It's a real big mess. I get that sometimes 4 and 5 stars don't live up to the hype. But if you can't even begin to put recruits like the ones he's been getting in a position to at least leverage their talent... what are you doing man?
Get out.
We used to have a joke that our 5 star receivers didn't know the route tree and thus are riding the pine I laughed when the announcers tonight mentioned they talked with A&Ms tight end and he said "The issue is having to know all the different route combinations and then be on the same page as the QB" lol.
I always felt Fisher would be better in the NFL where they can practice 8 hours a day on this stuff.
In 2017 FSU had 5 straight top 5 recruiting classes, including the #1 class in 2016, and went 5-6 under Fisher. Sound familiar? At A&M he has had 5 straight top 6 classes, and the best class ever last year and is 3-5.
Anyways in 2016 is when the signs of cracking showed up at FSU. Though looking back on it, the signs were there in 2014 as well. In 2016 after being blasted by Louisville by 42 points when we were ranked 3rd in the country. We went out and let USF go crazy in the 2nd half followed up by a loss to UNC at home, when we took the lead with 23 seconds left. The losing was part of the crack showing. But after the UNC loss Fisher forced players to sign an effort pledge. If all of those highly ranked recruits require an effort pledge to play better then something is seriously wrong. In 2016 I thought he lost the team, but they did crank out an Orange Bowl victory and a 10 win season. 2017 however opened the flood gates and when he was staring at the results of his mismanagement bolted for A&M. We doubled down by hiring Taggart, the absolute worst coach possible to fix a broken culture. We are just now crawling out of the mess Fisher and Taggart left.
I also laughed because Fisher used LSU to get a raise and contract extension out of A&M. He pulled that every year at FSU starting in 2012. It was also the same one-sided contract where he could leave without a buyout but if he was fired the school owed him the entire remaining contract.
Further just think about what they are proposing. You are paying a guy 100 million dollars over the next 10 years to win national championships. But his offense is so bad you are going to spend 2 million on an OC to hold his hand and make this right. The boosters and admins at A&M have to be wondering what the fuck did he sign up for here?
