LSU is obviously one of the schools where it is possible to build a program that contends for national titles year in and year out. They have done it. A&M has not. And yet Jimbo obviously thinks it is happening at A&M, or he never would have refused a raise from LSU to stay at A&M.
I know most of this board prays to baby Jesus that he fails, all the more because he scorned your school twice, once to stay at FSU and once to stay at A&M. Others of you (non LSU fans) want him to fail because you hate to think that A&M might take a spot in the elite that you want your school to take. I get it.
You'll pretend. "He's terrible! So glad he said no! He's done nothing!" Some of you might even manage to convince yourselves of what you desperately want to believe. But deep down, you know better.
My hunch is that Jimbo wants A&M to be his last stop. He's 56 and his contract guarantees he'll be rich enough to burn at wet mule walking at the end, whatever that end might be. No reason to jump around when you're going to make an insane amount of money no matter what, especially when you're older.

Because a perennial 8-4 coach isn’t acceptable at Lsu. He is safe in Cancellation Station

During the Chad Morris era, Jimbo never beat the Hogs by more than 7. Both years, Arkansas had the ball with a chance to tie/win the game with the last possession.
Jimbo is overrated.

LSU was waiting to hire a vaunted, tested and trialed coach like Brian Kelly.

Why do you think LSU made an offer to Jimbo?

He's actually expected to win Natty's at LSU. At aTm he just needs to pretend that can happen like everyone else does.

I like how this wishful speculation has turned into fact. It's like listening to my grandparents glued to CNN tell me, to this day, how President Trump is a Russian stooge/asset.
