Jimbo is the most overrated HC in the country. Why any school would pay him a guaranteed contract after going .500 in the ACC is beyond me!

He had one of the highest winning percentages in the country before that final season. The last few years have also shown that FSU's issues ran deeper than just Jimbo, and he likely had reasons to leave beyond $75 mil. I think A&M was justified in spending big on a coach with his resume.

That said, I agree with some of the comments about his offense, and think it's fair to question whether he will, or can, adapt at some point.

FSU has admin issues no doubt, but things started getting sour literally when Jimbo found out a bout Candi. He knew that second he would leave FSU with the right offer. After winning in 2013 that 2014 team was absolutely loaded, and despite the undefeated regular season and playoff appearance that team was the worst team I've ever seen with that record. We literally had an NFL team and we had to come from behind to win damn near every game. Then there was the Oregon blowout. Anybody around the program would tell you FSU was fricked that season, despite the record. I feel like people have forgotten The Season with FSU on Showtime in 2016. Jimbo didn't care, players were yelling at coaches, and Jimbo had them sign the infamous promise agreement to make them all double swear to actually try. He literally quit recruiting in September of 2017 after the Bama loss, and also quit on the team. He allowed players to do and say whatever, he quit paying attention to academics. He flirted with a school every single offseason.

The dude said frick Tally when Candi fricked it and he have gave no shits about that program from then on. We hired Steve Urkel to fix that shittstorm, and it was a disaster. Now Norvell basically has to not just coach some guys up but change an entire program in the weirdest season ever. That hire and the money and the contract is one of the damnedest things I've ever seen and I got told to frick off on here when it happened and I said I couldn't believe it actually happened. It'll end in good story I'll say that
