Remember that the reported details almost always lag behind the actual numbers. A&M just cares about the reported numbers that everyone will repeat.

on edit: FSU will be 6-6 but Fisher will remain 5-6 for 2017 as he is not coaching the Noles tomorrow.
Tough to justify paying Saban money to a coach whose team quit so easily. Reference Boston College 35 - FSU 3. They barely managed to come out of the locker room after halftime.
I happened to watch that game for some reason. BC not only beat FSU, they beat them up. I'll bet they had over 250 yards. rushing in that game, mostly by this freshman #5 who just ran over people. It was impressive. You could see that BC just broke FSU's will to play.

It will be interesting to see how Jimbo does at TAMU. My old roommate is an Aggie and is stoked (I kidded him that they had to hire a West Virginia boy to come fix a Texas football program). It is the first time a coach who won a National Championship at one school got hired immediately to coach at another. Anyway, I guess it's the recruiter that is making Jimbo's talent pool so rich. If he comes with Jimbo, look out. But I do not believe Jimbo will be as successful as his paycheck says he will be and TAMU will be disappointed.

What would qualify for 'as successful as his paycheck says'? Would 2 national titles over 10 years do it or would he need to win 3?

Saban and Meyer are the only active coaches with more than 1. Swinney could join them if they repeat. But it certainly isn't going to help Jimbo's quest to win multiple titles in 10 years if Swinney has turned Clemson into a perenniel contender along with Alabama and Ohio St.

It's basically not possible for him to be as successful as his paycheck. I also don't see how they can fire him basically ever if the $75MM guarantee number is accurate.

How bad could things be that you fire the only unqualified success you ever had as a major college? Five bowls in seven years.

Jimbo looks like a train wreck. Looks like he has not slept in weeks.

It was reported in Houston that Jimbo really regretted the fact he did not take the LSU job. He was trying to save his marriage and decided that would best be done by staying at FSU. Once the marriage dissolved, he was hoping Malzahn would lose against Alabama and bolt for Arkansas. Once that didn’t happen, he settled on A&M. There was also the medical concerns with his son. I think this a very risky move for A&M. They are getting a very emotionally fractured man. One thing for sure, he wanted out of FSU and the reasons for that have yet to really surface.

We laugh about "west coast" thing. But cross the Rockies and it really is different out there culturally. That's why it was no surprise Chip Kelly chose UCLA over Florida and Taggert might choose to return to his home state of Florida.

What would be more interesting is if Oregon would make a last second dash at Kelly to flip him from UCLA? I doubt it but PK money could matter here.

UCF hire Josh Heupel to replace Scott Frost. Heupel was the OC at Missouri, who turned their season around 180 degrees after an awful 1-5 start. UCF knew they were losing their coach for weeks so they were free to work quietly to find a replacement and here's the result.

Rats for Missouri.

How many 90/200's Big 12 QBs are coaches? Off the thop of my Head... Kliff Kingsbury, Major Applewhite, Josh Heupel, Scott Frost, even Lincoln Riley started as a QB at TTU. How many SEC QB's are head coaches?

How many SEC QBs even succeed in the NFL in the past few decades? Not a lot. Totally guessing here but probably less than the CUSA/AAC QBs we faced.

I think Windy's anti-SEC bias is shading what could be considered a successful NFL QB. I'm not going to count Cutler and Dak is still too soon to tell, but Newton and Stafford are clearly good quarterbacks unless your only measure of success is winning a Super Bowl. There are plenty of teams that wish they had them on their team.

I initially didn't include Cutler, but the guy's been a starter for what, 11 years now? Irregardless, can y'all think of 4 cusa/AAC guys?
