re: Aggies heard it might be happening today?

What I don't know is what this early contact consisted of. It may have just been some informal feelers from A&M to Fisher's agent. However, it could have also been active negotiations or it's possible there was even a tacit agreement or some type of hand-shake deal. The latter would certainly explain how poorly this season played out -- if Fisher had one foot out the door for months.

Interesting theory.

That theory being... Jimbo's a great coach but his playing footsie with A&M got FSU a 6 loss season. Never mind this is hardly Jimbo's first hot pursuit by another program.

Florida State can't fire Fisher but needs to find a way to expedite his departure and make the transition as painless as possible for all parties.

I definitely understand why FSU just wants to hurry up and get this resolved ASAP and definitely would rather Jimbo just leave if the choice is between firing him (much more expensive) or letting him go. The pool of available coaches they can replace Jimbo with shrinks with each passing day not to mention the far more important issue of the recruiting window. Jimbo needs to shite or get off the pot.
