Jimbo actually didn't want to ever leave FSU.  He expected FSU to match that contract offer, and when they didn't, he had to make a hard choice.  He saw how the AD had been allowed to deteriorate, and he saw that he'd have more resources and support at A&M.  And, with that 10 year contract, he could go 10-1 and finish #4 one year, then go 5-7 a couple years later, and not have to worry about his seat warming up even a tiny bit.  I've been mostly happy with that deal until this past year, but I still think it will age better than Lincoln Riley's or, especially, Mel Tucker's.

Speaking of MSU's Tucker, he is 23-21 in 4 seasons as a head coach, including a losing record last year, and he's on year 2 of a 10 year, $95m contract.  He did well in his assistant days at plenty of high profile pro and college teams, but, after 4 years, it's clear he's not an Elite head coach.  OU let Riley walk when USC offered him an insane contract that he'd never be able to live up to, MSU should have done the same with Tucker.
