Ross was a good AD, but he tried very hard at the end not to "own" the Fischer contract, which was of his own making. He did a nice song and dance when he gave the reasons for firing Jimbo and eating the contract he had arranged. Probably would have been fired if he had been in the corporate world for making such a bad decision and costing the institution so much money. On the other hand, the TAMU Board of Trustees is very culpable, too, for approving the contract that Bjorg gave to them. Competent Trustees would have questioned it, but they were all emotionally involved in the moment and didn't make a good decision.

Jimbo couldn't believe he was fired while everyone else couldn't believe he wasn't fired earlier - does that sound like a disconnect. But, the biggest disconnect was the TAMU administration and the current AD giving him the contract they did - academic malfeasance, and yet nobody seems to have to pay for it with their jobs.

Deep! Very deep!

Jimbo's standard line after any loss is "I need to do a better job of coaching". He's right. But, if he is continuously saying that, then the logical conclusion is that A&M needs a better coach. The guy is grossly overpaid and mindless Aggie morons gave him a totally unwarranted guaranteed contract for far too many years.

Empty-headed talking head Corso wrong again!

Nobody knows who the Ags really are. Depends on which team shows up. The offensive line has not been impressive, the defensive line is not getting penetration and the defensive secondary is getting the consequences of no penetration. Weigman has been good, but a lot of his plays have been off scrambles due to limited protection. Guess we'll see how they do against a credible Auburn team. A&M usually wins at Auburn and loses at home to them.

Finebaum is the ultimate talking head - only empty gas comes out of his empty head. A&M isn't stupid enough to want to pay Jimbo that much money. The mistake made was paying him that much initially and giving him such a long contract - now that was stupid. Miami has a very good team and they will do well this year. Texas is back after many years of loathsome teams - that's a normal cycle. Teams do get better after bad years, particularly those with a winning heritage like Miami and Texas. The Aggies just have to learn how to play better. See what Finebaum says if the Ags beat Alabama - more inane gas, of course.

Jimbo needs to fire his offensive coordinator - think he can bring himself to do it?

We left right after halftime because we were freezing in the lousy upper deck seats that A&M gave us. The team was awful on both sides of the ball. The O line didn't show up again, the secondary did well but only because Auburn didn't need to throw at all. Once a runner gets past the D line, it is almost lights out - guaranteed 10-20 yards. Weigman was missing receivers all night and the ones he got the ball to dropped it. It's almost like they have no desire at all to win.

The odds are slim that they'll even qualify for a bowl game. Of course, Jimbo doesn't care - he's getting paid an enormous amount regardless.

Time for him to go to a second rate school and try on his out of control ego there. He sure doesn't have the talent or demeanor to be at a first rate school.

It must be past your bedtime - you know you have school tomorrow. Too bad you flunked second grade.

Believe it or not, rumors are that Urban may go back to Bowling Green to finish his career. Lot less pressure, and very high potential for success, plus he has a special spot for BG, and he still wants to live in Ohio.

That final play call was awful! I would have run the sleeper play again, because Alabama probably hadn't figured it out yet and didn't know how to defend it. Easy TD and win. Lots of Jimbo's play calling is very suspect, and he is way too conservative most of the time.

I was at the Bowling Green/Mississippi State game on Saturday. Observations - MSU's O line was getting regularly penetrated by the BG D, so is suspect. Rogers is one of the best QBs in the country and is highly accurate, even with questionable protection. MSU's defensive front is undersized, and BG's offensive line was generally handling them. BG's starting quarterback was out, and their head coach was not present, but it would not have made a difference. Bottom line for me - A&M's D line will be a big problem for MSU. A&M's O line will continue to be a problem, but will get away with subpar performance due to MSU's small D line. Pick - A&M by a couple of touchdowns.

As long as the O line can't perform properly, no quarterback, no matter how good he is, can put up numbers.

As an Aggie season ticket holder, I'm still not convinced. The O line still hasn't shown me that they have it, and without the amazing fumble return and the missed field goal, the Ags lose. The pieces still are not yet there for them to be even rated as highly as they are. I keep hoping Jimbo can get things fixed, but I haven't seen it yet.

The defense was inept at stopping even 1-2 yard runs. They were out of position regularly - that's poor coaching.

This is probably the very first time I've ever possibly agreed with Finebaum.

Did anyone notice the beer gut that Jimbo has developed? He obviously is buying a lot of beer with that completely unwarranted payday of his.

Jimbo's play calling was the pits! His new defensive coordinator is a joke! The A&M players deserve a lot better than this coaching staff.

There is only one word for Texas A&M today - PITIFUL! This is the worst A&M team I've seen in several years. They are awful!

I've now been to all but 3 of the SEC stadiums - Arkansas, Vandy and Kentucky only ones not been to. Also, OSU, Michigan, Notre Dame, and several others. Sorry guys, but A&M is still the loudest I've been to.

Stephen A. Smith is a loudmouth moron with no brain, and absolutely no reason for anyone to listen to his incoherent ramblings.

The guy was a great QB at Ole Miss, but he must be lacking brains to make comments like this. Maybe Ole Miss academics were too up market for him.

And your vote will be the same type of BS as your column.

You can take the man out of the ghetto . . . A&M has enough good players without all the grief of dealing with this guy and his social problems. Every game in which I watched him play, he was mediocre at best. I'm sure that he can find a school that specializes in giving social misfits playing time.

NIL is going to destroy college football! But, since it's now the "law", there is no reason not to play the NIL game to win. The problem is the very richest alumni will always be the ones to win the game. So, the schools with the richest alums will always have the best teams because they're the ones who can pay the most NIL money. Should that be what college football is all about? - of course not, but that's what has happened thanks to the greed of the alums and players, supported by the universities and the athletic staffs. You are now going to have college football players making more than their NFL counterparts, so why not let them go direct to the NFL.

You can take em out of the ghetto, but never the ghetto out of them.

So, they've made the decision to try to get some playing time for lesser teams since they were probably going to be warming the bench at A&M.
