Jimbo Fisher is ready to coach again. The former Florida State and Texas A&M head coach, whose career includes a national championship and five top-10 finishes, says the competitive fire still burns as he eyes another opportunity on the sideline. Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger reports that
Fisher has been preparing for months, watching film, organizing a potential staff, and mapping a recruiting plan.
His timing coincides with growing speculation in Tallahassee about the future of current Florida State coach Mike Norvell, whose job security has become a topic of debate following recent struggles. That uncertainty has fueled talk that Fisher could be in the mix if a change is made, adding a familiar twist to one of college football’s most-watched storylines.
Sitting inside a Tallahassee restaurant, Fisher reflected on his career and his motivation. “I never got into coaching for money,” he said. “Well, I’m not going to get out of it because I’ve got money.” He remains driven by the same love of football that defined his rise at Florida State, even as he continues to receive the $77 million buyout from Texas A&M.
