Jimbo Fisher Started His First Football Practice at Florida State Yesterday


John James "Jimbo" Fisher is currently head coach at the Florida State University.

As a senior student at Samford University Fisher was the NCAA Division III National Player of the Year. From 2000-2007 he served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at LSU. From 2006 to 2009 he was offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and, beginning in 2007, head coach-in-waiting for the Florida State Seminoles. Bobby Bowden, Florida State's head coach of 34 years, retired after the team's appearance in its 28th consecutive bowl game on 2010 January 1.Fisher took over as head coach soon after. Florida State is Fisher's first head coaching position. From Wikipedia.

As much as I am unhappy with the way FSU fired Bobby Bowden after his 34 years of service as head coach - Jimbo Fisher did not do anything wrong. He will get my benefit of any doubt. Harry.
