There's no guarantee he would have won the starting job at FSU either even with Francois gone.
Doesn't FSU have that Blackmon kid from a couple of seasons ago returning? I know Blackmon didn't set the world on fire 2 years ago but until Wimbush can prove he can consistently be accurate on his throwing, he's going to have a difficult time winning the starting job at any school where they aren't running the option which is essentially every school outside the service academies.
