Well, we've reached the tipping point under Jimbo Fisher

A coach who had recruited at a lesser level would be done after last year and the start to this season. Jimbo has the talent that he's not a dead man walking just yet, but if this season falls apart and you finish 6-6 or worse there will be lots of transfers and recruiting will take a major hit. And at that point he would definitely be done.
I think it obviously starts with a QB change and movement along the OL. No coach is going to put together a good offense with a QB and OL playing like this. Haynes King had a couple wide open throws perfectly set up for him to win the game today and couldnt hit them. But beyond that Jimbo MUST start getting more input from Dickey and implementing more modern RPO concepts and less west coach passing game and zone blocking. And ultimately I think this offseason he needs to seriously evaluate if he can continue to be a primary playcaller.

We all already know the answer, he’s the only one that can’t see the obvious at this point.
It’s year 5 so this is his entire program, obviously not a good look to lose to a team like App st. I don’t know that even 6-6 with a mediocre recruiting finish gets him fired after this year, but it makes his seat next year screaming hot.
There’s already lots of memes comparing him to Sumlin as they basically have the same record 50 games in. It was pretty obvious that Sumlin’s program was declining and his best seasons were his first with all of Sherman’s players. I wouldn’t say that the program is declining under Fisher, but it’s just treading water. We aren’t getting better, we aren’t building a winning culture, and he’s not being paid to tread water, he’s being paid to win.

We know how this ends, the question is when. End of this year? End of next year? We are never winning anything under him, unlikely we get back to 2020 level. So it’s a question of when the powers that be think it’s right to rip the band aid off.
My guess is we finish 7-5 or so this year, similar type next year and he’s fired next season.

We are having to rely on way too many underclassmen with little to no substantive game experience this year. I knew we lost a lot of upperclassmen after last year but was surprised when I counted the number of juniors/seniors actually starting on offense and defense.
Even though Foster is an underclassman, we need him back to stabilize the interior of the OLine with his full season of playing experience from last year. We also had bad luck that Robinson is already nicked up and we don't have an experienced TE that is ready to play. Wright will not be a world beater as a receiver but he probably would have helped out a lot with the run game.
I agree that Fisher needs to be ready to pull King next week if he is missing wide open throws. Hopefully we can provide at least decent pass protection for Johnson after getting 2 games in with the current OLine group.
