The Year in Review: Florida St. (9-4, 5-3)
By Paul Myerberg // Jan 27, 2012
Imagine we live in an alternate universe, one where the University of Alabama system Board of Trustees can’t unilaterally dictate the ebb and flow of its athletic programs located outside of Tuscaloosa. It’s a difficult situation to consider, I know, but suspend your disbelief for the interest of this scenario. So it’s the winter of 2006, and U.A.B. reaches out to — nay, actually agrees to a contract with — L.S.U. offensive coordinator Jimbo Fisher, who had just completed his seventh season as an assistant in Baton Rouge. The contract, which hovered around $600,000 annually, was very much in line with what Fisher demanded as a national title-winning assistant coach; in addition, two members of the U.A.B. community offered to pay half of his annual contract.

Spring Storylines: Florida State
By Paul Myerberg // Mar 3, 2011
National titles hopes are back in vogue in Tallahassee. It’s been some time since Florida State held such realistic aspirations; you might have to go back to 2003 — give or take — to find the last time the program put together a team and coaching staff truly capable of running the table, even if the dedicated fan base was able to fool itself into thinking otherwise in the years since. This is a new era, one piloted by Jimbo Fisher and a talented staff, one propelled forward by a roster loaded with young, athletic talent. In short, it should be an exciting spring for Florida State. One can’t blame a hungry coaching staff, team and fan base for counting down the days until the Seminoles retake the field.
