I believe Sumlin is on his way to a contract extension

I will not understand if Fisher accepts. Why? Unless the money is absolutely critical for him and his ego is insatiable. I see the risk/reward at TAM to be undesirable. In other words, for that kind of money, how would success be measured? Frankly, only in NCs.

Would he recruit any better in Collie Station than in Tallahassee? I wonder. And who needs that type of pressure? That is, unless he is getting the business from the alumni at FSU for one bad year.

It'll be interesting. As I have believed, there are only three truly elite coaches in the business right now, those being Saban (in a class by himself), Meyer and perhaps Harbaugh. (Harbaugh's star may be flickering.) And yes, Sweeney is close.

As many have suggested, you have to wonder what even the most gifted coach can accomplish at that school.

Be careful what you wish for?
 
Sounds like no Fisher for aggy either
FSU already gave him a new contract last year ($44M total)
Now he wants more money for his assistants and a new practice facility
And FSU indicating they will cough this up

But Florida State is committed to competitively paying any new football coaching assistants needed to assist Fisher in steering the Seminoles back in the winning direction.

The program also is committed to fulfilling Fisher’s request for a football-only complex to streamline productivity for the program’s coaches, players and personnel.

After starting the season ranked No. 3 in the country, Florida State is in the midst of its worst season in a generation — and Jimbo is still at the negotiating table.​

So you're telling me that he is passing up the opportunity of a lifetime to coach at dead dog field for THIS?!?!?
 
Good timing by A&M. Sit back and watch Tennessee continue their amateur hour, Florida whiff on Frost, UCLA taking Chip Kelly, A&M is now the most desirable job out there.
 
The delusion that feeds failure from the A&M AD:


"Kevin's tenure included some remarkable achievements and he leaves our program as one of the winningest football coaches in our storied history," Texas A&M athletic director Scott Woodward said in a statement. "Kevin made us a better all-around football program and led our program with dignity and character. He's a first-class person.

"Our expectations at A&M are very high. We believe that we should compete for SEC championships on an annual basis and, at times, national championships. I believe that we need a new coach to take us there."

So they fired one of the winningest coaches in their history and somehow they have high expectations? Where do high expectations come from? From a legacy of success or is it just a general desire?

If true we are about to endure another round of the Aggie way, "Ego before accomplishment." The bragging and "SEC Country" type smack talk will be louder than ever because Fisher is admittedly a top tier coach with a trophy already in hand.

Probably should wait to see if it's true or not but if true, why would Texas not have "bought" him away instead of Herman? The question I have is this: If Texas is the Jones' as DeLoss so famously declared, when are they going to start acting like it?" Spending obscene sums of money shouldn't be predicated on what everyone else thinks. Texas is hated now. Why did they not drop the $10 million contract on the best coach around (Saban?) and quit fiddling around. It's obvious the football program is the only thing that matters around here yet the coaching hires are being done with one hand tied behind their back. It's strange if you ask me.

Check with the money in Baton Rouge. Fisher ain't our kinda people. He could, however, fit well in Norman, Blackburg, Convict Gables, Knoxville, Oregon, and of course Brazos County.

Next time you run into little Billie Powers, ask him that question. His response, while not truthful, should be interesting.

While we're at it, do you have any interest in a nice apartment project off Beltway 8 near Jersey Village. You could probably get a good discount on the purchase price.

No, just pure delusion. It should say, “competing for bowl eligibility annually and the sec west at times”
 
I have long believed that we should print maroon bumper stickers to sell in Brazos County that say

"Being 7th place in SEC West is better than being 6th place in the Big XII"

Well I was hoping Texas kind of people was a winner. I guess Powers really did a number on the program.

Not sure about the apartment project reference. Does Sumlin own it?
 
Checked out TexAgs. Seems like either Fisher is headed their way or the fake Twitter accounts are out of control. If he is, I don't get it unless there is a political or personality problem at FSU or it's all about the money. Regardless, Fisher is not a sure thing. Only Saban and Meyer are, and they are not available.

Maybe somebody dared question Fisher for his faltering this year.
 
Fisher has some personal issues in Tallahassee

1) His son has serious health issues and needs to be near to quality healthcare. Scott & White is great, and St Josephs may be the best small town hospital in the country, unless the Catholics turn it over to Catholic Healthcare Incompetence in KC. He will also be closer to The Texas Medical Center than he is to anything in Tallahassee.

2) Brutal divorce involving alleged infidelity more than once by his spouse. I say "alleged" but believe it has been admitted to.

3) FSU is about to become third or worse in recruiting in Florida. Facilities are not good, fan base is clueless, money isn't there to fix things.

4) He cheated his *** off at LSU, FSU, and the Aggies have all the puzzle parts in place to continue.

5) He'll get a bunch of money, elevate the Aggies to fourth best in the SEC West, maybe third. When he's fired, he can take the remaining cash and spend quality time with his son.
