So I'm working from home today... I'm an FSU booster (GC) and thought I leave a post here
So I went turkey hunting with Coach Fisher last year. He's a great father... Ill end it there. He's pretty self absorbed, and I believe burnt out. I was asked about all sorts of nuggets when I got back from my trip with Coach Fisher. My synopsis was, "I could tell you 3 things. 1) He loves his kids 2) He hates Hugh Freeze 3) I think he has 4-5 years left max coaching. If it weren't for the divorce and the need to raise $$ for his kids treatments, he would be retired to a cabin to hunt and fish all day...."
FSU has finished with top 5 classes every year... but since 2015, aside from a flukish Orange Bowl, that FSU backed into, we don't have really a single quality win in the last 3 years. (talk all you want of the record over UM and UF, but both have been crap most of the time) -and this is with a roster full of a who's who of 4 and 5 star talent. We lost 35-3 to BC this year... BC!!! FSU has 4 guys on defense that are still projected to be 1st round picks. We gave up 18... 18!! tackles for loss vs WF. We didn't have a two score lead against a single team until we played Syracuse. We were crap last year too... were it not for Dalvin Cook we'd probably have been 6-6 too. Go back and watch games like the FSU-GT game in 2015, the FSU-Houston Peach Bowl, The 2011 FSU-UVA or WF games, the 2016 FSU vs Louisville or UNC games. Your eyes will roll back in your head. Really you canned a coach that went 7-5 this year for one that went 5-6 (3 and 5 in the ACC - wins over DUKE/WF/SYR! 10-10 in his last 20 ACC games btw). We were married to Jimbo and couldn't fire him (35mm buyout). Aside from the Jameis years, his tenure has been if you were giving a grade - B/B+. Yeah I know he recruited Jameis - no he didn't actually... Deyeamune Craig did. Jimbo is great salesman. He will get you some recruits, but you guys already recruit well. I will make these predications 1) Jimbo will not finish out the length of this contract - he'll quit or you will fire him 2) someone will get fired for wasting 75mm on him. This was truly an amateur move, and a terrible trade for you.
This was a year where Jimbo was going to have to can essentially his ENTIRE staff (the staff he chose, and fought for raises and new contracts for)... so a full clean house, free of charge courtesy of you guys? Count me as a huge Aggie Fan... B/C we owe you.... HUGE!!!!
