Jimbo fisher - won with Jameis Winston and parlayed that into a huge contract with A&M, contract extension, and eventually a 77Million dollar buyout, without winning anything else of importance.

Matt McMahon doesn't even get the LSU job without Ja Morant.


His best season was after Ja Morant left the program.

If you were arguing Curley Hellman- Brett Favre, you’d be spot on.

Fisher became HC at FSU in 2010 and left after 2017, and his defenses were Nationally Ranked:

2010 - 20th
2011 - 4th
2012 - 6th
2013 - 1st
2014 - 50th
2015 - 9th
2016 - 45th
2017 - 29th

What happened between 2013 and 2014? Mark Stoops left as Defensive Coordinator and was replaced by Jeremy Pruitt. Fisher didn't last because of 1 player...he lasted because of coordinator.

No national title, no conference title, no division title...what did Johnny do for Sumlin? Barely beat Duke in the chicken bowl?

No Mike Evans
