Jimbo Fisher's efficiency in the passing game

Isn't this what LSU fans have been clamoring for? To be a threat in the passing attack?
Why the Jimbo hate narrative when that is what he is known for?
Since 2011, FSU has ranked 22nd or higher in the country in yards per pass attempt every year except once. The Seminoles have ranked in the top 10 three times during that span.
In same span, LSU has ranked in the top 35 in that same category just one time (the 2013 offense — perhaps the best offense under Les Miles since 2006).
Interesting stat that I ran across that I thought I'd share.

Lets do this then

I've posted this in a few other threads. Here's some QBs Jimbo has recruited and coached:
Dameyune Craig - Only QB in Auburn history to pass for 3,000+ yards in a season.
Rohan Davey - Only QB in LSU history to pass for over 3,000+ yards in a season. Most passing yards in any game, most completions in any game
Matt Mauck - Most completions and passing TDs in a season in LSU history. Won a National Championship
Jamarcus Russel - #1 overall pick, tied most passing TDs in a season
Matt Flynn - Won a National Championship
Christian Ponder - 1st round pick
EJ Manuel - 1st round pick
Jameis Winston #1 overall pick
Jake Coker (who couldn't beat out Winston and then went to Bama and played one year and won a NC).
Auburn and LSU have had one season in their history with a 3000+ yard passer. Jimbo was OC for both.
His QB coaching alone makes him a yes. Then you add in that since he's been head coach, he's one of 3 coaches not named Saban to win a NC. He has the 2nd most top 10 finishes, only to Saban. Yeah, the guy is a really good coach. He's going to finish this year and still have a better head coaching resume than Jim Harbaugh. His college coaching resume is 3rd only to Nick Saban and Urban Meyer.

Impressive
Honest question.
Is that success due to him being a great developer of QBs or is it simply a by product of his team being loaded with top 4-5 star talent playing against sub par teams?

When you have success of that level consistently it's never coincidence or a fluke or because of so much talent.
Is Sabans run at Alabama due to playing sub par teams with elite talent or is he a really fricking good coach?

Are the teams he is playing really much worse than Ole Miss, Moss State, Arkansas, Vandy, UK, etc?

No. In 2016 they played Ole Miss, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, Florida, GT, and Clemson this season.. that's not an easy schedule..
In 2014 Oklahoma St, Clemson, Notre Dame, Louisville, Miami, Florida, GT... and in 2013 they ran the table.
