jvilletiger 0 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 ST is wrong. I think so too. No way they bother with a search committee just to hire Malzahn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc4aday 1,887 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 What is Jimbo's real name? I hope it is James, Jim, or Jimmy. It is much better than Dabbo though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle10 77 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 What is Jimbo's real name? I hope it is James, Jim, or Jimmy. It is much better than Dabbo though! Funy thing is, his real name is actually Ralph. I have no idea why people call him Jimbo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AcUmen 242 Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Got my hopes up when this thread said Fisher. I thought it was Jeff. Jimbo = mediocre He should be dominating at F$U but he just got beat by UF and loses a game to weak sauce ACC teams every year. He's better than what we have, but he is far, far from a home-run hire.

slyinsocal 831 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I'm neutral on Jimbo. He can take credit for QB Christian Ponder's development, who's done a pretty decent job with the Vikings. He has elevated FSU since Bobby B's departure. Some of that is recruiting and some of that has to be pretty decent player development overall, You don't hear about many off the field issues. However, he has not demonstrated that he is an offensive innovator. Maybe that is some of Saban's influence. And yes, FSU has fallen short here and there when you least expected it. Jimbo is very young into his head coaching career. I think he would be a solid hire and have at worst, a Tuberville type of career at Auburn. But he may do a lot better. Here's why. People forget that Saban didn't set the world on fire right away. Saban didn't have a 1 loss season until his 10th as a head coach. Two, two loss seasons were the best he had during the first 9. FSU's growth, although not spectacular, has been steady. As for Auburn's situation right now, the O talent is far better suited for Malzahn, but I believe Jimbo could adapt and work with what's there much better than Petrino. Petrino must have a pure, classic, drop back, pro style QB. There isn't one on the roster. Jimbo or Gus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably thinking like me in that Gogue would not hire BP but that is not clear anymore. Gus has always been plan C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wde21 344 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Wow, hard to believe men like Pat Sullivan, a man of integrity, would give their approval on this hire. If so, a dark day for auburn University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,114 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 ST changes his tune hourly. If he guesses enough names, he can later say he "called it." Not hourly. Those tweets have occurred over a couple of months which reflects that it is a very fluid situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did something happen? I didn't think interviews would start till tomorrow. He is referring to this...Petrino met with Mike Slive (SEC Commish) and apparently Slive was impressed. Word is that Slive is fine with an SEC school hiring BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
