Jumbo Won't Be An Upgrade From Miles
This article pretty much nails it. Unless Jimbo has a first round QB (very rare), he is very average.

With all due respect, I disagree.

The author of that piece either did not know the history of FSU before Jimbo took over, or does not like Jimbo.

Here are Bowden's last six years at FSU:

Bowden did not leave Jimbo with much when he left, but I think it's pretty obvious how FSU got better rather quickly with Jimbo at the helm.

Okay, so he lost three of the five games to unranked teams in the first two-years that he was HC, but they were also in every single one of those games.

The last five losses under Les (regular season):

14-31 Arkansas (2015)
0-17 Arkansas (2014)
29-34 MSU (2014) Score is closer than the game was
24-27 Ole Miss (2013)
23-25 Ole Miss (2009)

So, Les has 5 losses in 7 years, but four have been in the last three years, but Jimbo has 5 losses in 6 years but four were in his first three years. Oh and he had two undefeated regular seasons and a national championship sandwiched in between the first four and the last one this year.

Do I think Jimbo is head and shoulders above what Les has done over the course of his career, no.

Do I think Jimbo is an upgrade from what Les has done the last couple of years, and what I think would come if he stays, yes.

And I think that is how most people feel.
