I'm not excited about Jimbo, but lets look this objectively.
-Everyone wants Riley (me included) but he consistently gets beat by the SEC top teams. He also has lost to lesser teams.
-Fickell has done well at Cincy, but we don't know how he will do in the SEC
-Kiffin (my 2nd choice) is a great offensive guy, but we don't know how good he is as a HC yet and if "bad Kiffin" will come back
-Aranda (love the guy) but has limited HC experience
-Napier has a lot of potential, but would be a high risk jump to P5 SEC
-Tucker uninspiring pick and limited track record
-Franklin has the Vandy baggage and some bizarre actions at Penn St that give me pause

So the bland Jimbo has:
-Proven success as an SEC HC
-Has won a NC and multiple 10+ win seasons at FSU
-Recruits well and develops QBs
-Knows LSU and could step in with an easy transition

Jimbo is far from a perfect choice, but who on our list is? Riley is our HR candidate, but look at how he's done this year with a loaded team. He barely beat 1 win Tulane and Kansas, had to come from behind vs Texas and struggled with Nebraska, WVU, and K State.

Have a downvote. Don't settle for a Jimbo hire. It's not 2013 anymore.

Tell me more about all these QBs he’s developed?
Also, I don’t think there’s one active NFL WR that has played for Jimbo.

He’s the embodiment of archaic offensive football.
