He's not terrible at all. I never did want him going back to late 2015. I think he's dirty. Very happy things didn't work out well with him and LSU.

It’s been well-established that Jimbo was a smoke screen in the search process. Woody had his man all along in Kelly, but had to wait for the playoff scenarios to unfold.

Seems like Woody had no difficulty in leaving College Station Jimbo behind for Baton Rouge. And now he’s found his true program builder at LSU.

You're in denial. No, your program isn't on the same level as LSU or even Texas. It is a middling, average program. Expectations are, in fact, much lower there. Accept the truth. It will set you free.

It's hilarious that the singular source of the supposed contract offered to Jimbo is Billy Liucci. You fruitcakes are so fricking gullible.

Is that true?

If so, that's a guarantee that Jimbo wasn't offered the job.

Except LSU and Woodward said a few time Jimbo was never offered or even marginally considered for the job?

I mean I know this helps in your insecurities that "Jimbo turned down LSU during the last search" but fact is he never was offered anything to turn down..

Did Woodward maybe ping him for any interest possibly. But that is at best the extent of it.

But hey if it makes you feel better roll with it. Kind of not telling a kid there is no Santa Clause.

Why would LSU hire a coach who just got beat by one of the most depleted and worst teams LSU has had in 20 years.

That's simply verifiably false.

Take this report:

Brett McMurphy

In the tweet, he verifies that the numbers report by Liucci were confirmed by his own sources.

He is terrible. He proves it every year and this year SPECTACULARLY in the offseason when Boss Man Saban turned him into a gay porn on-set fluffer in front of the entire planet. We are glad he "said no" because he's a babbling half-cocked redneck grifter with marbles in his mouth and we have hired a far better coach and he actually has done very little outside one dream season at another school. He is the living embodiment of Failing Up.

"Deep down", I know 2-9 against Daddy LSU without those national championships has made you very jealous of new Big Brother.

Everybody knows this is a lie.

LSU doesn't have that kind of money.

Well if the boosters would stop stealing from the one in Baton Rouge, they could have probably gave Jimbo Jr. some decent health care.

Technically, his "source" could be Billy Liucci.

His own sources, AKA Jimbo's agent.

Jimbo was never offered the LSU job.

Correct. LSU doesn't have the money for that.

Because he knows that the males at aggy will not have interest in mating with his wife like they would at LSU and did at FSU.

So we can't afford to spend $125 million?

That's interesting, seeing as we just spent $140 million.

I believe NIL may have played a role in Jimbo's decision to stay with A&M over LSU. A&M is rich and LSU is poor. Plus LSU fans are unrealistic with their torch and pitchfork mentality. Look how they treated Saban.

Jimbo wasn't leaving A&M even with his buddy running the AD in BR. He just spent four years rebuilding A&M's program which culminated with a top 4 finish and #1 recruiting class so far, and he knows those are positive, meaningful steps towards the goal of winning an SEC title. Not to mention having a top QB recruit in Weigman running his offense soon.
