I'm from Tallahassee - any thoughts on Jimbo Fisher?

Fisher was a highly respected OC when he was at LSU and it was just a matter of time before he got a HC offer. I guess there was a little surprise when he decided to go to FSU in the same position he held at LSU, but I think everyone knew he was the HC in training. While he was here most everyone liked him and appreciated what he did for the LSU offense. Once he went to FSU however, he suddenly became a lousy coach and an idiot. Same thing with Saban.

 

On the contrary, many LSU fans were begging for Jimbo to move on well before he left - including myself.

And as islttlslsls just pointed out, Crowton's offense has been much more impressive.

 

As for Jimbo, I always felt that he would make a better head coach than offensive coordinator. He can recruit & develop players, but his play calling is suspect.

So long as he doesn't try to call his own plays as HC, I think he'll be very good.

 

Id compare Fisher to the Republican party.......

The reason why I say this is (He is very conservative, but will surprise you every once in a while with a gay or sex scandal):lol: just a joke conservatives.

very conservative play calling, will go deep down the filed every now and then.

 

That's an interesting assortment of replies

Hi again folks,

Well, that was certainly an interesting set of replies concerning Jimbo Fisher. He sounds like a real football coach because the opinions seem divided somewhat which is the way it usually is for coaches. Especially for offensive coordinators. Like I said, he has been pretty well received here and if the new offensive line coach from West Virginia can get his side of things going maybe we will have a chance to improve in the future. I just have a gut feeling Jimbo will be able to recruit well. FSU just doesn't have the quality players it used to and I think some of that may have been due to Coach Bowden's age and maybe Jimbo can help fill that void or question mark. We'll just have to see. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work. If it works then it works. Time will tell. Meanwhile, they are going to let Jimbo get some more experience in booster relations, fund raising etc. and the like. I guess a head coach helps raise funds. And the #2 QB in the country has committed here so we'll see.

I think the LSU-Florida game this year was one of the greatest games I have ever seen. Wow! Even though it worked people were still second guessing Miles on his calls late in the game when he chose to keep on running. He seems a gambler. That pass play he called in that game with no time left on the clock was insane! But uhh... well, it worked.

I think Coach Saban was a little suprised at how many games Alabama lost this year. I could be wrong but that was the feeling I got.

I grew up 90 miles from Gainesville and live 150 miles from there now. They have a QB there in Gainesville that is kind of famous right now if you catch my drift.

Good luck in the BCS game. If anyone is still interested or hasn't done so yet please post more replies about Jimbo. It's interesting.
