re: What in the hell is Jimbo Fisher selling these kids to get them to commit

FSU has always recruited well but Fisher has kicked it up a notch over the last few years of Bowden. The reasons are mainly that he's hitting the right spots where FSU is very popular(AL/southern GA),UF and Miami are down(UF still recruits at a very high level though),he's selling a dream that can't be recruited against just yet(another disappointing year next year may begin to kick that door down) and he has a majorly badass recruiting staff. Go take a gander at the staff he has and you'll get a better understanding of how they are pulling these kids. 3 names tell the story. James Coley(top notch recruiter that acts just like the kids he recruits), Eddie Gran(may be the best FL recruiter in the country) and Dameyune Craig(the best young recruiter in the country aside from Tosh Lupoi). Fisher learned very well from the Saban coaching class and has used his knowledge the best of all the Saban coaching tree. Problem is that he just isn't a good HC imo. He's a good ceo type HC but he needs big time coaches around if he's going to be successful.

Pretty much agree. Oh and you hit James Coley on the head...lol. I will give Jimbo a lil more time before I write him off as being a good Head coach.

1st season 10-4
2nd season 9-4
Year 3 he got to win the conference.

But that is still better than 3(Bobby last seasons) consecutive 7-6 seasons.
