What is the thought process behind "It's NOT Jimbo?"

Jimbo seems too damn logical. I know it doesn't excite all fans but what am I missing to not think this is the guy here?

Geez man.... pay attention.

#1 WE DON"T WANT HIM.

#2 We went round and round with him and his agent twice and got played.

#3 he's getting $9 mill from A&M.

THEY CAN KEEP HIM

His claim to fame at a1m is beating LSU twice and bama this year.

Too much money and I think he's on the downside of his career.

We'd basically be Miles era again with him. shite offense, can't develop a QB, great defense. NO!

Why is it logical?

I want nothing to do with the contract that A&M gave him.

I think they tried to go after him but that was shut down early. I think that’s why he got his massive contract before the season. But I’m not ruling it out.

No coach has parlayed one elite season into having an elite reputation quite like Jimbo has. Props to his marketing folks.

Here is why Jimbo is in Woodwards top 2

1) He has no buyout. That puts him as the #1 financial target. His salary gets offset by not having to pay his buyout. Smart move on his part. he gets all the $$$, rather than A&M getting a part

2) They have a good working history together

3) He produces. Still. Has 2 NC rings. #4 team in the nation. Capable of beating THE coach

4) Is very good on the offensive side of the ball. Which LSU has not had in a HC since before Saban

5) They have known each other for over 21 years, having been hired by LSU in 2000.



Here is why Jimbo would come to LSU

A) He has no buyout

B) LSU is fertile recruiting ground

C) A&M is now returning to the good old days of being the Longhorns step brother. Jimbo is smart enough to know that Texas will get the prime TV slots once in the SEC

D) He has wanted the LSU job since Miles and Ed took it from him. Its just one of those conquest things. He is driven

E) He knows once Saban is gone, all championships go through LSU. We have won 2 in the Saban era, and would have won more under capable coaches. That doesnt happen at A&M. And this might be his last shot at LSU, ever

Old. Expensive. At the bottom of my list.

Aggie melt would be hilarious, but at least Tucker would have some potential upside in the fact that he’s on the front-end of his career.

And yes... Jimbo is an offensive coach, but he’s not doing anything special in terms of scheme.

The only worse hires out there would be Bob Stoops or Dabo. Get some young blood, not a washup with a brand name.

Jimbo has $100M guaranteed from aTm. LSU would have to at least match that. Jimbo is not worth $100M.

I have wanted Jimbo for years, dating back to 2015. He is as close to a sure thing as we can get these days.

With that said, it feels like the ship has sailed. The thought process is he's in a great spot and he spent the last 3 years building his foundation.

The only diff is LSU has a history of championships. Maybe thats enough to get him, but I don't see it. I think he knows it will take the same amount of effort to win a natty at LSU v TAM.
