'It Just Doesn't Work!' SEC Network Host Paul Finebaum Pinpoints Jimbo Fisher's Failure in College Station

SEC Network Host Paul Finebaum thinks he knows where Fisher went wrong.

The Texas A&M Aggies football program is very publicly looking for a new head coach. after the firing and buyout of Jimbo Fisher after five and a half seasons at the helm. 

Other programs around the country have similar issues and are using the same solution the Aggies found in the firing of their head coach. SEC Network host Paul Finebaum thinks that A&M's handling of the Fisher situation is affecting other schools.

“This is gonna be a domino effect here, a couple of other guys just got fired. Because if you’re at some of these other schools and you’re trying to compete in the SEC and you see a guy that just won by 40 points against your school and he got fired on a Sunday, what does that say about your guy? If you’re in Arkansas, if you’re in Florida, a lot of places where I think there’s a lot of soul searching now,” Finebaum said.

The next leader of the Aggies needs to be a good fit. He needs to have a grasp of the culture, and he needs to understand how to build a winner in College Station. Finebaum feels Fisher went the wrong way about it, and has thoughts on how the next man should go about it.

“I think we were talking about A&M, what kind of school it is, I still believe it can be elite, but it has to have the right coach. And Jimbo Fisher was just going to the most expensive store on Fifth Avenue and buying the most expensive clothes and thinking that’s going to get you in the after party at a Taylor Swift concert. It just doesn’t work. It doesn’t matter what kind of car you drove up in, you’re still not getting in."

Finebaum thinks he knows where Fisher went wrong - apparently shopping at the wrong store for recruits. No one ever accused Jimbo of failing at recruiting, but those top-tier recruiting classes never translated to wins on the ledger, and that might have been Fisher's most glaring failure.
