FSU was extremely fortunate with back to back great coaches that spanned about 30 years. They have no idea how hard it really is to hit a homerun on a coaching hire(and that's to LSU's benefit because we do know and hopefully arent taking anything for granted). Its a mixture of timing, finances, and a huge helping of luck. This "we're better than LSU with or without Jimbo" article is laughable.

You’re Florida State. You’re one of the elite programs in the country. You’re a better program than LSU actually.

If the one coach in the country who would leave FSU for LSU actually does it – then so be it.

Need proof?

Since1980, Florida State has won more games (358) than any program in the country.

Nebraska is second with 356.

Ohio State is third with 352.

Florida and Miami are both tied for fourth with 333 each (only one of those wins, it should be pointed out, actually came against Fisher).

In that same span LSU has won 290 games.

In the last 40 years LSU has had 10 head coaches, including two interim coaches.

Well, he's not wrong. No other HC in the US right now could leave FSU for LSU.

But let’s not act like he performed some holy miracle to make Florida State good again.

He is just one of the reasons — along with the facilities, the fans, the 14 straight Top 5 finishes, Charlie Ward, the TV ratings, the insane amount of high school talent in Florida, Peter Warrick, the weather, the student body, the cool uniforms, the spear on the helmet, Warrick Dunn, the Warchant, the “Puntrooskie,” Jameis Winston, Osceola, Renegade, Deion Sanders, Mickey Andrews and Bobby Bowden — that FSU remains one of the elite programs in all of college football.


How many of these came under Bowden's last 5-10 years? If LSU wasn't such a dumpster fire during the 80's and 90's, would Warrick Dunn have gone to LSU or FSU?
