Fishing For A New Coach

Head coaches at various college football programs are dropping, dropping, dropping!

So what do you do when your number one guy says "See ya!" You go steal away great talent from other schools. Great talent that is itching/looking/ready/willing to jump into the hot seat. Naturally, its the thing to do.

Normally I would not be concerned. Bobby Bowden is to FSU what Santa is to Christmas. Connected forever. Foorrreeevvveerrrr.

But this! This! This news is a little rise for concern. A little.

Turns out Jimbo Fisher, the man Bobby fought long and hard to get to come to FSU, isn't exactly happy. (After this season and our offensive woes, I can't/don't blame him.) And with alllllll these schools, (GEORGIA TECH) looking to steal away some talent, Fisher knows his name has been dropped more then casually as a candidate.

According to WARCHANT.COM, FSU wants to do all that it can to keep Fisher put. And if that means possibly setting up a path to make him the NEXT head coach.. then that is a real possibility.

Rumor has it Bobby is looking at a final contract. Some say 5 years. Probably closer to the 2-3 range. A key component is the bonus at the end of the contract... which would be if retirement is in fact chosen, a cool $1 million paycheck would be in the mail.

Gonna be an interesting week in Tally.
