re: Jimbo is the crazy crossroads of completely settling while paying the highest salary

It is a pretty underwhelming and uninspired hire, if it holds to be true.

His floor is something like 8 wins, which would be great for a lot of other programs. But then his ceiling isn't much higher, maybe 10 wins.

The seldom year he gets that 11th win against a team like Bama and his team looks legit, he's shown he'll drop an inexplicable game to someone like Miss St. (who seems to have his number) or Arkansas.

His W-L record will be great on paper, but not perennial contender worthy. He'll have records like 8-4, 9-3, 10-2, 9-3, 11-1, 9-3, 10-2, etc etc.

Just good enough to have a great win percentage overall, but never quite getting over the hump when he loses that inexplicable game to keep his team out of the playoff
