Baby: Texas A&M needs to win a national championship to justify Jimbo Fisher's salary

Ben Baby, Texas A&M football beat writer for SportsDayDFW.com and The Dallas Morning News joined Paul Finebaum on The Paul Finebaum Show. Here are some highlights from the conversation:

Reaction to Jimbo Fisher being hired at Texas A&M

Ben Baby: I think everybody was kind of surprised when Jimbo actually got off the plane. You heard the rumors and you said surely A&M is not going to be able to get Jimbo Fisher out of Florida State, and I was among those people that didn't think it was going to happen. For them to get a guy like Jimbo -- and you've heard Scott Woodward and John Sharp say it at the A&M admins -- they have so many other things in place and the thing that they were lacking was a championship winning coach.
