Could the fact that Mark Stoops...

[UTvolinBGKY]

took the UK job mean that he knows Jimbo may jump ship? Or am I just grasping at straws?

If Jimbo jumps I hope it isn't to the volunteer state

 

[Elhanan]

My first thought too.

:hi:

 

[FiremedicVol]

He just wants a shot at Gruden.

Straws.

 

[VolunteerHillbilly]

If that was the case, why wouldn't he stay and see if FSU offers?

 

[armchair]

straws, of course--he got offered a head job. But he may not have been wise to take it--kentucky = graveyard of coaches.

I cannot understand the talk around Jimbo Fisher. Why would have leave FSU - what am I missing?

 

[Volwark]

Quite the opposite, IMO. I'm not sure Stoops would take a job when he knows his former boss is going to take the job of a cross-state, conference rival, in the same year. On the other hand, I'm not sure Dumbo would go for a job when he knows his former employee is taking a job with a rival in the same year.

Now, Stoops might know that his boss intends to leave, but doesn't know where yet.

But if Stoops has any clue at all as to what is going down, I can't see him taking the KY job when he thinks Dumbo is going to take the UT job within a week or two.

Or this could be the start of a Dooleyesque position coach bail out for FSU.

Facility upgrades promised that didnt happen. Doesnt like the ACC where you lose 1 game and you have no shot at a NC.

Mark Stoops departure somewhat reduces my interest in Jimbo

I have a bad feeling that we are going to get the shaft again. We are going to get some 2nd tier bullshiv coach, just as we have for the past few hires. They are keeping too quiet and the list of available coaches is quickly shrinking, and it was very small to begin with.

I would be shocked if he left FSU.

He may stay, those were reasons I heard as to why he may leave.

Why are people so opposed to a Jimbo hire? He is a good coach and much better than what we have had the past 4 years with LK & DD.

If we cant get Gruden I would be fine with Fisher.

You know Ann Curry is better than
Savannah Guthrie right?

 

[seerob22]

Most are opposed due to the fact that we beat nc state this year and jimbo lost to them. He loses games about every year to teams he should not lose to. One of the guys on espn u said he thinks fisher is coming here and if we cant get gruden I think he would be a good hire im sure he has good relations with hs coaches in fla and could get some of that talent to come up here.

 

[seaofORANGE22]

I think Jimbo would be an excellent hire.

 

[elmovols]

FSU OC to Kentucky as well. If announcement is Friday, then Gruden. If next week, I believe it will be Fisher.

John Wilkerson said his "guess" would be Jimbo Fisher, he stated he didn't know, but that would be his guess
