This is funny, and the best part is, it is 100% how Jimbo and his agent operate. He will be renegotiating every fucking year, or trying to.
This is true. It will be especially interesting when Jimbo and his agent start leaking false shit to the press about A&M, just like they did with FSU. That relationship will get interesting once he pulls that stunt.

Maybe Jimbo is finally starting to realize what everyone else already knew:
You took a step down and took a less prestigious job you hillbilly fuckwit. Aggy has never won shit and never will.

Torrey Davis was a fucking 5* from Armwood, was he not? I'm sure there are more but if you think that FSU getting guys from Armwood isn't showing that Taggart is opening new doors, then you've got your fucking head buried in the sand as it is.
first google result shows Jones, Davis, Alvin Bailey, and Mike Pearson. Too lazy to go further than the first 4 results, but I think that's more than enough.
Exactly. Lest we also forget that Coach Callahan would barely let FSU coaches, or Miami for that matter, in the door.
Taggart is a recruiting animal and he's supposedly done a great job cleaning up the mess Jimbo left.

I thought that the close to his transition class was pretty good, and he did a good job filling a few holes with guys that are your traditional transition class guys. A few of them won't make it 2 years but it looks good for the class ranking and you take a flyer on them getting straight. Even knowing Mullen as a pretty meh recruiter (He's never going to be pulling top 5 classes in year-over-year, but that's not what you hire Mullen to do), I thought he'd be able to put something together coming off of that close and build a nice 2019 class. That has NOT been the case. This 2019 class is scary for them though because almost every difference maker in-state is trending away.
It's clear from his approach that he is NOT utilizing his university the way that Chang and Herman do, and that he CLEARLY needs to hire better people in terms of not just media, but planning/coordination/events/scheduling, all of those detail elements. They are 2nd rate at everything and it shows. He's been pushed around by Taggart and several schools that have been longtime Gator-feeders have opened their doors to Willie and are shutting Florida out. 2020 is trending the same way and if Taggart is able to get FSU to even play just to their ability they'll win 10 and then it's going to be a fucking bloodbath. Mullen is going to have to identify some perfect scheme fit 3* guys and his hit rate is going to have to be damn good for him to get anything rolling because Richt isn't going anywhere and it sure AF looks like Taggart is going to use FSU to it's fullest and if they win 10, you can be assured that the Noles 2019 and 2020 classes will be fucking LOADED. Another interesting thing is that Moorehead is putting together a pretty damn salty class at MSU and I don't think he's Mack Brown reincarnate.
The thing that Mullen has going for him (just like Taggart and FSU) is that the Gators underperformed so much last season that flipping the outcome of 3-4 games seems plausible. That Nov 25th matchup could make the 2020 UF class, or it could sink it completely. (*I think the 2019 class is already sunk)
Realted: It looks like Jahleel Billingsley (who was a supposed silent to UF) is headed back to Penn State. I'm gonna go ahead and pencil that in as another lock trending away from UF.
Agree with everything you said. Mullen is getting his ass kicked in-state by Taggart and Richt. Sanders could still wind up at UF but their class is not looking good right now. I've heard Mullen doesn't give off the warm and fuzzies in recruiting.
Taggart pulled in an Armwood kid in the 2018 class and that place has been a Gator pipeline for years. He's also tearing it up in the Tampa Bay area.

Must admit I'm a bit surprised Medley committed to A&M. Of the two, I've heard Rayburn has the higher upside.
What I heard locally is that FSU and UF like Medley but weren't making him a priority.

Wow. They beat out Buffalo, Indiana, and UAB for the 1286th ranked prospect in the country. Very impressive.
When a Florida kid, one from Tallahassee no less, doesn't have a single offer from an in state school, that should tell you something.

I think you're being wildly optimistic with your Toss-ups, but yeah, for the purposes of this exercise I agree. Best case is 4 losses. And at this point I think Kentucky is a toss-up, and Scar I view as a flat out beating. Muschamp loves beating aTm. Fucking loves it.
Agree that Kentucky is a toss up. Shouldn't forget that Mark Stoops and Eddie Gran used to work for Jimbo at FSU. They know his offense and his tendencies.

Taggart will be in a uniquely strong position to negative recruit against aggy, if he even needs to. If FSU actually wants those guys, I'll be $hocked if aggy can beat them out.
Agreed. I haven't heard about his staff going negative yet on Aggy. Rumor has it Jimbo went negative on FSU with Nakobe Dean saying "you don't need to look at FSU because I'm not there anymore". Supposedly didn't go over well with him or his family.
FSU got an upgrade at OL coach in Greg Frey and he can recruit.

