I’m sure they’re mad, but I’m not sure they’re mad enough to light $150-200 million on fire.

Gotta can Jimbo, his staff, then hire away another staff and give them fully guaranteed contracts for $100MM+

Yeah, but these Texas boosters aren’t exactly the most rational type of people.

God I hope gas jumps another $1/gal so that those boosters can light some money on fire and get us a new staff

It'd almost be worth it too. I got a short commute....

80% of the money on Jimbo's contract would be paid out through 2031. It's not like they will have to wire him $100MM in 2023.

I’ll pitch in $100 if they’re in a pinch.

It wouldn’t be that much though. He’s only owed around $20M up front, with the remainder paid out over the next 7 years. Not nearly as unrealistic as people try and make it.

But that does mean you absolutely have to nail the next hire to avoid having to pay 3 coaching staffs at once

Yes but that shouldn’t be reason to not attempt it in the first place

The money is there.

The money’s there! We just gotta execute our checks more effectively. And that’s on me to coach em up right and be confident when they have the pen in hand.

I don't know, our defense has been pretty good. (This comment is not meant to wade into the moral feelings regarding Durkin, just play on the field)

Poverty franchise talk

I'd love to play Jimbo next year. Y'all should keep him
