Jimbo’s comments

He should have been hired already.

on the schedule are on point from ACC Network last night. These kids need to learn how to play tough. One play at a time and wins will follow. He wants the job back so bad.

dude is like art briles or jeremy pruitt .. he needs to rehab first .. take a job as a consultant / OC or something for a year. Prove his head is back in the game

It must kill him to see such incompetence running the program right now.

Big talk from the one who literally tanked the program. We do need adults back in the room but Jimbo likely ain’t it.

So many of you forget he held FSU hostage every year for 3 years before he left, and then he left like a thief in the night, Christmas tree on the side of the road. If he was such a great coach with all the $ he had at A&M he should have done more. I for one would never bring him back as a coach here. It is like you want to go back to your ex wife who stepped out on you with pool boy because she is available again. If he is such a great hire now why have no other schools offered him???

he was, and left

I believe why you don’t see him getting a coaching job is 3 pronged, financially secure and has a gig, contributed FSU decline, and started todo the same at Texas AM. He isn’t academic friendly. Example 20 coaching jobs came open and not much talk about him. Not a popular commodity in coaching circle at present.

He has been on TV every week to demonstrate his "rehabilitation". How much proof do you need that his head is back in the game?

I’m grateful for the time and success Jimbo had at FSU. There is nothing in his background or personality that says he would be successful in today’s game. His failure at Texas A&M should be the prime example to everyone for that.

everyone is entitled to their opinion on jimbo after the bad breakup. but one thing I don't think can be debated is that he would be a much better head coach than our current clown. he is spot on that we need to focus on being tough and violent. norvell has bred a soft finesse culture that simply can't compete with physical opponents. we got bullied by uva and stanford (among others), let that sink in. that's how soft norvell has made this program.

And 27 of those 83 wins came with Jameis at QB. Without Jameis, he was pretty good but not elite.

"pretty good" sounds pretty good right about now. beats the hell out of "really bad"

At a minimum, Jimbo took us to at least a bowl game every season he coached here.

Jimbo was and is a better coach than MN especially in coaching and recruiting I’d take Jimbo back in a heartbeat MN has been at FSU for almost 7 years and how many winning seasons I’m just ready for my NOLES to be great again

Dude, Jimbo stopped recruiting. That is the lifeline of your program even more so back then without the portal. Not recruiting is literally tanking your program.

No decent coach is going to take the job until our AD changes his ways

I agree! Jimbo wants to come back to Tallahassee.

Or, he built this program back up into a national champion when it was declining by evaluating and acquiring the talent which was one of his strong suits. Also, what you just posted is a rumor regardless of what you "heard" that isn't how it played out. I've said it before, mistakes were made, but that last season doesn't define anything that Jimbo did here, The statements he made in that clip are 100% true. Hurts me to say it but this team has played soft.

Do any of us believe that Jimbo and Alford would get along? Instead of money for facilities Jimbo would be wearing ole Mike out about money for players. Mike Alford would not know what hit him.

Was Jimbo better than Mike? Obviously. He is not right for this job. Do any of you remember his offenses? How bad the Olines were? How Dalvin was pretty much a 1 man offense for 2 years? Not as important but still important. He treats people like crap. I know few of you hold character above wins but I'm sure the people in that building have no interest in working with that a hole ever again.
