Former Texas A&M and Florida State head football coach, Jimbo Fisher, is back in the spotlight! After a couple of years away from the sidelines, the 59-year-old coach has officially secured a new position, but not as a head coach this time.
Fisher, known for leading Florida State to a national championship in 2014, surprised many when he left Tallahassee for College Station in 2018. While his tenure at Texas A&M didn't quite live up to the massive expectations set by his lucrative contract, he's now ready to tackle a different challenge.
