    I'm pretty sure this scenario would cause massive suicides in the state of Alabama.

    I can think of no other fan base that I would love to see more than the gumps. Almost as bad as USuCk a couple of years ago. Sometimes the ego needs to be brought back to earth.

    Couldn't think of any fanbase that I would like to see this happen to and they certainly deserve such a fate. However, why wait a couple days or tell them thanks? I'd rather see him in the post-game press conference, when asked about the loss, say "Fuck it, I'm gone to Texas" then get up and leave.

    Jimbo signs a contract extension through 2019.

    His agent did his part in getting FSU to think Jimbo might be interested in the Texas job.

    Went from $2.75 million base to $4.1 million.

    Well done.

    Saban could go to Texas and easily win the big 12 next season and go undefeated and play for a national championship.

    Texas is the school reaching out to Jimbo, like I said, didn't see Jimbo moving, many that really know him see the same thing. Looking at his pay, hes 21st in the nation among college coaches, Fla St is just getting their ducks in a row. Like I said, Jimbo is sitting in a great spot. Glad for him, couldn't happen to a better guy.

    Oh, the pay of coaches........

    Who was the ass-clown arguing that Belemia was making more than CLM?

    Some schools are still paying off coaches and staffs from last year. Tenn and auburn are two that come to mind right off.

    If it doesnt go in your pocket, you aint makin it. Buyouts are an expense, not an income.
