GwillMac6 20,656 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Y'all are underrating the hell out of Jimbo. He won 10 or more games 6 out of his 8 seasons at FSU. He was 83-23 there and the last 2 coaches at FSU have proven not just anyone can win at FSU even when there is talent on the roster. (Yes I realized he left FSU a mess but FSU is not AS BAD as Willie Taggart made it look.) He is 31-12 at TAMU and has won 9 games 2 of his first 3 years there. Not setting the world on fire but they are not a soft ass weak in the trenches and on defense football team like they were under Sumlin. He just beat Bama with his backup QB. He is also 8-2 in bowl games. They could do A LOT worse than Jimbo. I hope they do do a lot worse than Jimbo. He is a great near elite recruiter as well. Personally? Hope they hire a unproven guy like Billy Napier who's offenses in the sun belt are not that impressive and are very vanilla. Or the flavor of the month in Mel Tucker who has a career record of 14-12. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he is bad, I am just saying that he is not as good as you and many others make him out to be. HE did all that at FSU in a weak ACC. I do think he is a pretty good QB developer and a great recruiter when motivated, but otherwise am not blown away with him. I don't fear Jimbo. I think they could do worse, I also think they could do better. HE does have the ability to change my mind if he stays at aTm and continues to improve them and win. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MustardSeed Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 LSU situation is a pretty giant mess considering O signed the agreement before the Florida game…which means he didn’t even tell his players if the assistants didn’t know. Unreal… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the absolute last guy I want LSU to hire. Only looking at career record will get you in a lot of trouble. Dude is currently undefeated after inheriting a really bad roster last year. In his only full recruiting cycle at MSU, he crushed the transfer portal to where his team is sitting 7-0. And he currently has MSU 17th in the country in recruiting. They usually sit in the 30s.

How is when he was in the ACC any different than Clemson now? One dominant team and the rest are mehhhh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 8,648 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think TAMU going back to the trash heap, esp recruiting, and LSU becoming marginally better, is preferable than Fisher remaining where he is and them potentially landing a real head coach finally. The rationale people use about Auburn's past few coaching hires as compared to Harsin REALLY applies to LSU's situation post Saban. They've been doing this with goobers.
