FSU Jimbo Gone

[Payton]

It would sure make for great theater though. A&M and FSU seasons would suddenly be compared down to the last detail over the next 4 years.

True... That might be worth the price of admission. Good point.

Taggert is intriguing... Though I have to say, I was a bit taken aback by a report I heard that our AD would, "Like to hire a black head coach". Not at all because I have any issue with having a black head coach, mind you. But the fact that right out of the gate in our search we are going to limit ourselves and the potential pool of coaches based on race?

Taggert can recruit, he's 41, he's from Florida. Game over. Word is Taggert has his best recruiting class ever and it's the best in the history of Oregon (not sure what that means).

The pipeline at FSU was built long before Jimbo. Sumlin ain't going to FSU.

He was the South Florida Coach, right?

If Jimbo Fisher leaves, who would FSU target as replacement?

 

[Wild Turkey]

So is he on a plane or not?

This shit is getting old.

Frost is in a great position, he's doing fine at UCF and has a chance to name his salary - at any university - in a couple more seasons. He shouldn't bolt too early; don't look like you're the guy who will just up and leave for the next big thing.

LOL

I heard there's a press conference at 4. My guess Jimbo not coaching ULM game

 

[BTHOtu]

So we have a shit load of money and have invested it into the football program, now investing a shit load more into hiring a proven big name coach that already has a natty under his belt.

We are basically following the Bama road to success.

Of the names on that list I would NOT like to play FSU if they had Babers as a HC. Imagine the offense if he had 4-5 star players at the helm. I personally think Babers is a heck of a coach in terms of doing ANYTHING with the crap talent that he has access to...

waiting on malzahn to finish saturday before they make new hire....

It's official, he's gone


Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher has agreed to become the new head coach at Texas A&M sources have told the Tallahassee Democrat.

He will not coach the Seminoles against Louisiana-Monroe at noon on Saturday. Odell Haggins will be the interim head coach

10 minutes later hire Sumlin or Steele and away we go. This shit ain’t supposed to be hard.

This means the FSU bowl streak of 30+ years is in dire jeopardy!

 

[Deep Creek]

Heard yesterday Jimbo will be the first coach since Johnny Majors in 1976 to leave the school where he won a natty to go to another school directly. But Majors left immediately after winning the natty at Pitt to go to Tennessee. Been 4 years since Jimbo won it.

This is still a very strange occurrence.

I think this is the end of Jimbo as a top end coach. He really just committed career suicide. If he doesn't win and win BIG at A&M, I don't see any major programs taking a risk with him. And he's choosing to do it against Saban.......

Something else had to be going on behind the scenes at FSU that we don't know about yet.

 

[Yo Tee]

So does Tennessee try and go after Sumlin now? I really think of any coach right now that's a good fit for Tennessee and that's not saying Tennessee is this special school where it needs a special coach. That's saying that Tennessee right now should be in rebuild mode and might want to hire a non-big name coach maybe? IDK. Just a thought.

He's already making 10 million not to coach right now. And I believe Tennessee did ask him and he turned it down.

Some people like a challenge. Some people are pussies.

South FL is the best area to recruit in the country. Don't get all upset over it.


LOL @ the Texas schools right now. LMAO @ you thinking Texas can hold a candle to South FL.

You just lost your coach to one of those Texas schools, today isn't the day for you to make this comment.
