What was old is inevitably new again. Especially at Florida State.
Interesting. Why, though? Well, like all things college football today…it’s money.
Norvell remains unlikely to be fired if the Seminoles lose that game, but if the scoreline is ugly enough, it could lead to an immediate change. If that were to happen, the nearly $50 million he would be owed in a buyout would strap FSU financially in its coaching search, and that could give Fisher the upper hand.
Fisher was fired from Texas A&M in 2023 and became the recipient of the largest buyout in college football history, $77.6 million. So Fisher could take a cut-rate salary to lessen the stress on the program and offer an immediate arrival.
Hey, he’s already rich…so it won’t really cost nothing, will it?
Never mind Fisher couldn’t accomplish anything with what was assuredly some of the highest paid rosters out there with a stacked blue chip class of players (who ultimately never panned out)…but he’s affordable!
There’s a reason Florida State hasn’t been relevant since the 63-3 drubbing by Georgia, and it’s not all because Georgia killed their will.
Good luck with that, Seminoles. When you have Publix tastes on an Aldi budget, sometimes you have to look for a steal.
Bring back Jameis while you’re at it.
Jimmy Sexton sits quietly in the background and says, “No Jimbo, you’re not going back there at a discount. You worry about saying all the right things and let me handle the negotiations. And I repeat, no discount.” And F$U disappears further down the rabbit hole.
