Idiot.

If 115-35 as a HC is settling sign me up.

How many times has he made the playoffs without Jameis?

Jameis is the FSU Burrow

LSU had that a few years ago and fired him due to doing practically the same thing Jimbo has throughout his career. Great win loss record and not ma wealth of hardware to show for it. 114-34 with 1 NC (2 apperances) and 2 SEC titles. Les did it in the SEC though.

Good numbers but the standards are just higher now. I just can't see Jimbo breaking that mold and being the gold standard.

Add to that 8-2 bowl record. A natty as HC and OC and 3 conference championships.

But,but,but Mel Tucker beat Michigan last week at home. So, there’s that!

Since taking over at aTm, he's barely over .700 winning percentage. Is 26-10 worth $12MM/yr?

And he left FSU in complete shambles on his way out. He took over for Bowden, won a natty with Bowden players, and then abruptly absconded for aTm and FSU still hasn't recovered from how badly he fricked them over.

But what do I know? Just continue the Jimbo orgasming on here.

That’s the mediocre ceiling he’s talking about. Sure, Jimbo will consistently go 9-3 / 10-2 and be in the conversation. But rarely, if ever, get to the promised land. That’s the part that’s a head scratcher. The money doesn’t matter to me, but the value we get for it is important for these conversations. We would have to pay Jimbo as the top coach in CFB and not get the return of the top paid coach.

This would be the laziest crap hire ever. And does he leave us like FSU when we run him off. We have run off 10 win coaches. Are we shooting for mediocrity?
