Why isn't Jimbo Fisher being considered?
The guy has produced 2 straight first round NFL QB's and now has Winston. He would be a more attractive candidate than Golden IMO.
My post is not comparing him to Golden...FYI, just about Fisher.
I can't deny the above (first round QB picks) but one would argue he has underachieved greatly. What has he done with two first round picks at QB? Before this year, he was 31-10. 1 Conference Title and 1 BCS Bowl Win/Appearance. How many other teams have had 2 first round QB picks during that time? How many other teams had a FIRST ROUND QB playing for the last three season?
During those 3 seasons (2011, 2012 and 2013 NFL Drafts), the following QBs were drafted in the first round:
2011: C. Newton (Auburn), J. Locker (Washington), B. Gabbert (Missouri) & C. Ponder (FSU)
2012: A. Luck (Stanford), R. Griffin (Baylor), R. Tannenhill (TAMpon) & B. Weeden (OSU)
2013: EJ. Manuel (2013)*
*EJ Manuel was at FSU in 2012 starting
Not only did he have 2 first round QBs during that time, both we're taken in the first half of the first round.
In fact, his tenure (2010-today) has been first round QBs and now Winston. The only other team that could compare is TAMpon IMO. They had Tannenhill playing WR and QB in 2010, QB in 2011 and Johnny Football in 2012-2013. They fired Mike Sherman because of 2010 and 2011. Stanford had Luck in 2010/2011 but 2012 featured a guy named Nunes who was replaced by Hogan.
Stanford went on to win the Rose Bowl in 2010 (12-1), in 2011 they lost in the Fiesta Bowl (11-2) and in 2012 they won the Rose Bowl and the Conference title (12-2), that is 35-5, 3 BCS Appearances and 2 Wins.
Stanford is a private school with nowhere near the funds that FSU has and spends. Stanford has out done FSU during that time as well.
