Jimbo Fisher Expresses Interest In Coaching Again

"I'm 59, in great shape and healthy. I've had success everywhere we've ever been," Fisher said. "The end at Texas A&M, it's unfortunate, but we also had the highest-ranked team they ever had there in 2020. Our quarterbacks got hurt. We played with first-team, third-team. ... It was hard to get playcalling and guys around. ... Didn't pan out like we needed to, but I still love it."

Fisher, who was hired by Texas A&M ahead of the 2018 season, later received a 10-year, $95 million deal in 2021. He was fired by the Aggies in November 2023 after going 45-25. Prior to that, he went 83-23 at Florida State, winning the 2013 national title and three consecutive ACC championships from 2012-14.

"Being able to [coach], I would," Fisher told the podcast. "I've won 72% of my games, won 80% of my playoff games. I've been fortunate to win a national championship as a head coach and assistant. I miss the relationships with players. I would be very interested in still doing it. I still think I've got a lot to give. I'd like to get back out there."
