With the uncertainty at LSU involving head coach Les Miles, Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher's name has been involved in the rumor mill involving a potential opening at one of his former employers. During his Wednesday evening call-in show, Fisher was asked in an indirect manner about potentially leaving FSU for another job in the college ranks. "I just want to let you know we love you as a coach and we also think that Florida State is the best place in the land to coach," the caller said. "What would it take for you to leave Florida State to coach for another school?" This is how Fisher responded to that question. "I'm happy where I'm at. I'm very happy here. I've got a great job," Fisher asnwered. "You don't ever get into that. That is why I don't ever comment on jobs - I made that statement earlier. That is disrespectful to both sides of it. "I love this place. It is a great place and it has been very good to me," Fisher added. "Hopefully I will end up being very good to it."

Granted as a Nole fan I don't want Jimbo to geaux. It could be that my extreme desire to hear that he's not leaving is skewing my understanding of his statement yesterday. It could also be that Jimbo is a master of double speak and managed to say exactly what each side of the coaching tug of war wanted to hear.

But I don't think so. That statement seems fairly clear that he is in fact happy where he is and intends to stay. Now he could have removed all doubt and have said, "I'm staying as head coach of FSU for the remainder of this season and next season." but even I know that such a statement can not be uttered before guarantee of FSU salary increases etc. Otherwise if FSU balks at matching an LSU offer and he has to take the better pay then he will be exactly like much reviled Nick Saban when he said he was staying at LSU and then bolted.

I think Fisher stays at FSU. Short of you guys making Candi reconcile with him and putting out a contract on Taylor Jacobs he goes neaux where....put I would not put it past you to try either of the aforementioned.

Just like Saban going to TX. Done deal. Yeah right. Leave the easy arse ACC to come to a school where they run off a coach who wins 78% in the SEC. Okay. Keep dreaming
