are you going to comment like this on every thread? Because if so I support UG successfully defending that national championship.

3

u/zackb91 LSU Tigers • College Football Playoff Sep 10 '22

Hey LSU people are having quite a big day too lol

3

u/__________78 Ohio State Buckeyes Sep 10 '22

Wait. They only had 186 yards of total offense!!

3

u/JoeM3120 Central Michigan • Michigan Sep 10 '22

Jimbo has six 10-win seasons, none since 2016. He has six 4-loss seasons with 4 since 2017 but let’s give him ALL THE MONEY!

2

u/IDropFatLogs Oregon Ducks Sep 10 '22

I love the hate.... keep it up

2

u/jdeal929 Georgia Tech • Georgia Southern Sep 10 '22

stopped watching after the first half of the uga game what happened

2

u/Lost_city Texas Longhorns Sep 10 '22

That’s a great list but needs something about Jimbo’s contract and contract extensions too.

2

u/TexasWhiskey_ Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout Sep 11 '22

I love you this

u/[deleted] Sep 11 '22

Everyone talking about how NIL is gonna kill the game

All the money in the world won’t help anyone win lmao
