Jimbo has accomplished more in CFB than both of them combined

Has he?

Obrien took over a team that lost several players and scholarships due to NCAA sanctions and still managed a very respectable showing.

Chip Kelly had 2 1 loss seasons and 1 2 loss season in 4 years (and a 3 loss season in his first).

Jimbo had a 0, a 1 and a 2 loss season in seven years. He has also had a 3 loss season and 2 4 loss seasons and is in the midst of at least a 3 loss season, possibly a 4 or 5 loss season.

Jimbo has near equivalent resources and an equivalent talent base in a weaker conference where he's arguably had success at about the rate Miles had.

he's been to 2 national championships in 13,14. he also never lost the championship scoring 0 points so he's got that going for him
Jimbo will have a better defenses here. When he had good defense at FSU he won the championship.

So at a school that has always been know for having stout defenses, he has seen that slip?

No but he let an Oregon team hang 59 points on him and lost by 39 points. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is a much higher point differential than 21.

And in his National Championship win he barely beat an Auburn team that was in the playoffs due to a fluke play (which I loved, admittedly) on a last minute field goal. That Auburn team lost 1 game that year to a Les Miles coached team by a score of 35-21.

I'm not anti Jimbo, I am not at all enamored with Kelley but I don't think those statements here are really accurate.
