Why did Jimbo lose his quarterback evaluation skills after 2012?

A spin off of my earlier topic, Jimbo's 2012 recruiting class landed him Jameis Winston and Sean Maguire.

Winston was obviously a great talent and Maguire was serviceable.

After that, however, the wheels fell off the proverbial wagon.

2013

John Franklin III


Transferred to East Mississippi Community College, then to Auburn, then to Florida Atlantic where he played receiver. Made the NFL as a defensive back.

Appeared on Last Chance U

2014

JJ Cosentino


Left the team after being the third string quarterback for most of his four years with the program

2015

Deondre Francois


Kicked off team due to a domestic dispute then transferred to Hampton

DeAndre Johnson

Kicked off team after punching a woman at a bar, then transferred to East Mississippi Community College, then to Florida Atlantic, and finally to Texas Southern

Appeared on Last Chance U


2016

Malik Henry

Kicked off team due to rule violations, transferred to Independence Community College but was also kicked off that team. Walked on at Nevada but ultimately left the program.

Appeared on Last Chance U



2017

James Blackman


Transferred to Arkansas State

Bailey Hockman

Transferred to North Carolina State, then to Middle Tennessee State

2018

James Foster


Transferred to Charlotte



This is just absolutely brutal, many of these guys couldn't even earn starting jobs at the lower levels of college football, including JUCO.

A better question is why do you always troll? I mean, like nearly 27,000 posts in 19 months and nearly all are troll posts, mostly about Alabama, but a good lot to A&M fans. I know why A&M. Because Alabama is out of your league and after Fisher won 2 of 3 vs LSU you fear you're about to be 3rd in the division.

But why do you always troll and rarely ever start a thread to actually discuss the game? Is it because you don't know much about the game, or what?

Basically the only viable P5 starter in this group was Deondre Francois in 2016 when he completed 58% of his passes for 3,350 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 7 interceptions.

Shocking Ed didn't try to pick him up after this. Folks who hit women gotta look out for one another.

I’m genuinely curious what your obvious interest is in Jimbo/our QB situation. A brief search yielded many instances of you discussing the topic; but here’s a handful of threads you’ve started. Are you someone who tends to focus on the offense? Because I get that. I just don’t see you inquiring much about other teams/coaches.

Did he really ever have any? He got lucky with Jameis and hasn’t done anything since. A&M still lacks a true winner at QB because of Jimbo

Jimbo was able to turn Mond into a 3rd round pick. That's a Miracle Worker right there.

Jimbo's lack of morals combined with A&M's money will result in a shite show that pales LSU's problems by comparision.

Look at LSU. Talking quarterbacks like they have a history of success. Shouldn't you be discussing DBs or something?

Let's see if we can identify a pattern. Of the 8 listed plus the guy from 2012, you have:

One kicked off team due to a domestic dispute.
One kicked off team after punching a woman at a bar.
One kicked off team due to rule violations.
Two that are on their 3rd (or 4th team) team.
One that was not kicked off the team but really, really likes crab legs.

It appears far more likely that Jimbo doesn't have a QB evaluation problem. He has a character evaluation problem.

Your entire posting history revolves around King not being good

If he does well you will have negative credibility (currently at zero).

Deondre Francois was legit. Once upon a time he was absolutely elite. But the rest of the offense was hot dumpster juice with the exception of Dalvin Cook. After Cook left it was a one man show and he got frustrated. He stayed loyal to FSU and paid dearly for it.

If you want to watch surefire talent get absolutely squandered, he’s a prime example. The eval was fine though.

Since 2013 Jimbo is 64-23 (39-18). That's a 73.6% (68.4%) winning %.

That is pretty on par with what Ed O has done at Lsu. 76.3 & 70.

If you take away some of Jimbo's best seasons, he's what Ed O has done in the best run of his career? Is that the thread you're trying to make?

Translation: Jealous that LSU failed to hire Jimbo.

Francois looked like the next great FSU QB as a freshman. It went completely off the rails for him after he broke his leg in that Alabama game.

I believe Mond was just drafted in the 3rd Round. I mean he didn't win a Heisman or anything but it's not like he sucked. He was just a very solid D1 QB that was MVP of the Senior Bowl as well.

Prior to that of course he had 3 QB's that were 1st Round picks at FSU (Winston, Ponder, Manuel).

The biggest problem he had at FSU was they refused to invest in facilities to keep up with Clemson and the SEC and his recruiting was suffering. That's why he eventually left, he knew he was going to always be at a disadvantage in the new era of football.

I mean I guess you can find some way to look for flaws in Jimbo's QB development but when he can pick up the phone and let a recruit talk to one of several QB's that are now millionaires that played for him I don't think that's a wise bet. Knock yourself out though.
