  Speaker 1: Little take before we open the phone calls up and
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: that's I guess you guys have been hearing the national
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: news so to speak this week with Jimbo Fisher right
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: so I kind of want to give you guys what
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I know on the situation and I want to give
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: out too much as far as what I do know
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: also don't want to come off as.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: But know it all anything like that but.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I will say without saying too much the national media
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: is very slow on this this news as far as
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Jimbo has been going around, from my perspective, what I've
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: gathered and my sources and people I talk to, this
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: has been going around for like a week and a
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: half as far as the noise around Jimbo. Of course,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: it's already been reported, but I can absolutely say he
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: wants the job. There's a lot of big boosters in
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: high places that want him to return as well, too, right?
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: And there's some boosters that don't want him to return,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: some fans that don't want him to return due to
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: How things ended at Florida State, of course, naturally, it
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: was a bad breakup.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And, of course, how.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Things ended at Texas A & M with all the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: funds and resources that he did have didn't work out
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: at Texas A & M. But some things I've been
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: able to confirm in regards to the situation, the money
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: would definitely be out.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: The money would definitely be out.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: If Jimbo is the guy, a lot of boosters are
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: ready to come back and open up the checkbooks to
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: give him whatever he needs. He will be willing to
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: take less money. Will be willing to take less money.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, we all know the $ 70 million deal he
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: got from Texas A & M, fully guaranteed, so he's
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: still getting paid that money. He'll take $ 5 to $ 7
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: million from FSU.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: He's still getting $ 12.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: To $ 13 million overall if you include the buyout from
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Texas A & M. He will have a big budget
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: for staff. He will have a very big budget for staff.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: That's something he's That's something he's making an emphasis on
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: as far as having a big money for staff.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: I want to give out.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Some heavy-hitter names that's being floated around as far as
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: coordinators that could come on with Jimbo Fisher. And again, these,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I don't want to put on some all-world insider this, that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: and third, man. But certain sources I do have that's
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: pretty much good money on certain things, and this is
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: definitely good money. You know, the main question Florida State
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: fans have, OC, play calling, that type of deal. Will
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: he still be over play calling or will he be
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the CEO and running the entire program type of deal?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He will take a step back from play calling. That's
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: why this officer coordinator that could possibly come on to
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: him is a big part of the contingent as far
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: as a plan to get him on. Some big names,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like I said, that's Manfred Reiner's coordinator. Can verify through
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: multiple sources as well too that he is already starting
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: to reach out to high schools and that type of
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: deal in recruiting fertile areas for FSU. Just checking the temperature,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: getting those relationships back rolling. South Florida, Georgia, spoke with
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: South Florida coaches, spoken with some Georgia coaches, some coaches
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: within the Central Florida area as well that can confirm that, hey,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he's been reaching out, trying to get the lay of
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the land a little bit, continue those relationships, that type
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: of deal. So that being said, Jim O'Fishery is 100%
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: a real option for FSU. Has been a real option. Well,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: it's always been a real option, but the smoke around
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: it has gotten a lot thicker within the last week
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and a half or so. The national media is pretty
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: much slow on this. We're reporting this the last few
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: days and kind of getting that out. Well, folks, that's actually,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I guess you could say, close within the program, close
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to the program, have kind of known that this has
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: been something.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That is a real... serious... What's the word I want
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: to use? A real... It's legs to it.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Let's put it that way. It's real smoke to it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: It's an absolute chance that it possibly can happen. Both
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: sides have been talking. Both sides aren't interested. Let's leave
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it at that. As far as how people feel about
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Jimbo coming back in that type of deal and what
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: he can bring to the table, good and bad, 60.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Years old, which isn't old.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: I know people feel like they want to have the,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: you hire your next coach, you want him to be
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there for the next 10 to 15 to 20 years.
