I can see him taking the best opportunity to just get out. The Noles are effectively in a rebuild and it's going to be tough for him to build things back up with Clemson and now Miami on the rise.
Never really been impressed with him. He's very fortunate to have taken over FSU during a time when Miami and UF were at their worst.
Texas A&M has more money, more fans, better facilities, a better stadium, better boosters, and at least as good a recruiting base as Florida State.
FSU is nothing but what Bobby Bowden built. And every year that goes by is another year farther away from that legacy. Texas A&M is a good coach away from being a really good program.
That said... Jimbo is not a good coach, and I personally hope he stays at FSU forever.
Lol. Tamu is a garbage program with no history, an overrated recruiting base, and no modern success at all. FSU already is a really good program.
The only success FSU has had as a program is built on the legacy of Bobby Bowden. TAMU is a good coach away from being a dominant program. There is a reason the SEC pursued them and was willing to take garbage Missouri along for the ride just to get them.
If you think the recruiting base in Texas/Louisiana is overrated then you're a fool.
Hilarious to me how many closet FSU fans we have on this site.
You are really not sharp.
First, who cares if FSU’s “only success” was built by Bobby Bowden? Most schools have one legendary coach. Most schools aren’t Miami who has done with four coaches. They just won a national title four years ago with Jimbo, so you’re just wrong.
TAMU is second in Their own state. In Florida, there isn’t really a recruiting pecking order in the state. It’s by geographic location more than anything. In Texas, it’s UT first, then everybody else. And in Louisiana, it’s LSU first, then everybody else.
Third, TAMU is not a fun college atmosphere for a lot of kids and its pretty button down. Tallahassee is a normal college town with FAMU.
Going to TAMU makes zero sense for anybody at a good power five job. Their fans think they are a ntional championship program but it’s been almost 100 years since they’ve won one. Why would anybody go to a place where it is impossible to meet expectations? TAMU has NEVER been a “dominant program.” Sucking off some **** school that has never done anything is bizarre.
I’m not an FSU fan just because I think there’s no basis to act like TAMU is anything other than a middling program whose peak is winning the conference once every 4 to 5 years. Why there’s a group of people who think these sh1tty schools are secretly awesome jobs, I ‘ll never know,
