Trying to transition to a pro style offense with spread players... O-line looks suspect and they don't have the talent at RB or WR they need.

I sure as hell wouldn’t let that 17’ing cancer Johnny Football on my sidelines during this spring game. They have focused way more on him than Jimbo’s game.

I think Jimbo is going to be be a bust out there unless he decides to change his QB style. He refuses to use a running QB is his offense and is going to stick to his pro style offense. that won’t work in the SEC West. You can’t out power Alabama and that’s what he wants to do. Hell, even Saban has changed his style at QB

Playing devil’s advocate, he should be able to find QB’s in the state of Texas.

He literally doesn’t have to win ONE game in College Station during his entire contract and he is guaranteed $10 million. I would pace myself till year 9 if I was Jimbo.

It's amazing to me how people judge a team by their spring game. Totally and utterly ridiculous. If it's high scoring, the defense sucks, if it's low scoring the offense sucks...is that pretty much how it is?

I'm undecided on aTm this year. I am very glad we have them at home though.

The outcome means very little, yes, but you can still get a decent idea of a team's talent and personnel situation.

It might take him a year or two, but he’ll win at A&M. You don’t back your way into a national title. Some of Jimbo’s offenses at FSU put up great numbers, and the NFL is full of his defensive guys.

I think the question with Jimbo is motivation. Maybe a fresh start will help, but he’s been through a lot in his personal life. He had some coaches at FSU that fans were ready to see leave too. He has a little bit of Mullen in him in that regards.

FSU is what you get when you combine SEC-level recruiting and an ACC schedule with decent coaching. ACC typically has 2-3 teams in the T25 of recruiting rankings. SEC has 9 or 10.

ACC may have 2 of top 10 recruiting classes, while SEC has 5. It is a lot easier to get a shot at the playoffs in the ACC than it is the SEC. It's a lot easier to get a fat record in the ACC than the SEC.

Don't look now, but the ACC is probably right up there pretty close to the SEC these days. SEC went 7-5 vs ACC last year, and 4-10 in 2016.

Of the 5 wins last year, 3 were by the two ACC teams that have recruited on a par with our best (Clemson & FSU), and one was Louisville vs an over-matched UK team we beat 45-7.

The 5th was a narrow nail-biter win by WF over a aTm team being coached in the Belk Bowl by an interim coach.

Of the 10 wins in 2016, 5 were Clemson or FSU, 2 more were over Vandy, 1 was over a bad UPig, and 1 a very good GT vs a very mediocre UK.
