1. OK, Jimbo didn't "cause" the decline. But there was a decline. Jimbo's final season at F$U was 5-6. Let's not pretend that didn't happen.
2. It's always funny when people put literal terms in quotation marks (and believe me, I use a LOT of quotation marks, but correctly, and not in this ridiculous way). Why did he call it "His offense"? Jimbo was an OC before he was a HC. I'm fairly certain it's "his offense" (intentional quotation marks). And why is "his offense" NOT, in fact "outdated"? Jimbo is going into his third year of NOT coaching, and his final three records at aTm were 8-4 (why does THAT sound familiar?), 5-7, and 6-4 before the firing. So, yeah, it will be 6 years since Jimbo went 9-1 in the COVID season. Is it really so criminal to believe that "his offense" is actually "outdated"?
3. aTm is often referred to as "Texas 8 & 4" (intentional quotation marks). Going 8-4 is a 0.667 winning percentage. Jimbo's actual winning percentage at aTm was 0.643. So, you know, Jimbo coached at "Texas Not Quite 8 &4". If that is "fine" at a huge & wealthy SEC school, then we may need to redefine the word.
4. Jimbo is still "relevant" (Juevos Banchero provided the quotation marks), apparently because he landed the number one recruiting class in 2022. Uh, OK...the highest rated player (Walter Nolen) portaled out. The third highest rated player (Evan Stewart) portaled out. The fourth highest rated player (LT Overton) portaled out. The fifth highest rated player (Gabriel Brownlow-No-Dindy) portaled out. The sixth highest rated player (Conner Weigman) portaled out. The seventh highest rated player (Denver Harris) portaled out. The eighth highest rated player (Chris Marshall) portaled out. BUT HEY, congratulations on keeping Shemar Stewart!!! On to the 4 stars...the 9th highest rated player (Jacoby Mathews) portaled out. The 10th highest rated player (Enai White) portaled out. The 11th highest rated player (Anthony Lucas) portaled out. The 12th highest rated player (Kam Dewberry) portaled out. The 13th highest rated player (Smoke Bouie) portaled out. The 14th highest rated player (PJ Wiliams) portaled out. Maybe, JUST MAYBE, this "number one recruiting class in 2022" is part of the problem. aTm, quite literally, only kept ONE of their top 14 recruits from that "amazing" recruiting class.
