Texas A&M Football: 5 reasons Jimbo Fisher isn’t a realistic option

2. Lateral move, at best, with rebuild

Let’s look at the state of both programs, shall we? Florida State is arguably the top ACC football program, with the exception of a currently surging Clemson program. The Tigers and Seminoles are the class of the conference and both will be national title contenders to start each season.

Texas A&M, on the other hand, hasn’t won a division title since 2010. In that time, Fisher has won four division titles, three conference crowns and a national title. He’s clearly having success so why go to the Aggies and perform a rebuild?

This is not to say Texas A&M is in a dire situation, but Aggie fans are going to expect results right away from whoever takes over in College Station and it won’t be that easy. The program needs to be put in the right direction with a coach willing to stay patient during a rebuilding process.

Fisher has never truly had to rebuild and I doubt he wants to start now with a stable job already at Florida State, one of the all-time most successful programs.
