Jimbo Fisher

I'd rather have Jeff (field goal) Fisher than Jimbo.. Jimbo isn't a big name... I'm not sure he's even all that good a coach.. FSU has had some mediocre seasons under Jimbo, in the ACC i might add..

This year's Tennessee team would have had 8 or 9 wins in that crap conference..

Fisher has consistently recruited top 5 classes over the past 2-3 years. He may not be a big name to you, but he is to high school seniors who can run a 4.4.

You think he could convince them to come up to Tennessee? As it is all he really has to do is recruit his own state. 4 or 5 five stars fall in his lap.. We've seen this before.. We've gotten assistants from top programs and still couldn't get the talent.. Jimbo would face a lot tougher recruiting here..

Bring Eddie Gran, keep Jay Graham, and get couple good coordinators (Steele or Ellis J. as DC), and Fisher would be a good hire.

Fisher would be a homerun hire. He is a fantastic recruiter and has a great offensive mind. If he brings in a solid DC, UT would be dangerous with Fisher as the head coach.

He has connections all over Florida and Georgia. Given his recruiting abilities, I'd say he'd bring in top 5 classes annually at UT.

He'd have a lot tougher time here.. I don't doubt he'd recruit better than Doolittle did.. Not sure about top 5 classes..

Don't worry about it.. The only reason his name has come up is because Hart used to be FSU's AD.. I'm close to 100 percent certain Jimbo Fisher isn't coming here..

You do realize that Les Miles was in the Big 12 before the SEC and Nick Saban was in the Big 10 before right? Oh wait Steve Spurrier was in the ACC before the SEC. Man you are right those guys have had horrible careers. Who would want them?

I have thought Pelini was a good idea for a while now. Most just don't seem to think he is a good option. Solid offense, good defense and he has SEC ties. He makes under 3 million a year so IMO, 3.85 or so gets him. I think keeping Chaney would even be an option with Pelini. I think Hart has alot of options when the time comes to actually pick his guy.

A head coach is only as good as the coaches under him. It scares me to think his DC is not coming with him which was his strong point. I don't think he choses to come here unless rumors are true that his OC is leaving to go coach with stoops in Kentucky. I could see him ready to jump ship so he does not have to start over at FL St. He won't get anytime to rebuild there which is what he will be doing next year. I actually think if he has to hire an OC as well next year he will be on the hot seat after next year at FL ST. No thanks.

I don't understand the hatred for Fisher. He's proven he can recruit with the big boys. He's got two ten win seasons in 3 years, could quite possibly go 12-2. Yeah he's lost some games he shouldn't have, but name me ONE COACH IN AMERICA WHO HASN'T! As I stated in another thread. Fulmer lost to Memphis...FREAKING MEMPHIS....then went on to win a NC. Saban lost to LM, Myles lost to UK. Yet he doesn't get credit for beating good teams like Clemson. If we've got a chance to get him from FSU after three straight 5 win seasons, I think that's pretty darn good. As for the big losses...he's only in his 3rd yr as a HC. Ever think he could have went thru growing pains as a HC that others went thru? IMO he's clearly got the best resume of the names I'm hearing we are looking at. And the ACC isn't the SEC, but the pressure to win at FSU is very similar to that of some SEC schools, and a very good prep course to prepare a coach to coach at a place like UT. I think some of our fans are 1)butthurt over the Gruden deal and not willing to give any coach a chance or 2) living in a fantasy land.

We've got a serious chance to get two coaches who are gonna be in a BCS bowl (Strong/Fisher) yet all I hear is "I don't want". Well I DO WANT, and would take him and support Jimbo to the FULLEST until he gives me reason not to. I mean seriously...compare his resume to anyone's out there who is a realistic candidate. I think dude would make a fine coach for Tennessee and be here for a long time. JMO

Could our fanbase live with:

HC-Fisher

OC-Chaney

DC-Chavis or Narduzzi

???

My main concern with a Fisher hire would be could he just be a Fulmer hire at twice the price? 8-9 wins is great with where we are today. At 4 million dollars plus, you expect to win some SEC titles pretty quickly.

Can't beat NC State, do not want.

Also Fedora could not beat Duke (our KY equivalent) also do not want.

For my money, I want Gundy. Already shown he can win, his tutelage can be traced to Mr. Majors through Les Miles, and he's 45 now...that means he's got 5 more years of man on him since he did the infamous speech (and there has to be a good PR opportunity using that speech)...He's got a fire in his belly and a hunger we haven't seen since the early Fulmer years (no pun intended). I think he's the guy. Flame away.

I would like Gundy but there's no shot at him coming here. He played at Ok State and now he's coaching them. He's living the dream IMO. He would be a good hire but he's not leaving there

Good points. I would take him. I think Pelini needs to get on the board though for consideration. I am not really that impressed with Strong or his record at Louisville.

I would not base my decison to hire a guy on 1 loss. Teams have off days. Turnovers happen. Have to look at the body of work. Fisher makes near 3 million dollars a year at FSU. Is he worth 4 million a year with only 3 years as a HC and doing it in Florida recruiting grounds? The folks saying "he recruits well" does not hold alot of water IMO because FSU recruits itself about as good as any school in the country.
