Gene Chizik and Jimbo both have similar accomplishments as coordinators and Chizik has a NC as a head coach. Jimbo won't win a NC in his third year especially dropping games to teams like NC State. Will he win it his fourth year when his conference expands to 14 teams, probably not. The last time Florida State was in the ACC Championship was 2005

If you guys won't to win the press conference and get a flash hire just know that we'll be having this same discussion four years from now when that coach also fails to meet expectations. I would prefer either a coach like Patterson with a proven record of success or someone like Franklin/Gundy with a don't give a frick attitude that will fight for the school and back down to no one. A Saban clone is not the answer, ask Tennessee how it's working out for them with Dooley & Sunseri

Most of your big points, so to speak, are speculative at best. Jimbo is no more of a "Flash hire" than Mike Gundy or Patterson as you mentioned below so you can go ahead and throw out your line about winning the "press conference".

On top of all of it, you're trying to equate fricking Derek Dooley, one of the most underwhelming hires in football history, as a "Saban clone" in the same paragraph that you're talking about "flash hires".

You're just chasing your own tail at this point. Just fricking stop I am embarrassed for you.

Stop ruining Jimbo. And if you are going to do it, do a better job

Not true undecided. FSU played VA Tech in the ACC Championship in 2010. Fail.

It was also the first year Jimbo took over as HC.
