I think we have to be patient. Building a program just doesn't happen. Doesn't really happen in 4yrs or less. We need to play for the conference before we can worry about an NC. The impatient asshats can talk out their ass, think of themselves as the Patton of football. I think Jimbo can get it done, he needs time. Some of you need to pull that stick out and stop crying.
Nick Saban won a title in year 3 at Bama and year 4 at LSU
Urban Meyer won a title in year 2 Florida and year 3 at Ohio State
Bob Stoops won a title in year 2 at OU
Pete Carrol won a title in year 3 at USC
Jim Tressel won a title in year 2 at Ohio State
Gene Chizik won a title in year 2 at Auburn
Les Miles got his title in year 2 at LSU
Ed Orgeron won a title in his 3rd full season at LSU
and yes Jimbo got his title in his 4th yer at FSU
The only outliers in the last 20 years are Mack Brown getting his title at Texas in year 8 and Dabo Swinney getting his title at Clemson in his 7th full year.
and before some of you get infatuated with the names of those schools, go and look at what they were doing before those coaches got there. Aside from LSU w/MIles and Ohio State w/Urban all of them were roughly at where we were when Sumlin was fired.
