When first took over from Bobby Bowden. However he left FSU in shambles and Mike Norvell just now turning it back around.

I'm not real high on jimbo. I think we can do better.
He’ll be coming to a tv studio soon enough.
Those that can coach, do. Those that can't, end up "expert" tv analysts.
Always liked Patterson as a coach. He basically built that program from the ground up.
A record of 181-79 in 21 seasons is incredible and 17 bowl games is phenomenal.
If we have an opening, the odds of us pursuing Jimbo, let alone him being interested, are minute.
Dolson has done a pretty good job of cleaning up most of the mess he inherited, though he didn’t help himself with the Allen extension, which now has him handcuffed to someone who can’t build the program. Unfortunately, he’s also the guy who would run point on a replacement, which doesn’t inspire confidence that we’ll magically hire our way to prosperity.
As I’ve said previously, we have the program we’ve demanded and that we deserve. No other part of the University with such a dismal track record would be tolerated in the manner we tolerate the football program.
perhaps i should say we could if we really wanted to. where there's a will there's a way.
Gary Patterson isn’t at TCU. He resigned two years ago. Sonny Dykes is the HC. GP is at UT as an assistant head coach. Jeff Traylor HC at UTSA is a name to keep an eye out for.
i like patterson a lot but i'm not sure we could get him. if the situation arises, it would certainly be worth a try.
Patterson is a great coach! But no way would he ever consider coming to IU.
That's the problem - who would take the job at IU? No NIL money, poor facilities, no recruiting base, no institutional support
When he got to TCU they were not very high on the must see list. He built the prowess they attained. His abundant recruiting relationships and ability to evaluate assistants is strong.
If IUFB opens the purse and collects outside funds to sack up Allen's dust(that's the 1st hurdle which will turn heads) they'll also have the major investment set for an experienced, successful HC and staff. I think past lessons have been learned.

There probably aren’t too many areas of the university that have been as poorly supported by alumni as the football program. How can you expect a highly-regarded coach to come here when half the people in the stands leave at halftime no matter the score? We do, indeed, have the program we deserve
here's another for you guys to discuss, Chip Kelley will most likely out maybe next week. If he loses to SC , most likely after the game
It isn’t the Administration doing it, it’s the oil-money Boosters. Those deep pocket dudes want a fb team like UT has, and they think their money can buy it for them. THEY make the FB decisions, not the Administration.
I think most SEC schools are like that. They take their football very seriously down there.
Kelly might make more sense, at least in theory, than Patterson, who will be 64 yrs old in about 3 months. If anything I’d think GP would be more interested in a situation he feels he can turn around quickly, like maybe an Arkansas.
Kelly’s personality might be an odd fit in Bloomington, kind of a much more competent and accomplished version of Archie Miller, but he wouldn’t be any odder than, say, Crean was. He would certainly need 1 or 2 really good recruiters on his staff.
