'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

[Mr French]

Again you're overthinking this. 2nd best in the SEC. What other coach has a NC? Who's better? Maybe Lane definitely not Kirby. I'll wait.

Like I said. Keeping it that simple Ed O was a top 3 coach. He checks every box Jimbo does

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

LOL 3rd best in his division stop it. There's not 2 or 3 better in the West. Only one even close is Kiffin.

Could easily argue that Kiffin did more with less. Jimbo’s roster is loaded… They significantly under achieved this year. Heupel was a better coach than Jimbo was this year if you compare rosters and all other factors.

 

[Weezer]

Over selling lmao

What about my post wasn't factual? Sure, he won a NC several years ago. What has he done since? Are you suggesting his team didn't underachieve this year? Beating Bama does not negate the rest of the season.

BTW, I'm attempting honest conversation. I'm not one of the posters that continuously attacks you. Why do you seem to think Jimbo is so special? Because he has a NC from his days at FSU? It seems like you're ignoring his stats at TAMU.

Lol. Lane??? Kirby has done WAY more than Lane. And I hate Kirby.

Absolutely.
We both could have coached that FSU team to a NC!

Jimbo aided in burning FSU down.......

He played all season with a backup QB. I’m not convinced their season would’ve gone any different but still

Saban is better, Kiffin got a 10 win season in the west faster with less talent, and Pittman matched his record this year with a tougher schedule and way less talent. He is at least 3rd in the West behind Saban and Kiffin, for sure.

It doesn’t matter what someone did 10 years ago, he is 3rd best coach in the West at best right now. Heck, even Leach matched his record with wayyyy less talent. Now, I’m not ready to say Leach is better, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him match records with Fisher going forward.

The backup QB came in and played better than the starter.

 

[zooguy]

QB and offense are what matters the most in winning right now in college football.

Lane had a great QB. Jimbo did not. Heupel had a good QB. Dabo did not.

Yes, other talent matters. But, talent at QB matters the most.

You think Dabo forgot how to coach? No, he had a bad QB this year.

 

[zooguy]

The backup QB came in and played better than the starter.

No, he didn’t. He played well in 1 game.

King had 294 yards in his only full game. 2 of his int’s were not on him - hit the receiver in the hands and they didn’t catch it.

It is not just stats - it is also how you play. You obviously didn’t watch King’s game against Kent State OR the rest of Calzada’s games. King was pretty good for his first college start. Calzada was only good in the ‘Bama win. He was worse in every other game he played then how King played against Kent State.

So Jimbo and Dabo missed on the evaluations of their respective QBs? Isn't that a part of being a good coach?

Dabo has never been a great coach. He’s been a great HC - hired very good assistants and let them do the coaching. He’s a great cheerleader, recruiter and culture builder. He’s not an X’s and O’s Coach. He’s lost a few of those assistants over the last few years and it’s showing. Now with BV gone he better make some great off-season hires or he’s in trouble. JMO.

It was Kent State.

It was Kent State.

And it was his first game.

So you believe, talent-wise, that Hooker is better than DJ at Clemson?

Nah, that’s coaching.

Dabo is a CEO type coach anyway. Not a QB guru or offensive savant.

 

[VolFreakJosh]

What do you expect they have Jimbo and NC coach who's proven he can win. Also the 1st son of Saban to be Papa Saban. He's probably the 2nd best coach in the SEC.

Lmao, you’re so naive to the world.

He rode Winston’s jock strap to get to that National Championship.

You probably think Gene Chizik is a good coach.

 

[Weezer]

And it was his first game.

You're obviously a TAMU fan grasping for excuses. Jimbo underachieved this year and a win against Bama does not negate that fact. A NC from 8 years ago doesn't make him a great coach today.

Honestly, what does it matter. He has National Championship on his resume. Only thing that really matters is how recruits see him. They obviously don't look at Jimbo the way some Vol fans do because at present, he's kicking our ass on the recruiting trail...

 

[BowlBrother85]

Maybe Lane? Wtf? Jimbo's results on the field are not much better than where Kevin Sumlin was, at the same point in his tenure.

I used to like your posts. You bring good info. You've been way out there lately, though.

He’s overpaid with the results he’s making.

I don’t give a damn if they did beat Bama.

You don’t lose to LSU & Mississippi St with that amount of talent on the roster.

Not to mention putting up 10 points against a bad Colorado team.

Texas A&M should feel stupid wasting that amount of money on an average coach.

You should see the Vol fans defending that clown in this thread right now.

A lot of closet A&M fans that feel the need to tell us how great of a coach he is.

And as a Tennessee fan, WGAF? Why do you care whether A&M should feel stupid? If TAMU wants to "overpay" him, that's their problem, right?

Other than the fact he's kicking our ass in recruiting, why does Jimbo's existence bother you so much?

 

[bigl3327]

If ,if, if just stop downplaying what another team/coach did. Nobody said he's gonna own anything. He won and nobody else has done that. He has big bags and is loading up like he did at FSU. Only blemish on the potential NC team's resume gv him his credit.

I'm not downplaying anything. One of my best friends graduated from TAMU. The expectation there was to win the west this year if they could get over the Bama hurdle. Jimbo beat Bama, and where are they? If I'm not mistaken, they only finished one game better than us. You want me to give the man his credit? To me, that's like being asked to give Butch Jones his credit for beating UF and UGA, but not winning the east. They threw all that money at Jimbo because winning championships was the expectation. Now they're throwing all that money at recruits because he's not getting it done. We'll see how that works out.

“Kicking our ass in recruiting”

Well I got news for you, Jimbo also isn’t dealing with NCAA sanctions and a team coming off 3 wins last year. Not to mention Heupel and his staff barely had any time to build relationships with these kids.

You’re making it sound as if it’s impressive when really it’s not.

Hooker wasn't a great QB until he got under CJH. That's a big difference that you are missing here.
