SEC Shorts - Jimbo gets fired

It ended the only way it could, Texas A&M has fired it's head coach of six years, Jimbo Fisher. A&M quickly takes the record for paying the highest coaching buyout in the history of college football. But think back to a time in December 2017 when all Aggies had hope for the Jimbo future. These unlucky Aggie fans get a quick dose of reality from a local Balltar Fortune Telling Machine.

[@RestlessMule]

Who else heard the Jimbo news and immediately thought “I can’t wait for this week’s SEC short”?

[@blkhauck]

Which means there has to be another SEC shorts this week. And Roll Call is going to be amazing.

[@Trewq79]

This situation does make me think about Auburn 2011 with Gene Chizik as head coach. Cam Newton joins the team and whoops everyone, and they win the natty. At that point, Chizik gets a big contract extension; nobody's spidey sense went off that maybe Cam Newton was the reason they excelled that year? Unsurprisingly, Auburn fell apart when Cam left, and Chizik was fired fast.

[@joewest3901]

And then Auburn went and hired Gus Malzahn, the other reason the team excelled. Chizik might be the single worst head coach to own a national championship.

[@Covey7342]

Yeah the national championship season wouldn't have happened without Cam. However, Malzahn had a lot do with making Gene Chizik look better than he was. Auburn had losing seasons the year before Malzahn became coordinator and the year after he left. Then he becomes head coach and in his first year takes a team to the national championship that was 3-9 the previous year.

[@crazydude5825]

​@@Covey7342Nailed it! Unfortunately Malzhan proved to not be head coaching material either. Once recruiting and player development became a factor after the first season, the cracks started to show. He couldn't develop a QB at all, neglected certain key positions in recruiting, and could never get the team prepared for a difficult road environment.
