For Those Who Prefer Jimbo - Question

Personally, I believe his system would have SOME success. He does run a pro-style but most people call it modern. He can spread it out and also understands mismatches. However, Alabama defenses are known to shut down pro-style offenses. Imo most people bank on the fact that he would adjust his game plan and not stick to things that wont work.

He will put up more than 0 points

I've stated this dozens of times, but here it goes again...

Not all pro style offenses are the same. Our prostyle offense relies heavily on the run in order to set up slow developing play action passes. It's outdated. The increase of speed on elite defensive lines and particularly at the DE position has made the offense obsolete. It only works against defenses with average-below average edge rushers or teams that just flat out cannot stop the run.

Jimbo runs a progressive and fast paced prostyle offense laced heavily with spread concepts. Not only does it SPREAD out defenses, frequent RP options allow a jump for offensive linemen and force defensive ends to stay at home and read. Quick passes off three step dropbacks allow for the QB to build rythem, as well as decreasing stress on the offensive line.

Jimbo's offense honestly doesn't even resemble a TRUE prostyle offense. I personally believe they still tab if that for recruiting purposes. Many high school QBs want to play in a prostyle system in order to prepare them for the NFL.

We never had a pro style offense. We had a 1970s pro style offense

Jimbo is running a current day pro style offense

Yeah he knows how to design plays to maximize his strengths while disguising weaknesses.

IMO....Jimbo hasn't won a big game since Winston (you can count Ole Miss if you want, but we see where they are now).

Of the available coaches, i believe he gives us the best shot at competing for a championship almost every year. Based on the coaching carousel at this time, jimbo is the most proven HC that lsu could reasonably obtain. With a better overall staff than what he has at FSU i think jimbo would be able to compete with and beat Saban if he were HC of LSU.

Recruiting under jimbo would be incredible. He would lock down Louisiana and Florida kids would in play.

I think it's a very versatile offense.

This is correct. Fisher uses multiple formations, multiple personnel groupings & runs multiple plays out of similar formations. It is a stark difference from what we Tiger fans are used to seeing.

He does run pro sets, but it is not a cam cameron 2 WR sets at all.

This however is incorrect. Fisher uses I formation a good bit. Any FSU fan will tell you this. Jimbo has always used the I formation & will continue using it as part of his offense.



Florida State also likes to run the speed option out of the I-formation.

The blocking on this play is also similar to the outside zone, making it another easy addition to the offense.

FSU uses two tight ends and a fullback, so Florida responds by putting eight men in the box. The circled outside linebacker is the optioned player. One of the safeties has crept down is playing about level with the linebackers. The fullback runs out as a lead blocker for the running back on a potential pitch. The playside tight end and guard should block the safety and middle linebacker, but that doesn’t really happen.

It's like some of you don't watch the games, don't understand exactly what you are looking at or just repeat something you heard or read from somewhere else that was actually incorrect.

My OP wasn't intended as a trick question, etc. I simply want to win championships. Right now, Bama is setting the pace. If we want to win the championships that Bama is currently winning we have to plan on beating them.

Moreover, I don't think 'base talent' is the main issue. We have enough talent now to beat Bama. A good model to look at is what OM does. They're are vexing to Saban. IMO, it's a less talent intensive approach than what Jimbo would demand, i.e,. 5 NFL quality OL and a stellar QB.

I want the SECw to fear playing LSU just as much as they fear playing Bama.

I fully agree with your sentiment but Jimbo has been HC at FSU what, 7 years. He should be hitting stride now. But does anybody fear FSU?
