Here is the BIG difference: Fisher and Swinney.

After that game, Jimbo and his agent - Jimmy Sexton - figured out how they could both make a ton of money by leveraging other schools and getting FSU to either give Jimbo a big raise or getting some other school to hire him. LSU was their patsy. It worked. Jimbo got a nice pay raise. Then a year later they tried the same thing. Only this time it was even easier. aTm blew a huge lead in the opening game agianst UCLA. aTm quickly contacted Sexton. Sexton realized that he could get LSU and aTm in a bidding war for Jimbo.

Jimbo lost his opening game to Bama. And, he lost the starting QB. He could see that any chance for a national championship was gone.

So, basically, he quit. He kept coaching and getting his paycheck, but he knew he would be in Baton Rouge or College Station in December. Jimmy Sexton is as good an agent as their is in football when it comes to making money for his clients.

Jimmy spent the season going through the motions, but not really even "half in" much less all in. He knew he was leaving. And, he could not have cared less about what condition he left the FSU situation in.

That is why FSU fell so far so fast. (Jimbo leaving the team in shambles, doing virtually no recruiting, lax discipline. And, then FSU hiring a cheerleader instead of a coach to succeed him.)

Oops. I meant "Jimbo spent the entire season....." I typed "Jimmy" by mistake.

I do think the new Memphis coach will have things turned around. That Memphis team even without him was salty in the Penn State game.

Y'all need to recruit better, no where near what y'all are used to lately.

Agree.

We need to recruit a lot better. One of the resons we are so optimistic about Norvell is he did a better job recruiting in 10 days than Willie Taggart did in two years.

Another reason is he seems to be recruiting a great staff of assistants as well.
