SP+ odds.

 
TAMU going 4-8 for the season ought to put Jimbo on the hot seat contract or not. To do that poorly with the amount of talent that he has and the lack of control of the players that he’s shown is really a fireable performance.
 
Apparently to fire Jimbo right now it would cost $86M. That’s what is remaining on his contract & A&M owes him all of that. By the start of next season it will be down to $76M owed.

This has to be one of the worst contracts ever handed out in sports.

I don’t what they’re gonna do there. I don’t think there’s any obvious coaching candidate out there where it would make sense to just eat Jimbo’s contract & pay the next head coach a lot on top of it.

That’s pretty much all true but A&M boosters could easily raise the money to get him to leave. Jimbo should be concerned that the boosters would find some “legitimate” reason to fire him and tie him up in Texas courts forever about it.
He’s been given the keys to a Bentley and driven it off of a cliff.

We’ll see. Everything that I can see coming from Texas A&M’s end is he’s probably not getting fired still.

Now it does sound like there could be a mass exodus with some kids on his team currently once the season ends/portal opens back up officially. It sounds like there’s kids there putting feelers out to other programs through back channels.

He may make it through the winter but his butt has to be on the hottest seat in Div1 football come next fall. If TAMU gets off to a bad start his tail will be canned mid season.
