The year after the natty, the decline began.
1st stat is our ppg/2nd stat is ppg allowed.
2013 51.6/12.1 ppg O and D were percolating.
2014 34.4/25.5 ppg JW and the O saved us.
2015 31.7/17.5 ppg Defense rebounded a little.
2016 35/25 ppg Defense on downslide.
2017 27.8/19.5 ppg Are you beginning to see the trend.
This was under St. Jimbo 100% pre WT.
Now stop and consider that FSU was on top of the world, post natty, and
could literally recruit anyone.
Points:
1. Jimbo's offense is so complicated he needs A) great OL (13 OL all went pro) B) Great skill players C) Great QB with high football IQ (JW was this and saved the 14 season from a precipitous fall) Without all the above his O is just pretty good.
2. JImbo did not fire coaches who needed to be fired.
3. He did not retain good coaches. ( Was this due to his Napoleonic complex?)
4. The APR was bottomed out when Jimbo departed keeping WT from house cleaning the disciplinary mess Jimbo left behind.
5. His choice of QBs post JW was not good.
6. His allowing poor recruiting of, and coaching of our OL, is borderline criminal.
Jimbo apologists. How does Jimbo allow that decline when he had his pick of players?
Anyone blaming the current state of our program on WT is horribly uninformed.
That doesn't mean I'm sure WT is the Man! I don't know.
I see hopeful signs, but it'll take at least 3, maybe 4 years to know!
You DO NOT turn around the culture and discipline Jimbo left behind in 1.5 years.
