Why did Jimbo choose A&M?
Duh!
Without question, it was for the plethora of Mexican food!
Let's go Brandon!

absolutely.SidetrackAg said:I think for elite coaches, guaranteed will now be the norm. You think Saban or Dabo will go anywhere for anything less than guaranteed? Giving a large, guaranteed contract to an unproven coach is ridiculous, but you have to pay for elite coaching.Gidnik said:
probably has something to do with 100% guarantee of 75 million dollars.

Jimbo left FSU for these reasons generally:
- FSU Admin is not All In. They don't understand or appreciate the need to keep up in the facilities race. They have had such success through the years the Admin asks 'Why do we need that?' Bowden won and he didnt have anything like what you want.
- Jimbo often talked about Clemson and how our entire university Prez, AD, Dabo are committed to winning and building the best football facilities in the country. FSU doesn't have that same commitment right now. Neither does Florida. They have never had to go All In to win so they aren't used to doing it.
- FSU Admin would pay Jimbo but didnt want to fork over $$$$ for top-notch assistants. They limited who he could hire to help.
- Jimbo had checked out mid season and the players had too. FSU played like a shell of themselves most of the year. They had like 6 early NFL departures this year and only won 6 games. Players had started to protect themselves and their future.
- Change of scenery is good for him and probably FSU. Lots of baggage on the personal side from his time in Florida.

We have the best chicken wraps $24 can buy. A clause in his contract allows him to have one whenever he wants, for free.
That's good, because if I was coach, I would buy 3,125,000 chicken wraps and dominate the market, then sell them for 25 dollars when people got hungry. Quick way to make 3 mill.

Let's just say it moved him.....TO A BIGGER HOUSE!!!!
It seems like our boosters have learned that their role is to sign checks and nothing more. It makes it easier to settle into that role when you have a coach with Jimbo's record prior to coming here. I don't think that's the case for the school in Austin.sleepybeagle said:
