FORMER FLORIDA STATE AND TEXAS A&M COACH JIMBO FISHER ‘VERY INTERESTED’ IN RETURNING TO COACHING
In the ever-shifting landscape of college football, the name Jimbo Fisher still carries weight. The former Florida State Seminoles and Texas A&M Aggies head coach, who once stood at the pinnacle of the sport, has recently revealed his strong interest in returning to the sidelines. In his own words: “I would be very interested in still doing it because I think I’ve still got a lot to give and I’d like to get back out there. I really would.”
For many, Fisher’s career is defined by two starkly different chapters. At Florida State, he engineered one of the most dominant stretches in program history, including a 2013 national championship with a team led by Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston. His time in Tallahassee cemented his reputation as an offensive mastermind and a recruiter capable of building rosters stacked with NFL-caliber talent. However, his tenure at Texas A&M, while punctuated by flashes of promise, ended with unmet expectations despite historic NIL support and some of the most lucrative resources in college football.
Now, with coaching vacancies always looming in the sport and programs constantly searching for leaders who can command respect and instill belief, Fisher’s name reemerges as one worth watching. His experience in the pressure-cooker environments of both the ACC and SEC gives him unique insight into navigating today’s NIL-driven, transfer portal-fueled era of college athletics.
The bigger question remains: where could Fisher land? Would he seek a return to a Power Five program eager for a proven name, or would he consider reinventing himself at a Group of Five school, using it as a platform to showcase his ability to adapt to the modern game?
Regardless of the destination, Fisher’s declaration signals that he isn’t done with football just yet. For fans and programs alike, the prospect of seeing Jimbo back on the sidelines adds another layer of intrigue to the upcoming coaching carousel. If given the right opportunity, he may just remind the nation why his coaching legacy was built on resilience, adaptability, and the belief that there is always more to give.
