    Texas still in talkings with nick/Jimmy........
    other names Jimbo, Art Briles, James Franklin, Charlie Strong, of those, I might be wrong, but I don't see Jimbo leaving.

    Guess it depends on who you ask.

    For the right guy, that could be THE job. Personally I dont think Jimbo sees it as that. I think jbf stays at fsu.

    For some, its a move up. But Jimbo is like some of the coaches I know, the more family guy. He sees things beyond football. He has Fla St right where he wants them. Whos a bigger team in Fla right now? Who has a great staff, making good money, after the NCG gonna get a bump in pay. Jimbo's a different kind of coach, in a good way. Remember, most of his life in football has been with the Bowdens, follow what hes done. He sees himself doing what Bobby has done there at Fla St. Like I said, Jimbo has spent most of his time with the Bowden family...

    Jimbo can fit in anywhere, Ut wouldn't be a problem. Many know about his offer from UAB as the HC, he had an offer in the Pro's with nick. He stayed with Les at LSU, helped with the transition. But like I said, some see this as a move up for him, I see it as problems, something that Jimbo could handle, but remember where he's from, where he's been. I see him staying, most of the ut problems are off the field. Jimbo doesn't need them.

    For me, I'd stay right in Fla. But thats me. For many it's a move up. Jimbo is one of those guys where money isn't everything. He thinks outside football, great guy and coach.
