I have a feeling that Jimbo is already the HC at FSU, for all intent and purpose


Somebody has to run that program. No way Bobby B. can work those hours and that's why Jimbo will be the highest paid assistant in college ball next year.

From a recruiting standpoint, the deal is a good idea. Other than that, I'm not so sure.

That's a difficult position for Jimbo to be in, IMO, being the heir apparent to a guy whose program has struggled recently. He had to defer to Bobby, but when he finally takes over he'll be part of the old administration.

So he won't get the benefit of starting with a clean slate, or having a honeymoon period, like a new coach would.

This will be Bobby Bowden's Last year.

Jimbo Fisher will be the next HC at Florida State in 2009. Bank on it.

i don't see any way jimbo leaves for WVU but i think it would be a good move for him to make since he is from WV and he would inherit a very talented team and would probably own the big east for years to come.

Not gonna happen. He would be an idiot to leave FSU for WVU. He is guaranteed the job at FSU when Bowden retires.

There are no guarantees in College Football...With the current cheating problems going on at FSU they may actually have to clean house to save their program...If all of this falls out Jimbo might be asked to leave with Bowden...

I'm looking at the top 25...don't see Miami or Florida State....See Clemson and Boston C though...and last year Wake won the thing...It's different now that they've gone to 12 teams...IMO

He has a 2.5 mil buyout. He's not going anywhere. Who would pay that for an assistant?


Isn't the buyout one way. If he is fired, then FSU has to pay him 2.5 mil.

If I were on the other side of that door I would duck behind the couch so he couldn't see me

What are you going to say after he loses to Colorado in the Indy Bowl. Nick will be in T-town 5 years tops.

Someone will have to take the fall at FSU. At LSU it was only the guy head of tutoring.......academics.
