Agreed. It would have been more accurate to say, "Fisher has no comment regarding LSU job."

It's technically true, ESPN IS trying to say that, wrong or not.

He was even kinda laughing about it. He's so excited to be coming to LSU

Note how when he talks about the LSU job he doesnt really look anyone in the eyes as he talk about it.

He stares down people the rest of the interview when talking about FSU

There is about 49% of me that thinks the whole Jimbo to LSU thing literally and completely is derived from this board and one poster, that is likely as connected as my chocolate lab.

It just took off.

Honestly, I wish the buzz would die down a little. If it happens, it happens.

Not really quoted accurately, to be fair. They leave out the part about "he's just preparing for syracuse" before putting "what I'm going to do". Changes the tone greatly.


Here is the first part of the quote.

quote:

“Here’s the thing, I’m not going to talk about any jobs,” Fisher said. “I love being at Florida State. I plan on being here, and I’m just getting ready for Syracuse.”


He is answering the question the only logical way a coach can. Every coach has learned coachspeak: The only job I talk about is the one I have.

There is nothing in Jimbo's comment to either strengthen or weaken the argument he is leaving FSU.

Me? I think it is 80+% he is leaving FSU for Baton Rouge. That's up from 60% two days ago.

I wonder why ESPN would put this out? It's a clear misrepresentation of his quote. Even a Florida State fan can admit that. So why?

Yea I mean if there was no interest then I'd think he'd shoot it down with a quickness.

Either way, Jimbo or no Jimbo, LSU and FSU are premier jobs and will both be fine

Your problem is you went to ESPN for your source without reading the entire thing. That "..." is a writer's wet dream. They can make people say whatever they want like that. Just take a look at how movie trailers will use critic review pieces to make all reviews look good.

Meh, Bret has been on here since the beginning of this search. He has been pretty objective throughout. I'm still very cautious after last year...don't want to melt again.
