Jimbo Fisher Open to Coaching Return, Eyes Future

Jimbo Fisher, former head coach of Texas A&M and Florida State, has stated his strong interest in returning to college football coaching, emphasizing he is 59, in good health, and not considering retirement. Following his firing in 2023, Fisher received a record $77.5 million buyout after an underwhelming tenure at Texas A&M, where injuries, especially at quarterback, contributed to the team's struggles. He highlighted the Aggies' 2020 season, finishing No. 4 nationally, as a significant achievement. Fisher boasts a 72% career winning percentage and a national championship at Florida State. He credits mentors Bobby Bowden and Nick Saban for shaping his coaching philosophy and remains proud of his recruiting and player relationships. While enjoying family time and preparing for a broadcasting role with the ACC Network, Fisher remains open to returning to coaching if the right opportunity arises.