Edit: damn, golfclap beat me to it.
I did some asking around out here in FL and Rayburn actually does have interest in Aggy but...he and Medley visited FSU today. Supposedly both are blown away by all the positive changes Taggart has made since he started cleaning up Jimbo's mess.
Medley is more interested in Clemson and FSU than he is Aggy.

A general question: I know Florida State turned out alot of NFL talent, but was there OL development worth a shit? It doesn't seem like they did very well there.
That's mostly because Jimbo wouldnt get rid of Rick Trickett, the old OL coach.

Did one of his relatives all of a sudden get a new Trans Am?

Aggie Picnic: Lots of big names set for A&M this weekend
(Photo: Greg Powers, 247Sports)
Texas A&M is holding a big recruiting event this coming weekend with a picnic on Saturday. The Aggies are expecting quite a few top prospects in town. We will add to this list throughout the week as we confirm more names but these are the ones we have confirmed so far. In addition, almost all of the current commits are expected as well.
OFFICIAL VISITORS
-A&M will be hosting a pair of offensive linemen from Pensacola, Fla., this weekend on official visits in Adrian Medley and Hunter Rayburn. This is the first official visit for both and they have said they'd like to play together at the next level. They are both early enrollees and have seen a ton of offers come in as of late, especially Rayburn. Despite them being from out of state, A&M is in very good shape with both and some in Florida believe there's a good chance they eventually end up as Aggies.
CLASS OF 2019
-Katy Cinco Ranch LB David Gbenda:The state's top inside linebacker prospect is a lot higher on A&M than most think and he will be in town on Saturday. He still plans to use his official visits in the fall before making a decision but the Aggies are in good shape.
-Houston Madison CB Bobby Wolfe:The one-time Aggie pledge still plans to announce a commitment sometime in the next month or so. He canceled an official visit to Florida last weekend and it looks good for the Aggies to get him back in the boat when he does announce again.
-Fort Bend Bush CB Erick Young: Young says he 'likely' will be there. He has an announcement date of July 4 and, despite planning to take officials to USC and Ohio State later this month, there are a lot of expectations that he will be an Aggie.
-Atlanta (Ga.) Lovett LB Nick Jackson:The 6-foot-2, 217-pound defender was offered by A&M in late April and wanted to check out the Aggies. He will get his chance this weekend as he makes his way to College Station.
-Dickinson TE Jalen Wydermyer: A&M has one tight end committed but the Aggies are still in talks with Wydermyer as well. He has been a hot prospect as of late, picking up quite a few big offers, but he says he will likely be in Aggieland this weekend. He does not plan to announced anytime soon.
-Buford (Ga.) Lanier QB Zach Calzada:Fresh of the Elite 11 finals, Calzada is visiting UCLA, North Carolina and A&M this week. He will be in town on Friday and Saturday and the Aggies want to see him throw in person at camp.
-Horn Lake (Miss.) LB Nakobe Dean:The five-star prospect told 247Sports that he will 'supposedly' be taking an unofficial to A&M this weekend. What exactly he meant by the word 'supposedly,' he said he meant that he was not 100-percent sure if he was visiting just yet. A&M has a very legitimate shot at the nation's No. 27 overall prospect, though, even if he does not make it this coming weekend
I notice Perroni left out that Medley and Rayburn are visiting FSU on Thursday. I get it though. We have to throw a bone to the red ass Aggys who actually believe they can waltz into Florida and take who they want. Those of us who live back here in reality know that isn't the case. Medley has Clemson and FSU on the top of his list and Rayburn supposedly has FSU and UF as his top schools.
Nakobe Dean ain't going to Aggy. That's a pipe dream Perroni.

