Let's see.. better job. Pays more. No major instate schools to recruit against. Familiarity with the area. He's worked here before.


Ok, why is LSU a better Job? He isnt making much less than Les now, youd be assuming FSU wouldnt offer him a raise, he makes $4.1 mil rt now. While he has to recruit against other florida teams, they have a way bigger recruiting base than Louisiana. If you look at this past draft, 44 players from Florida were drafted, 10 from LA. So even if he splits those recruits with the other two programs, He still has more access to NFL talent then he would in LA.

Florida doesn't have a state income tax either, so the lsu final offer would probably have to exceed the FSU final offer.

Several coaches go into Florida every year and steal players. Hell, we do it now and Jimbo could continue to do it with his ties to the area.

Meanwhile, since Saban/Miles have been at LSU, we get nearly every instate recruit we want. Jimbo could continue that.

Believe it or not, playing in the SEC helps make it a better job even though we don't get to sleepwalk to 10 wins a year like they do.
