He's calling the shots and he's full of baloney. It doesn't make it right but he's not the only coach who says one thing and does another.
I listened to the entire Sirius deal yesterday on my five hour drive to my Mom's house.If you go back and read his PC yesterday I think he pretty much states the suspension came from over his head - meaning either the AD or the President. Now why you, if your Jimbo, would you not take ownership of the suspension so as to at least appear to have measure of integrity (even if the suspension was inadequate) and take credit for it. But no he passed the buck. I think we can clearly see from the last year where Jimbo stands on his undeniable and laughably ignorant support of JW. Seriously the only reason you would put up with this kind of behavior from one of your players is if he is getting or got something under the table. Regardless if you are struggling financially, FSU administration ought to recognize you cant harbor this kind of behavior nowadays. If anything else comes out about JW, it could seriously undermine Jimbo's ability to lead the program going forward.
That means that the school sets the minimum punishment. I will never believe that the administrators told him that he was limited to that punishment and could not expand upon it.I listened to the entire Sirius deal yesterday on my five hour drive to my Mom's house.
Basically his excuse was, "when any student misconduct happens on campus, it becomes an administrative issue and not one to be decided by the athletic department or coaches".
You are entitled to your opinion, but Fisher is more important to that program than Winston and the administration knows it. They are not going to fire him over a conflict over the punishment of Winston. Simply not going to happen. And Fisher has a contract. If they fired him under those conditions he would be hired during the off-season while still collecting a paycheck from FSU for relaxing on a beach for the rest of this season.Jimbo ain't calling the shots at Free shoes U. The admin told him what was gonna go down and how he was gonna speak on it or he can look for another place to coach and there aren't many job openings at the first of a season (just my $.02 worth).
to me that reads like admin speak for "wow, we really stepped in it and need to find a face saving measure, and fast"I listened to the entire Sirius deal yesterday on my five hour drive to my Mom's house.

i think fisher is at fsu for the long haulIf Tampa Bay (NFL) keeps allowing teams to hang 56 on them Jimbo Fisher might be in Tampa Bay next season...
one good thing about all of this is that sunlight is a very effective disinfectantWhat an utter embarressment this has become for everybody... FSU, JW, and worst of all CJF!
He looks totally out of touch and lost in all of this.
Only winner might be Clemson and the rest of college football who doesn't want to see FSU repeat this year.
Same. Easy wins/ conference + easy recruiting area + high pay and prestige = great coaching job.i think fisher is at fsu for the long haul
