He isn't from Louisiana and never went to school here. I know he coached here before but why is Jimbo leaving another Power 5 school, where he recently won a championship, for LSU? Is LSU that much of a better job/pay raise than FSU? Has he ever stated in the past that LSU was a dream job?

I'm just trying to understand why he would leave FSU for LSU (besides his wife banging a former Gator football player and going through a divorce)?

Know who else isn't from Louisiana?

Bill Arnsparger
Mike Archer
Charles McClendon
Curley Hallman
Gerry Dinardo
Nick Saban
Les Miles

Pretty much every head coach LSU has ever had. Where you're from doesn't matter. Money and chances to win championships do.

Jimbo isn't from Florida; he is from West Virginia. So what is the connection to Florida State? Coaches know when they get in this profession they will move multiple times looking for the next opportunity. There are no more Joe Paterno's out there.

you ask what's his connection other than spending the a majority of his coaching career here.. And being a part of something special.

Why did Bobby Petrino go back to Louisville after the Arky drama? That man is from Montana! I know it's not the same bc of much different circumstances and opportunities.. but the point is he returned where he felt most comfortable or at home.

Why is so far fetched for people to believe this exist? it's not too often a HC job opens up at LSU..

LSU HC job>>>>>>>FSU HC job, & it isn't close.

Facilities, support, recruiting in LA, program history all far exceeded at LSU.