10 QBs Aggies will watch from the Elite 11 Finals
ByDAMON SAYLES 12 minutes agoJayden Daniels (Photo: Gerard Martinez, 247Sports)
The Elite 11 Finals kicks off today and runs through Sunday in Redondo Beach, California. The annual event features some of the best high school quarterbacks in the nation receiving one-on-one instruction and participating in multiple competitions for the right to be considered a member of one of the most prestigious clubs for high school signal-callers.
The event features 24 quarterbacks from around the country, and they will endure a three-span of on-field drills, as well as off-field instruction. Of those 24 athletes, several are players who Texas A&M has been in contact with and is keeping an eye on throughout the 2019 recruiting cycle.
Here are 10 players to watch between today and Sunday. All names are listed in alphabetical order.
Hometown/school: Buford, Georgia/Lanier HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 13 pro-style QB, No. 411 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 19 pro-style QB, No. 615 player overall
Commitment status: Uncommitted
Calzada is a 3-star prospect with 39 reported offers. Texas A&M offered him on May 17 and recently told GigEm247 he is interested in making a visit to the campus sometime in June.
Calzada threw for 1,706 yards and 15 touchdowns as a junior. North Carolina State is a team to watch in his process, as is Northwestern.Hometown/school: San Bernadino, California/Cajon HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 190 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 1 dual-threat QB, No. 111 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 2 dual-threat QB, No. 78 player overall
Commitment status: Uncommitted
Daniels put up monster numbers as a junior, and he's expected to put up even bigger numbers for his senior year. Daniels threw for 5,139 yards and 62 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,292 yards and 15 scores. He was offered by Texas A&M on April 5, but UCLA and USC are the schools believed to be the Aggies' biggest competition.
Hometown/school: Monument, Colorado/Palmer Ridge HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 192
247Sports rank: No. 12 pro-style QB, No. 369 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 17 pro-style QB, No. 423 player overall
Commitment status: Committed to Colorado
Evans committed to Arkansas as a sophomore but decommitted in November. He then committed to Colorado in January and has said he's solid with his pledge. Evans, however, is still a prime target for Texas A&M and several other schools, including Michigan and Ole Miss. Evans threw for 3,627 yards and 42 touchdowns as a junior. He was offered by Texas A&M on Feb. 16.
Hometown/school: Houston/St. Pius X HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-6, 222 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 2 pro-style QB, No. 109 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 3 pro-style QB, No. 97 player overall
Commitment status: Uncommitted
Few quarterbacks have thrown for as many yards as Gunnell in a three-year span. He has 11,356 passing yards and 142 touchdowns under his belt, including 4,936 yards and 61
touchdowns his junior year. A one-time Texas A&M commit, Gunnell is thought to be leaning toward Arizona and joining former Aggie head coach Kevin Sumlin-- who he originally committed to.Hometown/school: Orange, California/Orange Lutheran HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-4, 222 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 6 pro-style QB, No. 188 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 6 pro-style QB, No. 165 player overall
Commitment status: Committed to South Carolina
Hilinski has all the tools -- good size, a strong arm and a will to win -- to be a special quarterback at the college level. He threw for 3,749 yards and 33 touchdowns, and he completed 70 percent of his passes while throwing only six interceptions. Hilinski committed to South Carolina on April 4 but added a Texas A&M offer on March 25.
Hometown/school: Eugene, Oregon/Sheldon HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-2.5/192 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 13 dual-threat QB, No. 672 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 4 dual-threat QB, No. 199 player overall
Commitment status: Uncommitted
Johnson on May 3 announced a top seven of North Carolina State, Arizona State, Nebraska, LSU, Oregon, Penn State and Miami. Four days later, he was offered by Texas A&M and has since spoken highly about Jimbo Fisher and receivers coach Dameyune Craig. In three high school seasons, Johnson has thrown for 5,565 yards and 69 touchdowns and has rushed for 1,878 yards and 28 scores.
Hometown/school: Port Neches, Texas/Port Neches-Groves HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-1, 192 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 7 dual-threat QB/No. 415 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 5 dual-threat QB/No. 200 player overall
Commitment status: Committed to Texas
Johnson is believed to be a firm commit to Texas. The Aggies offered on Dec. 1, 2016, during the stint of the old coaching staff. Johnson's ability to beat you with his legs is just as imposing as his arm strength. His stats are intriguing: He threw for 2,918 yards and 35 touchdowns and also rushed for 1,627 yards and 29 touchdowns as a junior.
Hometown/school: Leawood, Kansas/Blue Valley North HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-3, 205 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 7 pro-style QB, No. 192 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 5 pro-style QB, No. 145 player overall
Commitment status: Committed to Wisconsin
A lot has been said about Mertz regarding his commitment to Wisconsin. While he has said on several occasions that he is firm with the Badgers, it's no secret that several schools -- Texas A&M included -- are trying to flip the talented signal-caller. He threw for 3,684 yards and 45 touchdowns as a junior and will remain a topic of discussion among Texas A&M fans until signing day.
Hometown/school: Phoenix/Pinnacle HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 180 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 3 pro-style QB/No. 113 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 1 pro-style QB/No. 42 player overall
Commitment status: Committed to Oklahoma
Texas A&M offered Rattler under the old staff back in January 2016, but Rattler ultimately committed to Oklahoma on June 27 of last year. In three varsity seasons, Rattler has thrown for 9,220 yards and 93 touchdowns. His junior season included 3,946 passing yards and 45 touchdowns, and he completed 65 percent of his passes.
Hometown/school: Houston/ Clear Lake HS
Height, weight: 6-foot-2, 184 pounds
247Sports rank: No. 79 ATH/No. 858 player overall
247Sports Composite rank: No. 73 ATH/No. 839 player overall
Commitment status: Uncommitted
An event like the Elite 11 Finals is the perfect opportunity for Suiaunoa to prove that he is a "quarterback" rather than an "athlete." He doesn't have a Texas A&M offer, but he was on campus on May 25 and is building a good relationship with Fisher, offensive coordinator Darrell Dickey and the rest of the staff. Suiaunoa threw for 2,274 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushed for 801 yards and eight scores last season.
And they probably won't land a single one of those guys. Johnson will wind up at Miami and Daniels will stay on the West Coast

