📡 Is Jimbo Fisher eyeing a return to coaching?

[Krimson]

Jimbo doesn’t need the money but it’s a pride thing. He was paid very well at FSU and A&M (too well). That establishes his “value.” Why would he decrease his value by going to a MAC school or a lower tier BIG10 or ACC school? Those schools that may look at him need to be aware that he’s likely to leave after only a few years. Why bring someone in to build a program if they’re going to leave when the first big program comes calling?

Because it's the only shot he's got. No major school should touch him. Every coach who wins at a lower level school is likely to leave when the first big program comes calling, just part of the haves and the have mores.

Sounds like a perfect fit for the barn, to me. Minimal chances of being a big winner, exponentially larger chance at getting a buyout in a couple years? CHECK! Perfect AU head coaching material.

I think he fits best right where he is unless his fire for football has changed greatly.

Running his mouth at 90mph on an ACC podcast is his best fit in my view. He can be as outlandish as he wants (like claiming the '13 FSU team was the best of all time.)

I'll watch several episodes of ACC Huddle this fall. I hope I don't start seeing him as much as some of the guests on SEC Now with little to offer.

There's only one coach in history that's had three teams start in the top ten and by season's end they were unranked.

Anyone care to guess which coach?

Highlight of his career? NC at FSU or coaching the team that stopped Saban’s win streak vs the unranked? BTW, that’s one record that won’t ever be broken.

The NC did the most for his career... but the win over Saban likely did the most for his ego. I hate that he got to enjoy that win... and I bet deep down if he was honest, Saban would say the same.

The NC did the most for his career

That NC did the most for shaping how people view him as a HC: see the way he handled Winston. That told me all I needed.

He's a louder mouthed Dabo. A major goofball that walks around thinking he has to continously prove his point because his work doesn't do it for him.

He has 93 million reasons not too..

Jimbo would be better off being OC somewhere

Exactly what I was about to say. He doesn't have the constitution of a HC, particularly at a demanding school. I cringe every time I see footage of him addressing his former players/teams.

There was a Jimbo Fisher sighting in T-Town yesterday. Maybe he is working with Deboer? Just kidding he was in T-Town but he was moving one of his kids into the dorms.

No idea what that means...

Think about Jimbo speaking anywhere.
