So jimbo won a natty at fsu and this translates to aggy finally being good?

We brought in Danny Ford with a natty and he did get us to the sccg,but the conference wasn't what it is today.

Good luck with that line of thinking,but be prepared for the same old thing that is the history of aggy.

To be clear, in the SEC it's ONE coach light years ahead of the rest, then a log jam for spots 2-6.

Kirby is closer to Orgeron/Fisher/Mullen/Malzahn than he is to Saban. Dawg fans won't like that, but it's true. Until he wins a Natty, he can't and shouldn't be mentioned as being in the same league as Saban. Getting elite talent is one thing, but winning a natty is another.

Have you actually ever examined Jimbo's record at Florida State? He benefited from a very soft ACC schedule (mostly before the rise of Clemson as a powerhouse) and also benefited from Florida being down in the wake of Meyer leaving Gainesville.... and yet his overall resume was not all that impressive.

At FSU, Jimbo was 4-8 against Top 10 teams.... three of his four wins came by 3 points or less, so it could have been way, way worse.

If you look at his overall record against Top 25 teams, he was an even 15-15.... and ten out of those 30 opponents finished ranked #21 or lower, so it wasn't especially top heavy.

Worse yet, Jimbo lost six times to opponents that finished outside the Final Top 25.

So in summary, he was .500 against Top 25 teams and typically lost a game to an unranked opponent. In the SEC, that will get you 8-4.

Pencil me in as unimpressed.


Yup, outside of the Jameis years, he was perfectly pedestrian all while signing top 5 nationally ranked recruiting classes every year but one (which was top 7 nationally).

Add to your list that he had some really inexcusable losses to unranked teams like UVA, BC, NC State, Wake Forest, etc. Again, all with nationally elite talent.

Kirby.... yes. Won the SEC in 2017. Played in the National Title Game in 2017. Won the SEC East in 2018.

Not exactly sure what Jimbo or Mullen have done to even be warranted in the same conversation.



Jimbo has won a national title, which by most accounts would be better than having played in one and lost.

Why don’t you wait until that jerk you paid all that money wins something before you start talking out your a$$?

I’ve been a fan of Jimbo since he coached here, but 100 years of data @ A&M can’t be ignored. Jimbo was a 10-2 coach outside of Winston’s 2 years at FSU, and then he just quit doing the job.


Oh fun. I’ll eliminate two of LSU’s seasons in the past 50 years, and you have to explain how they aren’t purple and gold Ole Miss. I’ll wait.

Or not blow a huge halftime lead, not once but twice to Alabama.

And lose by 20 to that same LSU team

You aggies are going to be very disappointed this year. Reality will set in very soon for you idiots. You will realize you paid way too much for jimbo, and that you cannot buy a national title by doing so. Yall are outclassed as a football program by 3 teams in your own division ffs, (LSU, bama, auburn) much less the entire sec. Yall aren't even in the top half of the conference as a football program. Seriously, when will Yall figure out that you have to WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS in order to gain respect and stop trying to simply buy it? Aggies truly are pathetic. Average program.
