FSU is meeting with the Team. Jimbo must be leaving for Texas A&M. FSU wants Taggart
- Thread starter BrownTurd
- Start date
I think he is.
Yeah it should be breaking soon
I wouldn't be suprised, i never did like his smug racist ass anyway
Wow really?
Why would you leave FSU for A&M?
A&M is a joke.
A&M is a joke.
Jimbo has a son that has a serious medical condition that requires him to come to Houston to get treatments, if he moves to College Station he will be a ninety min drive to the medical center instead of the two hr flight he has to do now, plus he has criticized the Administration for not keeping the football facilities current with the other schools in the area. A&M has a new stadium and state of the art facilities. This has been planned since August.
I think he is gone too.
He got a shot because the best recruits been going out of state to LSU, Florida St., Alabama and Ohio St. If he can convince them to stay he has a chance to win big.
Texas A&M or Florida St
a kid is picking florida st every single time
A&M has always been a mid-level team in the SEC
Jumbo will have one good yr and then several avg ones just like every other coach there.
They will never be Texas or anywhere close to SEC elite
Most kids want to stay local but they also want a chance to win, more kids will stay in state because Jimbo has a Championship ring he can show them, and if he is smart he will use Prarie View like Florida St used Florida A&M, to make the black players comfortable.
News flash, the Texas Longhorn program has been TRASH for 8 seasons now and counting.
The best recruits don't want to go there, and the ones that do never pan out.
Only 3 first round draft picks since 2010.
Texas A&M has had 9 since then (One #1 overall, and two #2 overalls)
Texas Seasons since 2010
2010: 5-7
2011 : 8-5
2012: 9-4
2013: 8-5
2014: 6-7
2015: 5-7
2016: 5-7
2017: 6-6 currently
When I saw that stupid shit he posted I assumed he was a UT fan.
Texas hasn't been relevant since Vince Young.
thats what i thought
Way less expectations at A&M though.
I bet the pressure put on you @ FSU is enough to cause a fucking heart attack.

He'd be better off staying there. I don't how bad the facilities are there but they gotta be ramshacked to leave a top 2 acc team to go to a middle of the pack SEC team. Then you in the sec west and gotta play bama , auburn and lsu every year. guess that money talking tho
Its not exactly as if he's been dominant at FSU lol. And honestly, he's not going to beat Richt more times than not. Plus these coaches don't choose jobs based on where they'll win the most championships. It's about the money and TxAM money isn't exactly short. Hell it could be Vanderbilt offering him 20 mil a year and he isnt saying no because he's not likely to win the SEC lol.
At Texas A&M he's got a blank checkbook to pay his assistants and top notch facilities.
They're saying he'd been begging the administration for facility upgrades but they kept ignoring him.
He also wanted to go after certain assistant coaches but couldn't because they didn't have the money in the budget.
Fisher has also been close friends with the AD at Texas A&M since high school.
Lots of back stories with this thing.
what history does A&M have?
going to the SEC was fucking stupid
with sumlin gone can they still get the recruits?
I know Texas will
Texas has always been the more prestigious program in the state of texas and it always will be
relevance?
what matters is boosters dollars
A&M is barely better when texas has been down
they wont be down for long
Florida St is the much better job with access to much better recruits
jimbo will regret that shit if he does it
A&M and Texas are both trash.
Texas A&M is reportedly preparing to offer Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher a 10-year contract to take over for the recently fired Kevin Sumlin, according to Fox 26's Mark Berman.
Citing sources, KPRC-TV's Randy McIlvoy added Fisher is "likely" to be offered a 10-year deal that pays out somewhere in the range of $7.5 million annually. On Friday, Travis Brown of the Eagle reported the board of regents was expected to give Texas A&M president Michael K. Young the go-ahead to hire Fisher.
ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach added "the Aggies are prepared to make Fisher one of the sport's three highest-paid coaches with an annual salary of more than $7 million, which would rank behind only Alabama's Nick Saban ($11.1 million in total compensation this year, average of $8.27 million over eight years)."

Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher has resigned to take the head coaching job at Texas A&M, Florida State officials announced Friday.
Fisher won't coach in the Seminoles' game against Louisiana-Monroe on Saturday. The team will be coached by associate head coach and defensive tackles coach Odell Haggins.
"Coach Fisher did an exceptional job as both an assistant coach at FSU and in the challenging role of successor to the legendary Bobby Bowden," Florida State president John Thrasher said in a statement. "I believe Texas A&M is getting one of the best coaches in college football."
Fisher, 52, had hoped to wait to announce his decision until after Saturday's regular-season finale, which the Seminoles (5-6, 3-5 ACC) need to win to extend their streak of 35 consecutive bowl games. The game was postponed from Sept. 9 and rescheduled to Saturday because of Hurricane Irma.
Sources told ESPN that Texas A&M officials have approved a 10-year, $75 million fully guaranteed contract for Fisher, which is the richest deal in college football history in terms of total value. He'll be the second highest-paid coach in the FBS with an average salary of $7.5 million, which ranks behind only Alabama's Nick Saban. The Aggies will play Fisher more than double what they paid former coach Kevin Sumlin, who made $35.5 million over six years, including his buyout.

Willie Taggart tasked with taking over Florida State after one season at Oregon
When Willie Taggart first visited Oregon before taking over as the Ducks' head coach last December, there was a giant cutout version of himself waiting in the lobby of the school's lavish football facility.
Taggart, who had just performed a magic act by turning a forgotten South Florida program into a 10-win team in 2016, giggled to himself as his car pulled into the Oregon complex. For a second, the 40-year-old coach felt like a kid on a recruiting visit.
"I thought, ‘Ah, that’s pretty cool right there,'" Taggart would later tell ESPN when talking about his journey to Oregon.
Even after moving into a new house that was built from scratch just a few days earlier in Tampa, Florida, Taggart, who was South Florida's coach at the time, knew that getting the chance to coach for a prestigious program like Oregon was something he absolutely couldn't pass up. Taggart envisioned himself staying in Eugene for as long as he could. He was surrounded by arguably the nation's best facilities, there was endless fan support, he had faith in his administration, and he felt like he could compete with the Alabamas and Clemsons of the sport in recruiting.
“It’s a challenge that I always wanted," Taggart told ESPN in September. "I worked really hard to be in this position."
