Quote:I don't want Jimbo to leave FSU either as a UF fan. I think he's an idiot and is Gene Chizik 2.0. Deep down I think FSU fans know that, and they're not really afraid of losing him, but more afraid of why he would be in a hurry to leave. I wonder what's going on behind the curtains in clown town.

I disagree.


1. Everything Jimbo has said and done shows he is not in a hurry to leave. He has stated over the last week he loves where he's at and wants to stay. He has recently signed an extension through the year 2022. I can assure you a high majority of FSU fans want one of the winningest head coaches in college football history to stay.


2. There is no real comparison between Jimbo and Chizik. If Chizik is indeed an idiot, I am sure it stems from his graduation from the University of Florida. Gene got himself fired. He resented that Gus got all the credit for the 2010 BCS Championship and put a leash on him and it backfired. Chizik had 1 great year in 2010. The other 3 years, Auburn stayed in the middle to the very back of the West. Chizik was 33-19 at Auburn. Not counting the championship season, he was 19-19, including 7-17 in SEC play. In fact the 2010 championship was the only season, out of both head coaching tenures, he ever had a winning conference record.


Jimbo is on a whole other level. 67-13 as a head coach. 1st place in his division 4 out of 6 years. 3 conference championships, 1 national title, 1 playoff appearance. His 5+ million contract puts him in the top-5 of highest paid college coaches. In October he was the winningest active head coach in the FBS, although the losses have him now at .825 just behind Urban Meyer. Fisher has FSU completely dominating its rivals. 4-1 against UF. A win at UF today would be the most conseutive wins in the Swamp by any college team in history. 6-0 against Miami. 4-2 against Clemson. 4-1 in bowl games. Most NFL draft picks by any coach in a 3-year span. Top-10 recruiting class every year.


There's a reason a school like LSU would be willing to spend over $20 million for him. Everything about that shows Jimbo is brilliant.
