Up Side:
1. His clock starts over.
2. Texas is loaded with good high school guys like Florida.
3. Not as high pressure. Kind of like Miss State. Not fire happy. Coach friendly enviroment.
4. Probably better over all facilities
Down Side:
1. Your in Texas and not Florida however his part of Florida is like living in Alabama.
2. Crazy ass cult like Traditional
3. Face the SEC west every year.
Feel free to add.
I'd prefer FSU not open up, tbh....
The first time Jimbo as A&M's coach beats O in Tiger Stadium at night the howls and wails will be heard throughout the bayou.
Mullen to ......FSU...
Texas A&M is a step down from FSU. Fisher has already won a natty with FSU in 2013. Does he hate Florida State fans/boosters/athleticdept or something??
IF they fire Sumlin, aTm is going to hire Chad Morris.
I see zero reason for Fisher to leave the ACC and go to the SECW. If he wants out of FSU, he should go to Tennessee. If he didn't go to LSU he's not going to aTm.
A&M is nowhere close to FSU. And Jimbo is just jockeying for more money etc. He's not leaving FSU.
Maybe A&M is slightly less of a pressure cooker than FSU, but not by much. Sumlin would likely already have been gone before this year except for a stiff buyout.Quote:

That's probably it.Quote:

If Jimbo wanted out of FSU, it seems like he would have put word out last year, so that LSU would keep Miles until year end. Then in the off season, go to LSU. Definitely harder to win a NC in SECw than at FSU.
But it would workQuote:

FSU has the best facilities in the state of Florida: no competition.
This is just a money play; he would be a fool to go to A&M.
You may be right, but if asked, I would say A&M is higher in the pecking order than FSU. The schools are about the same size, A&M probably has better academics, and the stadium exceeds FSU's by 25-30K. Of course, I remember FSU the way it was back in the 60s and 70s when they were everybody's homecoming team before Bobby Bowden showed up.Quote:

If it's handled the right way a negative can be turned into a positive and a lot of good can come from something that was once bad. Nobody on the planet should be more active in preventing sex assault than Art Briles. He does that he can right his ship before he leaves this planet.
FSU and A&M were both great programs. Can't go wrong with either. FSU may be an easier path to a national championship though.
