I'm honestly not sure what this post means. It was obvious to anybody that watches college football that Jimbo quit on FSU. There is no attempt to rewrite Jimbo's record, he built FSU back up from 7-6 in 2009 to a team in 2012 that lost 2 games and shouldn't have. He recruited like an SOB and in 2013 it all came together with immense talent, a young Jameis that hadn't lost his mind yet, and Jeremy Pruitt taking a top 5 defense to another level. Candi happened and Jameis lost his mind so instead of being a wire to wire #1 in 2014 like many thought, FSU squeaked out game after game as an ill prepared football team stocked full of NFL players because Jimbo's head was already out of FSU and Tally after Candi fricked the whole town. That season culminated in a blowout to Oregon in the inaugural CFB playoff and it was downhill from there. He left the program in shambles because he couldn't recruit positions of need and the players that he had held no respect for him or the program, and he didn't care. He fled from one of the preeminent programs in the country to go to TAMU for a bunch of money. Taggart is an awful coach but Jimbo basically handed him a sack of dogshitt on his way out of the office

I couldn’t have typed anything with more truth in it. He’s a great QB coach and I’d take him in a heartbeat over Gus but he isn’t worth $75 million.
