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
