Literally the first thing he did was search out a new OL coach. The dude was hamstrung by a penny pinching AD. Live with what you created and stop projecting your shitty program on the rest of us

Every time Jimbo meets the press he starts off with a lengthy opening statement before he gets around to taking questions. Kind of like a Senator out to filibuster a bill.

He also has a habit of referring to his players by their nicknames. If you really know the A&M roster, you know who "Q", "Aus" and "Buck" are. But if you don't, it's not obvious who the hell he is talking about sometimes.

He is kind of the anti-Sumlin in how he deals with the media. With Sumlin, everything was Top Secret. With Jimbo, there is a stream of consciousness opinion on everything.

Trickett single handedly practically drove that FSU program down

He is one of 3 active NCAA HC's that have a ring. That is elite.

You are what the ring on your hand says you are.

Just watched a replay of his weekly press conference. A 22 minute run-on sentence.



So true. Dude never even slows down.


Not a great interview.

Does his contract have a built in verbiage incentive?


He just takes the NASCAR approach. Talk fast and with a southern accent and everyone will just assume you know what you're talking about.

I didn't say that. Quit making up shite and stay on topic.

I'll take Jimbo's press conferences over Sumlin's mumbling and babbling into a microphone with a snarky retort at the end.

Jimbo has his coach speak, but he is pretty honest with the media. It's refreshing at times.

By the time Sumlin makes his first coherent point, Jimbo has already outlined the entire game plan and scheme.

You mean how they weren’t willing to upgrade Jimbo’s shitty OL coach there?


So you really believe that your multi-million dollar HC was stymied by a position coach to the point that it demolished his program.

I believe you've proven my point.

He talks so fast I am unable to decipher most of what he says. If he does that on purpose, then fine, but if he wants people to understand what he says he ought to slow down and enunciate his words clearly. Right now it is essentially a waste of time to have him on TV.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think he ever appears on TV to speak?
I doubt he cares too much; I assume his priorities don’t involve eloquence and public oration.
