Jimbo is staying put. Isn't his buyout pretty huge? And he isn't exactly having a great year. Why fire Sumlin just to pick up another dude who is struggling and who comes with a high price tag?

I read...think it was CBS...that Fisher's buyout if fired is like $37m but only like $7m if he leaves voluntarily (if true, GREAT agent)

Anyone really think Jimbo will leave FSU for aTm? If not, dumb move firing Sumlin. Guy is a solid coach.

Would you ditch 40 million dollars to go to A&M?

You would have to be out of your damn mind to get me to abandon 40 million dollars. Florida State isn't going to fire him anytime soon due to the buyout costs.

Sounds like Ole Miss wants Chad Morris....not sure aTm would fire Sumlin to hire Morris. Need a bigger "splash"

I don't care how much I disagreed with my boss - I'm not leaving on my own with a $40 million buyout. Especially for a job like A&M.

Exactly why this rumor is a crock..

People will say anything that doesn’t make sense to grab some attention.

My Aggie friends have been telling me for a few weeks now that Jimbo agreed to be Aggies coach.

Why is a coach only as good as his latest year? Fisher has a national championship. He’s elite

He actually had a couple of stellar years. I agree. So you think A&M will fork over that much cash to buyout both Sumlin and Fisher? If yes, then somebody there has very deep pockets

Might as well put all these coaches in a big circle with chairs labeled with University names on them. Its like a gigantic cake walk. who ends up with who?

A&M has about as deep of pockets as anyone. If they want Jimbo, money won’t be the determining factor

I’ve always seen them as ones to squander the fortunes. Weren’t they operating in the red when they left for the SEC?
