re: Orlando Sentinel: Why would FSU coach Jimbo Fisher take a lesser job at LSU?

I sent him this:

As a Florida guy I don't expect you to understand, but you're pretty much on your own in thinking Florida State is better than any SEC job, including LSU. You say Jimbo should stay at FSU because it's easier to win. Well, did you ever consider that Jimbo is not one to puss out and stay where it's comfortable? That maybe he thinks he's a good enough coach to take on the best and wants to push himself to be the best he can be?

The LSU job presents a tremendous challenge-one that all elite coaches should crave. You really think Jimbo wants no part of that? That he wants to avoid heavy competition? To me, that's actually kind of insulting. He's coached at LSU and still has a great relationship with them and Louisiana. To think it's unrealistic for LSU to land Jimbo is, in my opinion--and as you put it, arrogant. Your article seems like a desperate plea for him to stay. You're obviously entitled to your opinion-it's your job. But you call LSU snobby and arrogant...so what do you call your article?

ETA: Thanks OP for posting it so I didn't actually have to click the article.
