What that tells you if that Moorhead was so bad he couldn’t stay mediocre with a talented MSU team. Mullen was brilliant at finding under the radar and risk guys and developing them. It also tells you that was bad as Moorhead was he couldn’t hold a candle to Willie’s crap.


No, I get a different reading. 1) MSU actually had more talent on its roster than FSU had in Joe and Willie's 2 year tenures at MSU and FSU, respectively. 2) Both coaches got fired after 2 years so that is a wash, 3) Jimbo in his last year went 7-6 at FSU that is the ACC we are talking about. FSU went 10-3 in 2016 which is a solid record. So the slide that FSU had under Willie started with Jimbo in 2017 and the majority of the roster on the 2018 and all of the upperclassmen on both 2018 and 2019 are Jimbo's recruits, which have not produced the amount of NFL draft picks that MSU has, as I already documented.

So Jimbo's resume trajectory has not been on an upward trend looking at his recruiting at FSU (and record their last year) and his first 2 years in the SEC at the Aggies.

Maybe this year he will start an upward trajectory. But what type of record really signifies upward trajectory. Last 3 years 2017-FSU, 7-6, 2018 Aggies 9-4, 2019-Aggies 8-5. So if Texas A&M goes 9-3 this year, is that really enough since he is getting guaranteed $75 million. Even with a bowl win to get to 10-3, that would be a 4-year aggregate record of 34-18. So does 10-3 really do enough to move the trajectory of Jimbo's coaching performance upward. I mean lets look at more, Jimbo can go 9-3 next year and the only difference is the schedule was much easier. If you loose to Bama and Auburn on the road, and loose another game somewhere like LSU, SCAR, one of the MS schools, etc, yes you are 9-3, but does that suggest you are still ready to win the West. To win the West, you (Aggie) have to have a team that can beat Bama, Auburn and LSU in the same season. I still don't think A&M can do that, if you all do it, I will say congrats job well done. Until then, well it is all noise.
