    Offer list has Fla, Clemson, and OSU - although not clear if those are real

    I'm sure the gator offer was real. At this point, Cousin Eddie will take whatever he can get but having offers from Dabo and Urban means this kid is for real.

    my vet went to Mississippi st and she was awesome . however she has since moved back now i have an aggy . he's meh .

    In Florida you don't come across many Aggy vets, thankfully. Mine went to UF and most out here did, with UGA and Auburn vet grads in the mix as well. Better than the Aggy vet I had back in Dallas

    Jimbo was on Bowden’s staff those years and was the de facto head coach in waiting. Anything that happened with that program in bk bobby’s last seasons also has jimbo’s fingerprints on it. 

    He was the OC for 2 years before taking over. There was some impact from him but FSU started sliding under Bowden before Jimbo got there. Bowden's kid was the OC before Jimbo and he was completely inept. Their recruiting starting dropping off in 04.

    When I say he left the program better than he found it, I'm talking in terms of facilities and program infrastructure.

    Jimbo wasn't going to be fired, just to be clear. But what was about to happen was the plummeting bookcase he pulled down on himself was about to actually land on him and crush his ass. His program wasn't getting any better, he wasn't getting any support or leeway from his board and administrators and boosters, he was facing new and hungrier enemies all over Florida, and he wasn't going to be getting any new or massive pay raises at Florida State after he self-immolated the entire program from the inside out. Oh, and reports are his players had turned on the guy. So he packed up his bags, took the last massive pay raise he was likely ever going to get, and moved to hillbilly land where he will be worshiped like a god for once winning something somewhere else. Period.

     

    "Sees the future." All aggy ever sees is the motherfucking future. It's a perpetual utopia that permanently stays fixed on the horizon no matter how fast they run, like children chasing rainbows all afternoon after a spring shower and swearing that just 1 more mile and they'll have their pot of gold. 

    I wouldn't say he wasn't getting any support from admin and boosters. They weren't as inclined to cave into his demands because the guy is a colossal asshole who burned every bridge he had there. The former president at FSU, Eric Barron, made Jimbo go to anger management classes because of how he treated people. And that was back in 2012

    Jimbo is great at building a program but not sustaining it.

  5. "Florida is a poor state compared to Texas. He was limited there"

    First statement is stretching it. Florida isn't poor. Is it an economic giant like Texas? No but to call it poor is stretching it.

    Second statement is horseshit. Jimbo was limited in the fact that he wasn't given unfettered control over the purse strings.

    If any of you know your Texags/360 board history - this is the older brother of “Tagteam”

     

    I knew him IRL....

     

    Dallas Jesuit, aggy, fat, unathletic, suburban.

     

    100% B team.

     

    Definition of aggy.

     

    Just going to Jesuit garners douchebag status. Jesuit and Aggy..... doubling down.

    Well, FSU certainly wasn't dumb enough to match $75M, even by not making it all guaranteed, so we won't know just how far he overplayed his hand. Was FSU going to fire him? I doubt it. Would they have let him go without a fight had aggy offered $1 more than his current contract? Possibly.

    That's pretty much what happened. 

  8. "the planned new stand alone football only facility that was already funded and "under architectural study by the athletic department" in early 2017. FWIW - it is a go and will be happening."

    They're still debating on whether to convert the Moore Center to an FOF or build an entirely new facility. I lived over near Doak Campbell Stadium when I went to graduate school at FSU. Not a whole lot of land for them to work with in that area for a standalone building. 

    Fisher demanded they bulldoze the baseball stadium and rebuild it on the intramural fields which would prove very difficult as well. He wasn't patient with the planning process and he became worse after Clemson finished theirs.

  9. Fisher always had an excuse or boogeyman to deflect away, as golfclap mentioned, why a team loaded with blue chip talent was playing so poorly.

    No reasonable person with even an ounce of critical thinking skills bought into that bullshit. Resources aren't an issue at FSU. Jimbo wanting and getting control over everything was the issue. They weren't going to give him full control.

    Since A&M is spending money like a sailor on shore leave, Jimbo won't have any excuses for underperformance.

    No half-informed FSU fan believes any of Jimbo's horseshit. He went all in on a shitty hand and took a bad beat. Fisher was getting his ass kicked on and off the field by Dabo and Clemson and the way he was deflecting blame was to make the facilities race between Clemson and FSU the boogeyman. It was total bullshit since there was not an issue in landing top tier talent at FSU. It was simply a way to deflect from the shitty job he was doing as HC. It also helped that Fisher has small man syndrome and was trying to piss down Andy Miller's leg. 

    FFS the boosters spent more than $150MM in facility upgrades since 2012. 

     

     

     

    Couldn't have said it better myself. He started crying like a little girl for a FOF once Clemson finished theirs. Jimbo doesn't understand the concepts of patience and collaboration. Real estate is at a premium in Tallahassee and FSU has land constraints that schools in the boonies, like Clemson and A&M, don't have.
