Lots of noise in TLH about Texas A&M going hard after Jimbo and giving him a %50 raise. Personally, I think he would be foolish to leave. At A&M he'd be in the SEC West, arguably the toughest conference division in the country, be paid tons of money and have to deliver within 4-5 years. At FSU he is already in a program with a great tradition, strong program support and he usually has 1 team (Clemson) to beat every year to make it to a great bowl game or even better the national championship playoffs. I don't see it happening. To use John's analogy, it's like Will Brown leaving Albany to go to Niagara or St Peters. Slight step up in league but at a secondary job with the new league. Albany/Florida St is a better job. I think Florida made a great hire in Mullen. Can't wait to see Chip Kelley implode (again) at UCLA. Nailed it.  Cannot believe he is leaving Tallahassee to go to College Station. |

I know I’m on record tin wanting a new coach to win more games, but this is unfathomable for me —- $75 million for 10 years with a stated goal of winning a national championship. The school hasn’t won one since 1939 but the out going coach was like 60-20. Wow. Just a whole different level of insanity. To tie it back to Siena I’d like a new coach but not at the detriment to school finances (and I don’t know what they are). Maybe it’s not a big deal to a&m but that sounds like a lot.

At the end of the day, based on what I've heard from some very connected friends he is believed to have left for the following reasons: guaranteed $75 million, the challenge of winning the SEC West and a National Championship, he had a poor relationship with our AD and Booster President (this was even in the local paper) and finally, knowing some of the details of his divorce it is understandable he would want to get away from TLH. I wish him well, unless he plays any team from the state of FL and hope we get the RIGHT guy with our next hire!
