That's how I feel about it. It's easy to goof on him, but the truth is, if he is hungry and is willing to do what is necessary, he could make them dangerous again. We need to stay in charge, so I do think it will be interesting if he gets it.
He might not be an elite hire. But don't fool yourself. He would get FSU playing big boy football again. He is an elite recruiter
He is an elite recruiter like I said above. The thing is though, Mario has such a head start in recruiting the state of Florida that it will be extremely hard to beat Miami for elite Florida talent. He would probably have to find his 5 stars in the south and the DMV area, which he used to do successfully.
I mean, you didn't make those things up, so they're the facts in the case. However, he did take over an FSU program that had fallen on hard times and made them one of the best in the country for a few years - he didn't walk into a situation like Lanning did following Mario.
Elite recruiters aren't enough anymore. You need the big money now to be an elite recruiter and they didn't have enough money when Jimbo was there the first time (That is why he left). He also burned alot of bridges with their boosters. Now, with a ton less resources than what he had at College Station he is going to do better than 8-4 every year? Fools errand hiring that guy back:
He had way more resources at Texas A&M yeah he’s a good at recruiting skill players that’s it . His lack of recruiting ol got tagger an unfair chance. Wasn’t portal back j than he was stuck with jimbos ol . So with less $ and Miami not facing sanctions you believes he going to out Recuit Mario?
With a lot less money and Miami facing sanctions . They’ll call for him to be fired by year 1
FSU being dead broke is a myth.Elite recruiters aren't enough anymore.

Mario got to beat him at A&M at least.
wasn't the same. I want him to beat Jimbo in his FSU quarter zip in front of a house full of recruits
Don’t get it twisted they will have the money and he has a good personality as seen on tv. That is why he got guys and that is why he will always get players. Let’s call it what it is. It’s not only money, they say it’s only money to discredit Mario. It’s relationships/money as it has always been before NIL. It hasn’t changedElite recruiters aren't enough anymore.

I seriously doubt Jimbo’s an elite recruiter, but we will find out if he gets the FSU job. Jimbo is a vintage SEC “Bagman” specialist, he learned this trade while working as the OC/QB coach for none other than Nick Saban at LSU. Jimbo was part of Nick Saban’s staff for 7 years including their 2003 National Championship year.
