Why does Jimbo get such a pass for 2017?

Yes, MONEY!!!!

5-6, he didn’t stay for the last game.

I think the better question is what would've happened had Francois not gotten hurt.

When we played them, they were a formidable opponent - certainly better than Clemson. I think they were a playoff team before they unraveled

3-5 in conf. 6-6 going into the bowl game. I understand losing your starting QB game 1 but does that excuse the meltdown of the team as the whole?

Taylor Jacobs does not live in College Station

First of all, he hasn't really gotten a pass. It gets mentioned every time someone talks about him on here.

But yes the Francois injury was a huge deal, not only because he's a good player, but also because it forced them to go with a true freshman who clearly wasn't ready. Add in the fact that the entire offense was young and they also had some OL injury issues and you get the terrible offense. The defense was above average, but not good enough to make up for the offensive deficiencies.

The only real terrible game was the BC game, not sure what happened there. But losses to Clemson and Alabama were expected, and the other 3 losses were all one score games.

Will this anomaly cause LSU fans to feel better or worse about Jimbo’s dominance over the swamp kittens over the next ten years?

We'll all hear "wait until next year" for a few years until they throw their money at the next coach.

Then repeat.

Was talking heavily to A&M in September.

Probably an 8 or 9 win team

How is he getting a pass? LSU fans bring it up on this board literally every single day.
