So what the hell happenned between him and FSU anyway?

(Besides all the obvious Candi's holes being plowed jokes)

I posted something either last X-mas or the prior X-mas (can’t remember which year but I remember I was driving to Florida for the holidays). Radio station in S. Georgia was talking about Jimbo and they thought he was going to leave FSU at the end of that season either for another college gig or the NFL. They said he had lost the locker room, his message had gotten stale and he wasn’t able to motivate his players anymore. They felt a change of scenery was in order. More recently, the past few weeks, I’ve heard that his routine of going back to the AD after almost every season to hold them up for more money, more facilities upgrades, etc. had worn thin on the administration.

I was asking the same thing with Sas earlier tonight, for me this just feels very sudden but I admit I read nothing about FSU. I get the guy is an a$$hole and they lost a bunch this year but I didn't think it was this bad :lol:

He has like 80 bluechippers on his roster. There is zero excuse for being 5-6.

I get that, I guess I'm just caught off guard by the apparent hate that's coming out the last week or two. I don't know...like I said, I pay zero attention to the clowns bc I loathe everything about that school and town.

Texas A&M is going to seriously regret that hire. Jimbo is one major ass.

My guess is that if there is one coach that Saban really doesn't want to face every year, it's Jimbo.Sadly, we all know that he has no fear of Dan.
And yet, back in the real world, Jimbob Bowdenbastard is a 4 loss coach IN THE ACC without Jameis.

So here's the low down on the Jimbo situation. He's been pulling the same routine where he flirts with leaving so FSU will cave on facilities. It works when you win a National Title but not this year. He also does not get along with their AD or major Booster. So they finally called his bluff. Apparently they've spent over $100MM on football facilities since he's been the coach.
