Sark is rated safe and secure? I think another 5-7 season puts him at win or be fired for 2023. I expect us to win at least 9 games, so it would be a moot point. But CBS sports is full of crap.

Also, I don't think Dimbo Fisher is untouchable. A November collapse and a poor 2023 class will heat his seat also.

Dimbo is now #1 on the hot seat. Who could have predicted?

I don't know how the hell Sark is at #10.

Lots of aggys would love to get a replacement coach,  but with a 90 million dollar buy out you would assume that hot seat has very good insulation.  If Jimbo can't get things turned around and ends up with a losing record and top players start entering the portal then things could get interesting. 

It's mind boggling that they gave Jimbo a raise and extension in 2020. You would have thought they would have learned there lesson with Sumlin, that what looks good for one season can go south in a hurry.

That whole deal was wrapped in A&M's insecurities from the jump, specifically the no buyout clause.

They knew they had to do something historical to lure him away from FSU and keep him in College Station.

I was a bit surprised Hamilton at IT said earlier in the week they already want to buy him out, but it will be fascinating to watch because the Ags have zero leverage even if the season goes to shit.

They can't threaten him to hire a real offensive coordinator and they all have to tread carefully because of the lengths they went to in order to secure the '22 class.

That whole operation is trending towards being must-see entertainment and we're only in Week 3.

He shot up the list last season with that Kansas loss, but he still shouldn't have been ranked that high as a first year coach.

Landing Manning, and that performance against Bama, only strengthened his job security.

I understand the initial contract.  Definitely a bold risky move.  What I don't get is the 2020 extension.  Did they really think another school was going to come in and offer him a better deal?

If the team continues to play at the standard they set last week, I suspect he will be off that list completely

loochie’s eyes might uncross.

And it's not just the $90 million buy-out of Jimbo, but also his staff, too. That could run towards $100 million. I don't know their staff very well to know their contracts.

Then you get to spend it all over again on Jimbo's replacement.

Aggy is in trouble.

If someone turned him in for recruiting violations, if proven, could they fire him for cause and not have to pay him?

Hardly. The BMDs there do all of that. They just ask Jimbo which recruits are important to him. They do the rest.

The deal is that aggy did NOT lure Jimbo away from FSU. Fact is Jimbo had walked out on his team with a losing record ...IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SEASON! Goodby.....see ya....he simply quit on the team. He was unemployed when aggy hired him. The negotiations were tense. It took aggy a while to finally out bid themselves and land that loser.

Well, it would be hard to say they lured Jimbo away anyway. FSU was crumbling beneath him and did once he left.

Aggy paid that big money to a man who had just ruined a program.

I think it was a bit more complicated then that. He left on the eve of the final game of the season,  not the middle of the season.  He didn't inform his players ahead of time which isn't a good look. Prior to his final year he had a descent run at Florida State. 

I think Florida State was unable or unwilling to make some facility upgrades Fisher wanted. Basically aggy made him an offer that would have been difficult for him to turn down.

A&M 247 believes King has been benched, and Johnson will start against Miami.

Poor choice of words on my part, and yes Florida State didn't fight to keep him.
