I'm seeing everywhere people saying Jimbo may leave after the season? Why? FSU is a top 5 coaching job. He's guaranteed top 5 recruiting classes every year. FSU has a much easier route to the college playoffs/national championship game, in the ACC then LSU would in teh SCE. Why would Jimbo want to face Saban every year in the tough SEC?

Plus FSU has deep pockets, they have no problem paying Jimbo a high salary. And why would he want to live in Baton Rouge over Tallahasse?

Isn't he from Louisiana?

Also going to LSU resets his clock. For whatever reason it's a segment of FSU base that's ready to fire him. God knows why.

Some nikka in Tallahassee was fukking his wife. He might just want a change of scenery.
:dead:

But yeah OP that shyt would make NO fukking sense. Especially considering all the talent he has there coming back and how he owns the ACC(and Clemson once Deshawn leaves)

Doesn't seem like anything more then a lateral move. So the only reason I see him doing it is just to take on the challenge of facing Saban and bringing LSU a national title. Winning 2 titles at 2 different schools would put him in some rarefied air.

FSU is not scared to pay the man.
Like hell. They finally got back to operating in the black. Unless the Spanx lady ponies up the dough, his pay bump would be minimal

From W. Va....they don't want him fired but a lot don't care care if he leaves. It's the coordinators/position coaches where they want to see change but he's too damn loyal.
