Jimbo Fisher: I'm staying at Florida State
Jimbo Fisher is not heading to the SEC.
The Florida State coach was mentioned as a possible successor to LSU coach Les Miles. But LSU decided Saturday Miles was staying. So when Georgia split with coach Mark Richt, Fisher, a former assistant at LSU and Auburn, was mentioned as a possible replacement.
He's not going to be doing that. Fisher was asked by the Orlando Sentinel's Mike Bianchi if he was staying at FSU on Tuesday. Here's his straightforward answer:
"You're exactly right," Fisher said. "I'm staying right here at Florida State."
As we've mentioned before, Fisher would be silly to leave Florida State unless, well, he was heading for a job he had to have. And given that the Seminoles have been a consistent power and a national-title-winning team in his tenure, there aren't many jobs that seem incredibly more attractive than Florida State.

"There is no doubt I do (have one of the best jobs in America)," Fisher told me Tuesday. "This is a tremendous place. The Florida State people have been wonderful. This is a great place to live, a great place to coach; we've got great players, great tradition and great history. This is a tremendous job and a heckuva place. I love it here.
LSU wasn't one of those upgrades or have-to-have jobs. Georgia certainly isn't one of them either unless you're blinded by an SEC light that believes many SEC jobs are better than a top school in another Power 5 conference.
The Bulldogs just got rid of a very successful former Florida State assistant after a 9-3 season. It was a similar situation to LSU; it's just that Georgia officials pulled the trigger on getting rid of Richt. LSU apparently had cold feet after letting Miles twist in the wind for the past couple weeks.
Fisher is 68-13 in his Florida State tenure. Unless the NFL comes calling, expect that win total to increase significantly before the end of his Seminoles career.
