Honest question, are FSU fans turning on Jimbo? Obviously they can't be thrilled with this season, but they have 5 straight wins against UF and it's not like they are struggling for recruits (another top 10 class for 2018). Most rational people would agree they would not have been so bad if Francois doesn't get hurt in the opener.
If not the fans, is Jimbo turning on FSU? What type of compensation difference are we talking when his name get brought up for these SEC jobs every year? Just wondering, because if he didn't bite for LSU, beyond REALLY 'UGE $$, why would a guy who knows recruiting & winning in FL go to A&M or elsewhere in SEC?
When one reads espn, blogs and message boards, it seems like many are stuck in BCS-era logic that all teams are competing to be the one non-SEC team in the Final (very low margin for error), and therefore midlevel SEC jobs are given elevated status. SEC teams may still enjoy geographic recruiting advantages and a nice fat TV contract, but the era of SEC-or bust looks to be over. The ACC, B10 & SEC has never had a team miss the CFP and it looks like that streak may continue.