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: You don't need that with Jimbo.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: He could be here three or four or five years,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: set the stage, rebuild the program for the next guy.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: You could have a head coach and waiting situation as well, too.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: That's something that's been floating around, kind of similar to
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what Jimbo had under Bobby Bowden.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: High-profile coordinator, defense, offense, come in and beat you.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: Give them a healthy payday, and they come in and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: be a possible bridge gap in a few years once
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: the program is back on, proper footing, proper resources, proper
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: recruiting from a talent standpoint and all that type of deal.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know what he brings to the table as far
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: as recruiting. I mean, we know that. You know he's
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: going to be a hell of a recruiter. He's going
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: to get into these living rooms. He's going to get players.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: He's going to get players in certain areas the FSU
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: needs to get players in. Great relationship in South Florida.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Great relationship in South Florida. something that Mike Norvell, even
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: though we've recruited South Florida, he's never really.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Coming in. He never had those relationships to begin with.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: He didn't really build on it by hiring multiple guys
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that's familiar within the area and guys that are aggressive
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: within the area. Jimbo is a guy that's already familiar
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: with the area, aggressive, knows how that goes.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: South Florida coaches trust Jimbo. They trust him.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: They'll send their guys to Jimbo easily due to past
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: relationships and how you treat the players.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Go back to all the Florida State guys from South
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Florida that.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Went big time or that produced big time for Florida
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: State from a Jimbo Fisher standpoint, Dalvin Cook, Devontae Freeman.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: LaMarcus Joyner.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: Names go on and on and on as far as
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: players from that area that we recruited and became big
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: time players for.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: And even going to Texas A & M.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: He went down there and recruited guys, and those guys
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: are going to be first-round draft picks as well. So
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: you bring that to the table. Coaching standpoint, just from
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: an organizational standpoint, it's a lot better. What I do question,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I will have a question if we do, if Jimbo
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: Fisher is the guy. The main question I will have
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: is probably my main question would probably be how things
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are handled from a, I don't want to say discipline,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a program structural standpoint. Because at a certain point, you
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: guys know that culture, so to speak, it left during
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: the tail end of his FSU days. It left him
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: tail end of his FSU days. Can you get that
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: mojo back and then build that proper culture that you
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: had with Marcus Joyner, Selva Smith, Timmy Jernigan, Jameis Wilson, this, that,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and the third? When you get that back going, he
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: should be fine. But again, I do think he's motivated
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: for sure. He's sat back and had time to realize
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: mistakes he's made at Florida State and mistakes he's made
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: at Texas A & M to kind of be better
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: for it. And this is pretty much all he asked
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: for as far as Florida State from a resource standpoint.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: He's been asking for this stuff. The stuff we're currently
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: getting now, Jimbo asked for this shit 10 plus years ago.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: And we're just now getting it. Better late than never,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: but that's what I feel like from a We're trying
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: to reorganize everything from the top bottom to be a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: competent running organization. And that's exactly what he wants. He
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: can step in and be a similar transition to ACC. Now,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I do think he can win eight to nine games,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: compete for the ACC championship for sure.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: You got Clemson on the downfall. I think they're definitely done.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: They did come back and win against North Carolina. Shout
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: out to Dabo and those guys for fighting. But Clemson,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: I feel like, is on the downfall. Miami is, of course, up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: SMU is a good player within the ACC Conference, Louisville,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: et cetera. It's not world leaders that FSU, without a
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: competent leadership at the top and proper backing, can't compensate
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: for and be effective with. So, again, that's my spiel
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on Jimbo Fisher. It's absolutely true as far as the
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: smoke that you've been hearing. The national media is kind
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: of late to the party. This thing has been matriculating
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: for a while now. starting to reach out to figure
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: out things, reaching out to coaches in different areas as
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: far as from a recruiting standpoint. So it'll be interesting
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: to see how things play out over the next few
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: weeks as far as from an FSU standpoint, wins, losses.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We'll see how things go. We'll see how things go.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much all I have on that general official spirit.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Wanted to address that because it has been national news,
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: national headlines. Can't confirm that the smoke is real and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: the smoke has been going on for a while.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: This is nothing new. The Wheels on a bus are
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: really just on a turn now.
