Except that Cook wasn't a Gator lock and he committed three times before signing with FSU. MeeMaw talking out her ass again but Aggy is none the wiser.
Recruiting landscape was also much different.
Hilarious. What Aggy doesn't know is that his wife's "alleged" cheating was basically in response to Jimbo's behavior, both to her and "other" women.
Whitewashing the fact Jimbo was 5-6 is pure Aggy. Odell Haggins coached those last 2 games and the team actually played better when he coached and Randy Sanders (the OC) was actually allowed to game plan. Revisionist history is an Aggy specialty.
Herman handed Jimbo his ass in that Peach Bowl. No getting around that fact.
Towards the end of his tenure at FSU, Jimbo had pretty much conceded certain position groups and areas of Florida to Clemson, Georgia and Bama. Hell, even Mark Richt was making life hard on Jimbo. Dabo was knocking his dick in the dirt in the Tampa Bay area.
I'm kind of surprised UGA got him but UF's system doesn't really fit that kid. Living in the Southeast myself, it's no secret the Dawgs are dropping bags.
Comment from that post:
"Jimbo was traditionally more of a late closer at FSU than he did classes like ours in 2019."
This is not true in the slightest. Then again, Aggy makes up any and all kinds of shit to fit their narrative so...par for the course. Bowden was the late closer at FSU. Jimbo typically took the approach of stockpiling early and then working to keep recruits.
That generally worked for him at FSU because he was recruiting to a more recognizable, higher-tier brand. He doesn't have that luxury at Aggy. He also didn't have a lot of competition in-state early on at FSU. Da U and the Gators both sucked and Clemson wasn't even a blip on the radar.
Ah yes, the vaunted SEC schedule that includes 3-4 built-in wins over cream puffs every year. It's their league recipe to maintain the myth of how "tough" a conference they are.
Derrick Hunter is a drama queen who, if memory serves, committed to all 3 Florida schools at one point. He was considered the 5th best SDE in the state of Florida this year. FSU still landed Quashon Fuller who is rated much higher at SDE. Shit, FAU landed a higher SDE Florida prospect than Hunter.
He's playing up to his audience. In coaching circles, Jimbo has the reputation of being an asshole so not quite sure who Looch thinks would be beating down his door.
