That may be the reason your wife wears the pants and won’t allow you to gamble.

FSU is not that upset. Jimbo has burned his bridges long before today.

I will give you credit tf.  You didn’t break the story obviously, but you broke it to me.  I didn’t think it would happen because most of the time coaches don’t transition down.  And he’s won a natty and played for another in the past 5 years.  What I don’t get is why FSU wanted him gone.   Is there something behind the scenes?   Anyway, to me that is a big time hire by the Ags and maybe the “splashiest” hire they’ve made in my lifetime.  How he does we shall see.  

Edit:  on further reflection, I would say equally splashy with Jackie Sherrill from Pitt.

Aggie coaches win championships before or after tamu!

It's not like FSU is throwing money at him to stay. Kind of says a lot to me.

No, they definitely want him gone.  There is no debate about that.  I’m just having trouble understanding the why.   This season aside, I would think they would be happy with him.  

[TxHoops]

I will say this, I watched the Showtime “season with” on the Seminoles.  He did seem like somewhat of a clown (and they don’t try to make them appear that way).  But still seems like a good coach.

I think many of the people involved are tired of being held hostage by him. Did the same crap last year. Either he wants to be your coach or he does not.

FSU promised him 60 million only football facilities after flirting with LSU the last 2 years. FSU has dragged their feet on this. Jimbo publicly comments on how this is affecting recruiting, so his relationship with with boosters is steadily going down, as FSU is having one of their worse seasons in 35 years 

Aggies at the rt place at the rt time

Ahhhh like Leach at Tech.  I get that but when you have a successful coach, people are going to make runs at him, whether it’s other schools or the NFL.  They all play word games about whether they actually talk to anyone (ie, their agents do so they technically don’t).

Lateral moves just don't happen in the NCAA. In 1976 Johnny Majors won a NC at Pittsburgh and left for Tennessee. Granted, Pitt was an Independent at the time, but Tenn was not a big time job. Very similar optic IMO. Leaving an established program like FSU, with a NC under your belt, to take over a perennial middle of the pack team.

Something smells funny. Not sure what it is. Probably the smell of money.

10 year contract. How many universities are dumb enough to sign a coach to a 10 year contract?

Tennessee fired their AD John Currie. Will Manning be the interim and hire the coach?

If this happens, I also have to admit I was wrong. Unless there is some politics going on at FSU and he wants out/others want him out, this move makes zero sense.

Wrong as usual

Maybe Jimbo needs a fresh start, he will be getting better facilities, lots of young talent, and a fan base excited to see him come to town. Who knows? Reading on the Aggie forums, seems like A&M is excited to get him and the Seminole fans are happy he is leaving.
