GT made this mistake with Gailey, NCSU with Amato (although the replacement is still strong, he'll probably see the same fate). And Carolina almost did the same decades ago, with Dean Smith a bumpy start. Patience, guys!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-84211743574927171382007-12-12T01:58:00.000-05:002007-12-12T01:58:00.000-05:00It does not matter.Jimbo Fisherwill never be a Bob...It does not matter.Jimbo Fisher<BR/>will never be a Bobby Bowden.<BR/>Jimbo Fisher can never feel the shoes of Bobby 'NEVER"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-22680735294908675502007-12-11T10:47:00.000-05:002007-12-11T10:47:00.000-05:00The whole world knows Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno...The whole world knows Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno are locked in a race to be the #1 alltime winningest D1A coach in history and neither will even consider retiring unless the school does it for them but that is highly unlikely because FSU and PSU knows that it stands to be the beneficiary of this college football duel of the geezers even though BB is a couple yrs younger than Pappy Joe who turned 80 but hey that never stopped Bruton Smith who is 81 and just been re-energized too on the local level showing he is the King with no competition able to bring small town arrogant politican to their knees to cry uncle and beg so noone got anything on the <BR/>Metro-Charlotte area in this age department thingie either. <BR/><BR/>All this should be an incentive to all the old fart geezers out there with pace makers and canes. In the end when JP and BB or BS in racing all hit 100 wearing pace makers and in wheel chairs then you may see a coaching change but thats 20 yrs off. All these young whippersnappers bitchin about them will all be dead.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-54503734384338819182007-12-11T08:46:00.000-05:002007-12-11T08:46:00.000-05:00You cannot be serious.

This announcement is simply a public confirmation of what was discussed behind closed doors.<BR/><BR/>And to compare Skip Holtz to Jimbo Fisher is like comparing a Civic to a BMW. The only thing Skip had ever done was be Lou's son (just like Spurrier's kid). Jimbo has won 2 SEC championships and a National Title at LSU as the OC. <BR/><BR/>Further, naming him as the coach in waiting, only helps when it comes to recruiting, which Jimbo is perfect at. Lest you forget who brought JaMarcus Russell AND Matt Mauch to LSU, it wasnt Saban/Miles, it was Jimbo. And this isnt a passing thing, if you review the terms of his new contract, he gets serious dollars if they name someone else as head coach. This level of stability and having someone on the inside get moved up is a great move for FSU. Just a few more years until we are relevant again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6039124955271190898.post-36748830630483761812007-12-11T07:52:00.000-05:002007-12-11T07:52:00.000-05:00Does the head coach have to come from outside the ...Does the head coach have to come from outside the organization? Fisher will have been at FSU for three years by the time Bowden steps down (prob end of 2009).<BR/>FSU was built on stability -- something the rest of the ACC knows nothing about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