Final full spring eval week: Looking at the new A&M offers
(Photo: Brian Perroni, 247Sports)
The spring evaluation period officially ends this coming Thursday and the Texas A&M coaches were busy during the last full week. While they were out on the road, several new offers went out both within the Lone Star State borders and to players all over the country.
-St. Petersburg (Fla.) HS DT Keenan Hester: The 6-foot-5, 280-pound senior-to-be was offered by the Aggies last Sunday. Hester held several early offers but, for some reason, did not see more start coming in until a few weeks ago. A&M, Louisville, North Carolina and Tennessee are his most recent offers and he is still very open.
Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep DT Jason Blissett: A&M DT coach Elijah Robinson spent a lot of time in the Northeast this week and the 6-foot-3.5, 271-pound Blissett is one of the players he went to see. He called the A&M offer ‘huge.’ Blissett, who plays end in high school and could keep doing so, does not necessarily have a list of favorites but likes the Aggies and also plans to visit Duke, Virginia and Wake Forest.-Tallahassee (Fla.) Godby LB Tarian Lee Jr.: The 6-foot-2, 203-pound defender is a player that A&M went by to see recently and, on Thursday, the Aggies offered. Lee’s film is solid but, for whatever reason, he only has a handful of offers. He could very well be one to watch.
-Pittsburg ATH Keontae Burns: The 6-foot-3, 177-pound East Texan can play either receiver or safety, though he says the Aggies offered him at receiver. He has been pretty hot as of late with Alabama also recently offering. Some people in East Texas felt the Aggie offer was a really big one for Burns and that A&M is a major player. Arkansas is in good shape as well
2 Florida guys the Noles, Gators and Canes aren't even looking at. Bravo Aggy. Sloppy seconds has always been your thing.

I never understood the Elko love. I think he's a decent to good defensive coordinator but he's nowhere close to same ballpark as the other rumored candidates such as Aranda and Foster.
Adjusted defense under Elko: '17 ND-27th, '16 WF-22nd, '15 WF-46th, '14 WF-28th, '13 Bowling Green-38th, '12 Bowling Green-49th, '11 Bowling Green-74th, '10 Bowling Green-112th, '09 Bowling Green-82nd.
Not terrible numbers by any means (especially at ND and WF) but only 1 top 25 defense in the last 9 years as a defensive coordinator.
Elko isn't anywhere close to being the best DC that Jimbo has had. He managed to run off the 2 best he did have (Pruitt and Stoops) with his Napoleonic micromanagement.
Never understood the circle jerking over Elko either. He's good but he's not an elite coordinator.

I don't know a single Nole that wants the guy back. I'm married into a family full of Nole boosters. Taggart is packing the house on booster tours and people who stopped giving because of Jimbo are giving again.
Her comparison to Spurrier is hilarious. Spurrier brought something the SEC had never seen before. Jimbo is running the same snail paced offense he's used for 25 years.

FSU lost Dante Fowler in a similar fashion to Florida, as I recall. The UF-FSU-Miami recruiting wars were brutally cutthroat in those days. No expenses spared.
FSU lost Fowler because he was scared of competing against Mario Edwards Jr for a starting spot, hence the "Dainty Flowers" nickname.

I've read a few of her comments on Twitter and they're hilarious. She's one of the very rare FSU fans that won't accept that Jimbo overplayed his hand and was sent packing. She truly believes the lies he and his agent leaked to the media. Really sad old crusty lady
