before they do that, they' have to heist another Brink's trunk and deliver it to Jimbo.
Yeah, the ags are stuck with Fisher for another 5 years minimum and honestly it's more like 7 or 8.  The Horns can fire Sarkisian next year.  Neither option is particularly good for either team, but that's what happens when you make the wrong coaching hire.

And, honestly, what would have been the RIGHT coaching hire for either team?  Throw in your Huskers on that question too.  It sounds easy but it's not, at all.

Exactly this, and this is exactly why I want my school to hire the interim coach.

He's been there for 6 years now. He played there. He loves Wisconsin football. He loves Madison. He's 39.

Time to take the tag off.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Jimbo has managed the rare buyout that does its job. 

I’m also amused by all of it.

This model of getting a highly paid coach successful somewhere else with a long term contract and NIL recruiting might not work often as it does, if it ever does.  $$$$$$$

It reminds me a bit of throwing money at climate change and expecting a result.

You could throw Notre Dame up there- they were pre-season ranked 5th. 

But to me it's A&M and it's not even close imo. Jimbo with the $100mil contract plus they just had "the #1 'crootin' class EVER!" on paper and 247Sports does a list of the "team talent rankings" - which is just a list of teams with the most highly rated 'croots- and A&M was like 3rd or 4th on the list....and they suck....again. 

Billy Napier is still in year 1 at Florida. He needs more time. Oklahoma lost it's head coach and tons of players to the portal including it's starting QB and are breaking in a first time head coach. Iowa and Wisconsin don't get the kind of talent A&M has been getting. 

Yeah, it's A&M by a MILE for most disappointing.

yeah it's highly entertaining. Harbs has had a lot more success at Michigan than Jimbo has had at A&M. Think that's fair to say. And Michigan never gave him that sorta mega deal with a crazy buyout which made it impossible to fire him. In fact- they made him take a pay cut after that disastrous COVID year.

kinda reminds me of all those years the Yankees were just spending stupid money to try and buy a 'chip and it never worked. Just throwing truckloads of money at a problem rarely if ever works.

 Anybody who saw that opening kickoff return of 100 yards wouldn’t be surprised that the players were smoking pot before the game.

Harsin might be the current HC with the most, um, baggage and negativism.
