Jimbo had a single season with 2 losses or less without Jameis at QB. Other than that, 3 to 4 losses was the norm. Does that sound like its worth $7.5MM/yr?

Jimbo was considered a developer of quarterbacks.
I wonder which one they are talking about. He coached several talented quarterbacks, but the only one that showed significant improvement was Matt Mauck. The rest were pretty much the same player from day 1 till they finished their career. Matt Flynn's major improvement came under Crowton.

I see what you're getting at, but you can't ignore back-to-back undefeated regular seasons with an NC win against an SEC team included no matter who the QB is. Petrino has a phenomenal Heisman-winning QB...they have 8 losses in the last two years. Dabo Sweeney never went undefeated with DeShaun Watson who was a phenomenal talent. Both coaches were in the same conference as Jimbo. In the 2nd undefeated regular season, they won against Clemson (who finished in the top 15) with a backup QB because Old Crab Leg was suspended.
