Fair enough. But this seems like an emotional decision rather than a business one. Of course you could be correct, I just don't understand from the business side.

The ACC seems more competitive here of late
The SEC is not what it use to be at the moment.. no in terms of complete teams.
The ACC most of the season had two top 5 teams not named FSU..how is it any easier.. especially with the playoffs..
Why not knock off Alabama in the regular season any ways? Plus you can afford a loss, and sometimes even two in the SEC.. but not the ACC.

Money and recruiting is a wash. FSU will match whatever LSU offers.
This is true, but this is not a correct business decision. It is emotional.
This is true although I think FS is upgrading.
Emotional
I agree with this although that is a pretty weak reason.

And Jimbo has history at LSU, good history with close close contacts. A majority of the fan base think highly of him. He has his critics, but in terms of the power brokers, he has solid alliances. And fwiw, he wants a shot at the SEC. coaches love challenges.

I agree with everything you are saying. I know he is an LSU man, loves the school and the school loves him. I just don't know those are reasons to leave a pretty great situation.

I can tell you that Sexton will not let any of us get out cheap. You guys should know that. And now it appears Texas might be in the mix. FSU better be ready to pay up and pay up big.

All those reasons. I don't how much of personal is going into this decision. My gut tells me some of it is.

In no world would Saban leave LSU for Alabama.
The Urban story is a better example although none of us really know what happened.

Saban had everything in the world at LSU as did Urban at UF.
Right now nobody knows how emotion or personal life is playing into this.

FSU doesn't pay their assistant coaches as much as LSU does. I believe LSU had the highest paid assistant coaches in college under Les Miles. Jimbo lost his D coordinator after they won the NC due to FSU not paying him enough. At LSU, Jimbo wouldn't have to worry about not getting or keeping the assistants he wants due to money. Also, Jimbo will get paid.
Florida is a great state for recruiting, but there is no in-state competition in Louisiana at LSU and Louisiana has the most players per capita in the NFL. That's a big selling point for anyone that there is no in-state competition for recruiting. It was for Saban when he took the LSU job.
LSU gets a ton of donations to its athletic department and is in better shape than FSU when it comes to facilities and money needed to do things to keep up in that area.
Also, there is the prestige of coaching in the SEC and the challenge of winning in what is perceived to be the best conference. Also, coaching in Tiger Stadium is a nice perk and coaches all seem to love it when they get a job here.

I can't tell if you are being serious right now. Saban would not have left LSU for Alabama.

I believe Miles was out of here for Michigan in 2007, but the media leak fricked up the deal. And that was a during a NC run. 
But I still think this will be tough for LSU to pull off. This is not something that happens a lot.

"something else" was an NFL job which is completely and 100% different than what we are talking about.
Jimbo may come to LSU, but I don't see any real reason to at this point. This smells like Sexton being Sexton.
