Auburn would be a step down for Jimbo. Doesn't mean he wouldn't take the job, but I can't imagine why anyone would leave the state of Florida and a historically top-tier program like FSU that plays in a conference that is a quick route to a BCS game to play in the uber-competitive SEC West. Just my thoughts.

Hmm, when was the last time they played in this easy route to the BCS Championship?

It's a step down because of the reasons I cited. FSU was a top-10 program of the 80's and arguably the program of the 90's. That's a pretty strong resume, IMO. Perhaps historically top-tier is an exaggeration, but they've been solid.
Plays in a conference with an automatic tie-in to a BCS bowl? Check. Plays in a conference that isn't as strong, top-to-bottom, as the SEC? Check. To me that pretty much screams easy route to a big game. It just means the right person has to come along and bring them there. Jimbo could very well be that guy.
ETA: And FSU has hauled in the recruits the last few years. That's not saying the cupboard is bare at Auburn by any means, it just means FSU has the talent to succeed with the proper coaching.

if you look at the numbers, the SEC has had two BCS participants several years... I hear what you're saying about the schedule, but the difficulty of the conference helps put more teams in big games.
Isn't the ACC's #2 bowl tie-in the Chik-fil-a Bowl?... just sayin.

Oh the "historically top tier program" and the easy route to the bcs
They may have had a good run in for about a 15 year period, but fell off the face of the earth after old man weinke left.
Their easy path to the bcs, again when was the last time that conference played compared to the sec.
Auburn is no where near a step down from fsu, it's a lateral move. He has ties to auburn, loves auburn, has interviewed with auburn in the past, and will listen to what auburn has to offer. Does that mean, he will come? No. Do I think he will come? I'd say 25% chance. I do think he will listen, but more than likely use it to gauge his worth to the fsu program.

You don't read so well, do you? I've repeatedly said BCS bowl, i.e., Orange Bowl. The whole automatic tie-in bit should have made that obvious.
Posted on 11/9/12 at 3:44 pm to Matisyeezy
Okay, and my argument still holds water, which conference has made more bcs bowl than any other?

As does mine. As another poster said, the strength of the SEC makes it easier for a one or two loss team to squeeze into both the MNC as well as BCS bowl games (not to mention an undefeated one, obviously). It's just incredibly more difficult to succeed at that level year in and year out when there are so many solid teams that you have to get up for each week.
FSU can almost out-talent their competition every week. With the difficulty of running the table, it's hard to imagine an undefeated FSU team getting shut out unless it's a year like this year where you could have a handful of undefeated teams. Jimbo has it made right where he is, IMO.
