That video is EXACTLY the kind of coach we need! Jimbo is a ball coach. And he is better in the recruits homes than just about anybody.

Again, if you think Jimbo is a bad hire, there is not a good hire out there unless your name is Meyer or Saban.

Jimbo isn't coming here anyway so it doesn't matter...although I personally think it wilould be great if he did

---

And you are okay with him turning a blind eye to rape? If we hire him, we aren't any better than Baylor.

---

You guys are ridiculous, how exactly did he turn a blind eye to rape? He waited for the results of the investigation and the results say that there was not enough evidence and no charges were brought

---

THIS. No one on this board knows any of the details of that whole ordeal. If the Tallahasse police couldn't do anything, probably because they covered it up, what was Jimbo supposed to do?

Yes, we do know many of the details of the whole ordeal. So did Jimbo. They've been published in the New York Times and elsewhere, stop sticking your head in the sand. It wasn't that the police COULDN'T do anything - they intentionally botched the investigation. Jimbo 'was supposed to' / should have kicked him off the team. Jimbo apologists on this board act like 'Jimbo was helpless to do anything.' He wasn't. He (and his apologists here) hide behind the corrupt system's decision to let it go, but even if they were right that it 'couldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt' (they weren't) for purposes of a criminal trial, Jimbo still wasn't incapable of kicking him off the team for 'more likely than not' violating university conduct policy, regardless of what the state, the school, or anyone else did.

The girl did everything you could ask for of a rape victim: she quickly reported it and had a rape kit performed, there was DNA, some bruising and blood, and he wasn't a 'star' player at that point. Also, the other DNA was apparently from her boyfriend who was OUT OF TOWN that night (that some of you are so eager to jump on Winston's attorney's talking points is sad). Winston had another accuser, Winston 'declined to be interviewed,' his friend deleted video evidence (reasonable inference is it was bad for Winston), the first 'statements' from them on the matter appear to be the friends' affidavits (likely drafted by Winston's lawyer who consulted with police, who did everything they could to slow down the investigation - see the links below) and one of the friends made a Facebook post indicating consciousness of guilt shortly after the night in question. That's more than enough to take it to a jury, they just chose not to in that cesspool.

Beyond a reasonable doubt is greater than clear & convincing evidence, which is greater than a preponderance (more likely than not). That's how OJ could be sued (and lose) a wrongful death suit after being 'acquitted' by a jury (by the way, Winston and FSU have both settled civil suits with the victim). Jimbo had far more than enough to kick him off the team. The fact that no one else in that cesspool did the right thing didn't make it ok for him to turn a blind eye to it so he could win a game.

Jimbo's a scumbag, and decent Aggies will raise hell if they try to bring him here. Fire Jimbo, fire the athletic director, fire anyone who helped make it happen. Particularly given recent events in the news, I can't imagine they'd be that stupidly myopic. A&M can never value winning a game above a woman's life. We're not Baylor or Florida State.

And some of you (I'm disgusted to say far more than I thought possible) need to read your own defense of Jimbo and then go read old posts on Baylorfans around the time the rape scandal was coming out. See if you can tell the difference between your posts and theirs ('player X wasn't found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt yet, the coaches were helpless to do anything!'). I can't, and outsiders who aren't deluded won't be able to either. In some ways it's worse here, because their fans were trying to defend their school after the fact and just refused to see the truth. You people are willfully choosing to pursue a scumbag like that to maybe win a game.

If it's a choice between losing every game from here to eternity and condoning rape and rape enablers, it should be an easy decision. I'm not going to ask what you'd choose - I'm afraid to see your answer. In any event, it's not a choice between losing or scumbag Jimbo. It's a choice between losing, scumbag Jimbo, or dozens of other good coaches who can win without enabling rapists. The following links include much of what he chose to ignore - I'm betting it won't matter to a lot of you apologists though.
