re: Joe Alleva said he never would have hired Jimbo Fisher

Makes sense. He was AD at Duke and did probably know a lot of athletic administrators in the ACC. Looking at Fisher's steady decline following Winston's departure, culminating in a 7-6 season his final year at Florida State, it is pretty obvious that Fisher is dangerously close to becoming a has been. Time will tell if he can avoid this at Texas A&M but, if his first two season are any indication, it was a good move to not hire him, especially for the money he was demanding.
