1. Fisher has built something great in Tallahassee

Outside of the 2017 season, Jimbo Fisher has known nothing but success in Tallahassee after building the Seminoles up. He didn’t exactly inherit a bare cupboard, but he has still brought the program to national relevancy after having just one 10-win seasons under Bobby Bowden in the nine previous seasons.

Leaving for Texas A&M would throw all that hard work out the window and force him to start over at a program which hasn’t won a national title since the 1930s and is without a conference championship since being part of the Big 12 — the last conference title was 1998.

Is Fisher prepared for somewhat of a rebuild in College Station after building something great in Tallahassee that will likely take the offseason to fix after a subpar 6-6 (most likely) season? It doesn’t seem like the logical choice, even if he is one of the better coaches in college football and a rebuild with Texas A&M wouldn’t take too long.

Let’s face it, Fisher has turned down other offers before, is from the East Coast, has an already-elite program and facilities at his disposal and he won a title with the Seminoles not too long ago. It’d be a shock to see him leave Tallahassee for College Station, or any other job.
