It always cracks me up when a person attributes comments to another that were never made then criticizes said other for the phantom statements and then acts like he's really smart as he goes about disproving the comments that he alone made up. I never said Jimbo was a terrible coach, you made that up. I said he does less with more. If you want to argue that or the fact that FSU is consistently overrated, then you're a fool. Here is their regular season record and # of ACC losses in () since 2010 when Jimbo became HC...9-3 (2), 8-4 (3), 10-2 (1), 14-0 (0), 13-1 (0), 10-2 (2), 9-3 (3). Here are their Rivals recruiting class rankings from 2004 through 2016...3,2,3,22,9,7,10,2,6,10,4,3,2. With all this talent that they pulled in since 2004 (guys that would have been upperclassmen when Jimbo joined the staff) they've been in the NC title hunt, WAIT FOR IT,...TWICE, THAT'S IT!!! Guess what, that proves exactly what I said, that he does less with more. In 4 out of his 7 seasons, he has lost 2 or more conference games which kills any chance of competing for a NC, so don't sit here and act like Jimbo is the 2nd coming of insert name of any all time great coach here. If any guy that was our head coach was losing conference games to mid tier and below SEC teams like Jimbo does in the ACC, while bringing in top level talent like Jimbo, you'd be pissing and moaning so badly, it would be unbearable. Hell, you're doing it with McElwain (and rightfully so) and he's not even working with the same level of Rivals recruiting class talent. You showed that in your post above by bringing up the loss to Arkansas. Bringing up our loss to a 7-5 Arkansas doesn't do anything to disprove that Jimbo does less with more or that the Noles are overrated, all is shows is that we sucked and lost to a 7-5 Arkansas team.
As far as your statement that FSU knew last year was going to be an off year, AGAIN, you just show how little you know about football. They were the PRESEASON #4!!! They brought back almost their entire team, INCLUDING THEIR 5TH YEAR SENIOR QUARTERBACK!!! On paper, they were one of the odds on favorites to go all the way! Were you ASLEEP during this? It just so happens that when their QB Macguire came back to practice from his foot injury before the season even started but Jimbo the QB whisperer decided to start the redshirt Freshman QB.
Your comments about the ACC having much better coaches is equally laughable. 2 of the HCs in their conference are guys that were fired from SEC programs because they weren't cutting it, one is the former OC here who turned our offense into a shyt show relative to the talent he had to work with and then you have quite a few no-names or guys who the jury is still out on to complement the coaches in the ACC that would be considered decent or better (Dabo, Jimbo and Petrino). To say that they have much better coaches is just plain stupid. Equally stupid is your assertion that the ACC has become a better top to bottom conference than the SEC. Did they have a better 2016 than the SEC? Yes. Does one year a conference make? No. Go back and look at the history over the past 10 or so years of head to head SEC/ACC matchups, national titles, etc. and keep a straight face as you try to sling that BS. If they perform for a few more years like they did in 2016, you may start to have a point. Until then, you're just the type of whiny, b*tch Gator fan you reference above, spewing uneducated non-sense.
