It would be considered a lateral move on Jimbos part to leave FSU......meaning it would take alot of money to get him to leave FSU.
While I'm more than happy to have Jimbo or Herman, Aleva better not let money stop him from getting his top target. You just paid roughly 10 to get rid of miles plus un-retained staff, so you better find your coach and make him unable to tell you no like Alabama/Saban and Michigan/Harbaugh. You miss on Herman and/or Jimbo the circus that was the end of last season will pale in comparison. Six million better not be an issue for Alleva.

If you're going to spend a ton of money, spend it wisely, and from a business standpoint as well as on-field play.
Compare Saban and Miles- not the playing style, but the business sense of it: both coaches won big here, both won national titles. Saban was "on the ladder" here, he was always seen as the next NFL guy, and he left after 5 years. Miles- you had to fire him to get rid of him. Both got big contracts for their success, but because Miles wasn't going anywhere, we saw his salary drop back down to about average, while Saban commanded top dollar to keep him.
Apply this to Herman and Jimbo- Herman's also "on the ladder", and if he brings us back to the top, he's still going to be a young guy that the NFL will chase.
Jimbo seems like he's not looking at the NFL, and if he comes here from Fla St, it'll be because he wants to, and (like Miles turned out), he likely will stay a long time, either retire here or be run off.
If you're going to spend $15+ million to get someone in, get the guy you can keep.
