With the Florida State Seminoles’ second-consecutive disastrous start to a season, some of the more extreme members of FSU’s fanbase are calling for Jimbo Fisher to be fired.

Given his overall track record at the school, that would seem foolish.

But even if he deserved to be, it wouldn’t happen.

Even if Fisher lost his team, and no longer had buy-in from his players.

Even if he angers donors by belittling their sizable accomplishments and donations, as he did on his radio show.

Even if FSU loses all of its remaining 2017 FBS games and finished 3-8.

That’s right.

Why? Because Jimbo Fisher just a signed a contract extension with a buyout of roughly $40M. That is such a prohibitive sum, that there is no way a school could pay it this year, or any time soon. No school in the history of college football has paid anything close to that number.

It’s just not feasible. Half of that would be an astronomical sum, much less the whole thing. It’s just not going to happen.

The best those fans can hope for is that Florida State makes the 3-4 coaching changes that, in hindsight, it should have made last year. Those coaching changes caused Fisher to lash out at a fan after FSU’s loss to Louisville.

Jimbo Fisher’s buyout at Florida State is how much? - Tomahawk Nation

Didn't these fans ask for Coach Fisher?

Not to mention, FSU's two victories (Duke and Wake Forest) were wins by 7 points each...so they're arguably two plays from being 0-7.

I wouldn't have guessed that Francois was this big of a hit.

Fun Fact: UGA and Florida have been playing their game with their home team jersey, for the last three years. But, those years saw the Bulldogs lose to the Gators. The last two times UGA had worn their White away jersey was in 2011 and 2013, guess which team won, on those two days? So UGA is going to wear those white jerseys for today's game.

Okla St vs West Virg. is on TV here!

 

[rick4bama]

OK. St QB is injury on second play, WV got football on fumble.

Ten more minutes and then the Chelsea game comes on. Not only will I be watching my EPL team, but also I'll be escaping Tuberville. He is a male version of Pam Ward, just damn painful to listen to.

Arky and Ole Missdial having a shootout

Corso picked the Buckeyes over PSU.

Should be an interesting game.

Gotta give Arky credit for not laying down. After that fumble by the QB where the refs fucked Arky, I honestly thought they would quit.

And I'm glad, too. Piggies just gave me some Bama bucks.

Penn State needed just 15 seconds to take the lead at Ohio State.

 

[rick4bama]

Penn St 14-0 Ohio St lost ball with a fumble.

Here I was thinking that the Penn. St. and Ohio St. would be on ABC here. No it the TCU and Iowa St game.

Forgot that Fox network also show the B1G games. So the Penn. St. and Ohio St. game is on Fox. :doh2:

No Bama game, so this will be channel surfing today!! :bman:

 

[EasyTider]

Glad I had time to lay down 30k on Buckeyes to win.

Iowa St. 7 TCU 0
Georgia 14 FL 0

OK has anyone watching the Penn.St. and Ohio St. game? What do you think about Ohio St. uniforms? Me I think someone just needed money, because those thing are U-G-L-Y!!
