re: Thoughts on Fisher from a Nole fan.

IF Jimbo leaves, who do you want as the next head coach of Florida State?

Thanks for a respectful post in enemy territory Bret and agree on your points. I don't think Jimbo would come if exwife didn't agree to move with him as he would want to be close to children. That being said sometimes change is good and is needed by both sides. No one could argue they are not having some problems in Tallahassee and I along with many think he and she although divorced move to Baton Rouge. Good luck tomorrow against Fla I can't say I'm pulling for FSU but I an Fisher especially if he's our next coach.

OK. My crack investigative squad has just laid it out to me. Apparently the seeds of discord were sewed into Jimbo's marriage when he made the fateful decision to move his wife out of Baton Rouge and into that hell hole called Tallahasee. In an attempt to save his marriage, he called his old boss for a favor. Nick called in a few markers from influential power players in BR and the decision was made to can Miles to open a spot for Jimbo.

"Flo from Progressive. That's what some dude in the bar said last night, but he was pretty trashed."

You have to appreciate good humor!

FSU is a top tier job. In $'s, winning tradition, current situation, ability to recruit and compete, national prestige: FSU is at least not far behind, if not right up there or above LSU (marginally either way)

So if Fisher leaves it is because he wants out of Tallahassee for reasons outside of that. I'm speculating but maybe he has a riff with some important people there, he thinks his personal situation would improve if he moves, or he just needs a change. This isn't the case here but when situations like that are present occasionally people change jobs even for less money.

We are taking your coach. Thanks and good luck.
