Alright, let’s gab a bit about this fella, Jimbo Fisher, and that Florida State football team. Folks been talkin’ ’bout him, so I figured I’d chime in, you know?
Jimbo Fisher and Florida State: The Early Days
Now, from what I hear, Jimbo, he was at Florida State for a good spell. Started off as the offensive coordinator, kinda like the cook in the kitchen, makin’ sure the plays got cooked up right. Did that for three years, then he took over as the head coach, the big boss man, for eight years. That’s a long time, like plantin’ a seed and watchin’ it grow into a whole darn tree.
Folks say he did alright too. Won a bunch of games, they say. Ten and four his first year, that’s pretty good, right? Like gettin’ ten outta twelve eggs to hatch, that’s somethin’ to crow about. They even won that ACC Atlantic Division thing. Sounded important, like winnin’ the blue ribbon at the county fair.
The Big Win and the Leaving
And then, the big one. Back in 2013, they went and won the whole darn national championship! Yep, the BCS National Championship. Folks still talk about that. He was the head coach then, the top dog. Like bein’ the queen bee, everyone lookin’ to you. That’s a big deal, makin’ the whole state proud.
- He was there 11 years, that’s a long time.
- First he was the offensive coordinator, then the head coach.
- They won a bunch, even the national championship in 2013.
But then, things changed. Seems like some folks weren’t too happy towards the end. They say he “pulled the ripcord” in his last season when the team was 5 and 6. That’s like leavin’ the stove on and walkin’ away, not a good thing to do. Some folks blame him for how things are now with the team. Say he left things in a mess, like a chicken coop after a fox got in.
Texas A&M and Beyond
He went off to Texas A&M after that. Coached there for six seasons. They say he was good at gettin’ new players, but maybe not so good at keepin’ ’em in line. Like havin’ a whole bunch of horses but not enough fences. And then they fired him. But don’t you worry ‘bout him, he got paid real good when they let him go, 76 million dollars! That’s more money than I ever seen in my life!
What Folks Are Saying
Now, some folks, they liked him. Said they were glad he was there. Guess he did some good things. Like plantin’ a good crop, even if the next fella didn’t harvest it right. Other folks, they ain’t so happy, like I said. Blame him for the team’s troubles. It’s always like that, ain’t it? Some folks like the preacher, some folks don’t.
Jimbo’s Record
They say his winnin’ record is pretty good, though. 128 wins and 48 losses over 14 years at big schools. That’s like winnin’ more hands of poker than you lose. And he won most of his bowl games too. So, he musta known somethin’ about football, even if some folks got their grumbles.
Final Thoughts
So, that’s the gist of it, as far as I can tell. Jimbo Fisher, he was a big deal at Florida State, won ‘em a championship, then he left. Some folks happy, some folks not. Just like life, I reckon. You do your best, some folks appreciate it, some folks don’t. That’s just how it is. But one thing’s for sure, he made a mark. Like a good rain, it changes the land, even if it moves on.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say ‘bout that. Gotta go feed the chickens now.
