JustAFan11 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 With some of these teams weāre going to find out early if they are legit.Ā LSU, Texas, Miami, Florida, Clemson, ATM, Georgia, Notre Dame, Auburn, Oregon All of these teams play each other early in the year (UGAvsND is week 4 I think). So there will be a lot of movement in the polls early.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyFootball Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Good Lord the obsession with some people is absolutely astounding.Ā A&M at 11 is tough with this schedule. We play 4 of the top 6 teams, including 1-3. Ouch.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I donāt agree. Do you scratch that deal and hire a lesser proven coach simply because you could have given him less money and a contract that was guaranteed?Ā I believe A&M did what it needed to do to get their guy and also payed him enough where not many can equal to lure him away. Some call it overpaying, I call it being committed to winning and doing what must be done. Iāll take paying Jimbo a guaranteed contract taking a far less proven guy anyways. Honestly those are the ones overpaid. You know what Jimbo can bring you. Almost all others on the table are unproven on the National level.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old saying in the coaching world, "a coach should be given 3 years to turn a program around". So I would have went with maybe 5Ā years guaranteed and renewal upon the universities discretion. That's JMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine a coach like Fisher being given 3 years... that doesn't even give him one full class ofĀ senior s. I agree, though- 10 years is a long time. That said, I'm happy so far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
