CoffeeTiger 5,929 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Would Jimbo be a slight upgrade to Harsin? Yes, at least Jimbo knows that recruiting is important. Now, would I WANT Jimbo as our coach or think he would be successful long term here? No. With Jimbo you're just hoping he recruits enough elite players that he catches lightning in a bottle that leads him to a lot of wins like Winston did for him at FSU, or Cam did for Chizik here.

ThurstontheWelshCorgi 576 Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Jimbo is an interesting character, on one hand he is very personable, likeable and can draw you in w his slick fast speech but is also very detested by outside fanbases. I still maintain that he is a good playcaller but that his offense is really predicated on having a big time tightend and i havent seen a/m w that since Jalen Wydermyer left for the pros.

I don’t think he’s likable at all personally. Quite the opposite imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that a little surprising but it is all subjective. I watch some of his post game pressers and i get the impression he is very personable and much more so than what i see when i watch nick saban speak but thats just my opinion. On a personal level i dont like him, i think he is a slick talking tongue devil but i can definitely see him winning people over in their living rooms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said Jimbo has got to give up play calling duties to a competent OC because Jimbo isn't adjusting his offense to his personnel. He is trying to force a square peg into a round hole and it won't work. Jordan said that everyone seems to understand this except Jimbo. After last weeks loss, Jimbo was asked if he would consider giving up play calling duties and he gave a long winded answer but said yes. Personally, I don't think Jimbo's ego will allow him to give up play calling. The years of Jimbo being a "quarterback whisperer" are long gone. Offensive HCs have a hard time giving the reins to someone else, and they are slower to evolve. Fisher ain’t giving up his offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes across as uptight, borderline nervous wreck to me. I guess it losing too much while you’re pulling $9mill a year from your employer makes you that way.

He looks and acts like he is a nervous wreck on the sidelines. Add Kirby Smart and Gary Patterson to that list as well. It wears me out watching them on the sidelines. They live and die with every play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aucat 72 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Jimbo can get a #1 recruiting class and he will finally get ATM back to the elite late.... like UGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ran through a weak ACC, and eventually that even ran out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course my answer would be yes because Jimbo can recruit, which is better than Harsin, but he sure is past his prime as a play caller.

I had an opportunity to go see this game in person as a student, but instead I turned it down and thought it would be a good idea to study for 72 hours for my deterministic operations research course. It was one of the only midterms I ever failed, the only class I got a D in, and one of the best games during my time at AU as a student. At least we won! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A&M is suspending multiple players indefinitely for allegedly smoking pot in the USCe locker room. Players are thinking about leaving. I watched a few videos about it last night in YouTube. Seems like Fisher is losing/has lost total control of that program just like at FSU. Edited October 26, 2022 by AUINSY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUinMS9528 1,086 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Jimbo is overrated and he underachieves. But he does recruit well. He is the best at doing less with more. Harsin, on the other hand, is historically bad! He is worse than I ever imagined an AU HC would be. Harsin’s buyout is MUCH cheaper, but he is also leaving the cupboard bare!!! You’d have to cough up stupid amounts of money on top of piles of ridiculous amounts of money to fire Jimbo. But the positive is, there would be more to work with for the new coach. Hopefully allowing for a quicker turnaround. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
