Florida State Reportedly Eyes Jimbo Fisher Return

Florida State is reportedly exploring the possibility of rehiring Jimbo Fisher if it moves on from current coach Mike Norvell. Fisher, who now works as an ACC Network analyst, has expressed interest in returning to coaching and led the Seminoles to an 83-23 record, three ACC titles and the 2013 national championship before leaving for Texas A&M. Norvell’s recent struggles have intensified speculation about his future, but dismissing him could cost Florida State roughly $50 million in a buyout. Fisher’s financial security from his Texas A&M buyout could make a return more affordable, though questions remain about whether he could adapt to modern college football, including the transfer portal and NIL-driven roster building.
